Sitting in Connecticut With Kids Waiting for the Snow  

Just think of it this way. Weather men are paid to be wrong all the time.

I had to laugh when I saw your subject. I am sitting in Virginia, just south of Washington, D.C. watching the news on the 'Blizzard of 2010, Round 2' and they were showing a live feed from DC. The reporter said he was reporting from Connecticut Avenue, but maybe he should just call it Connecticut since it looked more like the state instead of the nation's capital.

LOL. I guess obviously not, since you don't even have one inch yet, and we have MUCH more than that. Would you believe our federal government is CLOSED for the 3rd day in a row?! (Hmm... who's running the country?)

The technology for forecasting weather is so much better than it was 10... even 5 years ago. The predictions have been right on here -- even down to the inch. I have been amazed (and dismayed at times, too) by how accurate they have been.

So hang tight, vmenard, and keep the shovel handy. Sending some snow your way.

Hi, vmenard. I love getting days like this when I was much younger. I could really use a break and having no school due to a storm coming is very fun. I agree with you. There should not be any school when a storm is near approaching. It is best for children to stay home on this type of day. I hope all will be well with you and your family. Take care.
