Perpetual Ruminations

Lion or Lying?

I woke up to a world of white again, but just a dusting instead of the one to three inches The folks over in Grand Forks predicted. The dusting lasted through the morning, but melted off this afternoon when the sun broke through the clouds and the temperature climbed into the forties.

We get another early spring day tomorrow, but those same clowns in Grand Forks have now issued a winter storm warning for Tuesday and Wednesday with three to six inches possible after some freezing rain. Whether or not we get bad weather or not is yet to be determined.

My Mom always said if March comes in like a lamb, and it did this year, it will go out like a lion—I never know if the weather service is lying or not. I don't put a lot of faith into their forecast until the day after as it seems they are wrong more often than right.
