Here We Go Again

“The National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch for most of the Tri-State from Friday morning to Saturday afternoon. A pair of approaching storm systems heading toward the area will bring rain, snow or both. The storms, one bringing cold air from the west, the other bringing moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, are poised to collide over the region on Friday.

The problem now is determining which one will arrive first, because that will decide how much rain and how much snow the area will see. Forecast models have been rapidly changing in the last 24 hours.”

Don't you just love how dramatic they are with their description? This is why people in Cincinnati get whipped up into a frenzy when snow is predicted. They make it sound so dire ... though I cannot tell a lie, I will make it a point to stock up on Mountain Dew and get a fresh gallon of milk this evening. Gotta be prepared, you know.

I'll let you know how those "forecast models" play out when the storm systems collide over Cincinnati in the next 24 - 48 hours. My guess is that it won't be a big deal at all.
