A Note About Snow and looking ahead
Wednesday, January 12, 2011 4:29 P.M. Hey everybody, I am going to try and update this blog more often, even if it is only for a little while. We saw more snow than what was expected last night, although not that much more. The reason? The models scoured out the cold air too quickly. This […]
