Even the head meteorologist was on the road to demonstrate how bad things were going to get. All were predicting snowfall in my area at 2-3 inches as a cold front mixed with a low coming off the Gulf full of moisture. It was to be worse east of here as well, but these guys were concentrating on the local area.
Well it finally started raining, as predicted, about 11:00 AM. and it rained for about 3 or so hours before changing over to snow. It never did snow hard, and we ended up with about 1/2 inch of snow.
Over at college, A ended up with less than 1 inch of snow. I think BW got slightly more when all was completed.
What do you call a Chief Meteorologist that is driving around in the television station van looking for snow that does not get here?......Desperate for job security.

Hahahahaha! I always have to laugh when these things come on because they're just so hilarious.
We had a tornado up in Vancouver (WA, so right across the Columbia from Portland) last week. An F1, so not a biggie. It splintered a boat house with a bunch of crew shells and took down a few trees. It was totally unexpected, and the weather guy that I trust was truly sheepish about it, "Nobody saw this coming. There were no indications on any of our modesls. Maybe a shower or two would bubble up, but not even any thunderstorms!" On and on.
They were on TV live from 12:45 (when it was confirmed) until 5pm. I think they were playing "you go back to regular-scheduling first" ratings chicken.
