Expect a Light Dusting

I am right now sending a new tape measure to the weatherpeople at my favorite local TV channel WCSH out of Portland Maine. It was on Friday and Saturday that I kept checking the weather when my main man, Joe Cupo, kept saying "Sunday for the mid coast area we will have 2 to 4 inches of snow accumulation" . Well Joe, you only missed it by 11 inches. That's right 15 inches of snow that I was not mentally prepared to clean up because of your forecast Joe. So what is the problem you have sophisticated satellites, Doppler radar and ever other tool at your disposal, and you miss it by only 11 inches. I wore out 3 snow shovels and 2 snow blowers trying to remove 15 inches of snow. And don't get me started on the 4 foot drifts. It would be just like Zebadiah the ancient weatherman telling Noah "It just going to be a slight drizzle". So Joe and Roger Griswold, Kevin Mannix, Steve McKay, and Kelly LaBrecque I am watching you all. And you have to make me believe in you again. So get on the stick, make me a believer.

While you're snowed in, I suggest you check out the Men's Room Bible. Sure, it won't fix the snowbanks, but at least you'll know what to do next time you have to pick a urinal.

Bilford,
You know the old saying "When life hands you lemons, you can always make lemondade."
So now that the weather guy was wrong AGAIN, you can dig out the stuff you accummulated for the hurricanes and ice storms (that never occured) get off your sorry butt and get a party going, ask the party-goers to help and start singing "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas."
A little egg nog with rum or a big martini could always help the situation. (If all else fails, I still have a large supply of extra strength ibuprofen!)
Here's to the Spring thaw! Merry Christmas to all ...
