Rooting for Snow
I’ve noticed more and more TV weather forecasters in the Philly area have been starting blogs on their station web sites, going behind the scenes on the various computer models and factors that influence their forecasts. I admit I have a hard time understanding some of the technical details, but it kind of surprises me that you sometimes see an unabashed rooting for large snowfalls. Now, I admit, I’m gonna be checking out school closings tomorrow morning with the rest of the city, but snow isn’t just a hassle, it’s a health risk. It doesn’t seem like something to get happily enthused about.
But maybe I’m just overreacting ’cause I don’t want to shovel.
