01/15/2004 Entry: "No snow... BWAH!" They predicted this moderate snowstorm (1-3 inches) yesterday and people freaked out as they usually do. I woke up this morning: no snow. As Nelson would say, "Ha ha!" When I was a kid, there were a few times when school was closed, in advance, because of an impending snowstorm. It was always funny to hear school had been canceled, and to "bundle up, and hunker down, because this is going to be big,"and the next morning ... no snow. Not a flake. I haven't seen that as an adult, I suspect because they are better at predicting the weather, and the school system is less trigger-happy than they used to be.
