Big "snow storm" today, although I'm just not seeing it accumulate as much as the models were predicting. The back edge of the storm is deteriorating too rapidly for my taste.
Anyway, sort of on that note, am I the only meteorologist that DOESN'T like snow? I don't mind forecasting for it, but I don't like driving in it either. I suppose I'm a little biased, because I was in an automobile accident which was on a very snowy road, and that kind of experience tends to stay with you. I hate driving in the snow and seeing all the accidents, having to creep along to keep from spinning out of control and always having to be on the look out for sliding vehicles. Plus, I only get sick once a year and it's during the winter, and it's usually a cold that makes me bedridden for at least a few days, although this year I had a cold that lasted three weeks! Ah well, that's just me, but apparently all the other meteorologists I've talked to get excited about the stuff and think you're not a TRUE meteorologist unless you are excited about snow as well. Oh well, guess I'm not a "true" meteorologist.
Other than this, not much else happening today. I haven't studied very much in the past two days but I have no choice but to crack down on the books and get going. Soon. Very soon. This computer and internet is just so distracting...
