Old lessons learned again.

What a difference three days can make. On Wednesday everyone was nearly sure of a blizzard and +6 inches of snow would hit Indiana and now we are lucky to get one inch of snow. The storm shifted to the east and will hit Ohio and Pennsylvania. 

This is a classic case to help remind you that storms are not predictable until 48 hours in advance. Long range forecasts of 5 or 7 or 10 days out are unreliable and especially in the winter.

To the people that watch computer models, remember that they are only guidance, not forecasts.

Here is a snow map that has Bloomington with less than one inch. Ha! Three days ago we were supposed to get 6 inches of snow.
