I heard something this morning I can’t remember ever hearing before.

The woman on the all-news radio station that forms the soundtrack to my life was talking about the weather. My heart immediately started skipping a beat, The last forecast I heard on TV last night indicated it appeared likely we were going to be spared a big hit, with the storm going east out into the ocean.

So I was taken aback when the woman on radio started talking about how “we were staring down the barrel of another winter storm.”

Had the forecast changed again overnight? Not exactly.

She then introduced a meteorologist from Accu-Weather, who immediately threw some serious cold water on the weather hype.

“I’m not sure we’re staring down the barrel of anything,” he said, again stressing it appeared we would not be getting nailed by Mother Nature.

So far the forecast is holding up, with most people saying we are due to get some rain tonight, which may change over to snow showers. But the heavy snow now appears to be out of the picture.

Then there’s my man Punxsutawney. The forecasting groundhog emerged from his burrow this morning and predicted six more weeks of winter.

Maybe he should get a radio gig.
