Warning! Snow!

I live in St. Louis where the easiest job in the nation can be found. . . .a meteorologist. All a meteorologist in St. Louis needs is a rock:

• If rock is wet it's raining
• If rock is white it's snowing
• If rock is hot, temp is up
• If rock is swinging, it's windy
• If rock is gone there's a tornado

See, I could be a meteorologist!

We have a forecast of accumulated snow of about 5-7" starting today and going into tomorrow evening. What's that? Did I hear a rumor that possibly it's been upgraded to 12" now? The unfortante thing about living in St. Louis too has to do with the fact that there are a lot of people with idle time on their hands and room to come up with grandiose rumors. How can one be a weatherman in this town with THAT working against them along with unpredictable weather?

Oh. . . latestest update. . . .our winter "watch" has been cancelled and replaced with a winter "warning". If you don't hear from me within a week, you know that I got snowed in.
