A Three-Day Snow EVENT!
That's what the meteorologists in Pittsburgh are calling our Monday-Wednesday snowstorm this week.

To me, it just sounds like a big party with lots of cocaine!

:P

Has anyone else been hearing this new terminology?

1. we were just laughing about this
Edited on Mon Feb-28-05 07:21 PM by tigereye
because - there is little or no snow! 6-10, 4-8 , 6-8. Our esteemed prognosticators are so full of crap. NOAA this am said 2-4 inches today.

:hi: from the East End!

On the "news" they were reduced to pointing under cars to point out that there was 1/2 an inch of snow. :eyes:

2. I saw them pointing under the van on WTAE news. LOL!
They said it was supposed to start snowing at 6 a.m. It didn't start here until after 8, and that's after some schools had already cancelled for the day.

We'll see what happens tomorrow. :hi:

4. When did they start calling snow storms EVENTS?
This is a new one to me.

Hey Bunny! How's Vandergrift?

5. They've been doing this all winter. Unfortunately for them,
we haven't had much snow. Pretty unEVENTful, as it were! V-grift is fine, dull as always but that is not a bad thing.
