WTF: What the flake?

Everyone’s favorite four-letter word is back.

No, not that one. I gave up cursing for Lent, remember?

Yes, they are calling for snow again. Maybe a lot of it. As they say in the forecasting biz, it all depends on the track of the storm.

The way this winter of our discontent has gone, which way do you think it’s going to go?

A winter storm watch is in effect through noon Friday. Today doesn’t look like a problem. We all should make it home just fine, that is if we can fight our way through the supermarket checkout lines after stocking up on the essentials such as break, milk and eggs. Oh, that’s right, I don’t eat eggs. Never mind.

Snow is expected to arrive overnight, but things aren’t expected to really get cranked up until later in the morning Thursday into the afternoon.

They’re saying we could get as much as 6 inches.

I’m not making this up. I wish I was.

Actually, I wish I was in Clearwater watching the Phillies in spring training.

I wish I was just about anywhere but sitting here in the crosshairs of the fourth big storm of the winter.

I would even settle for another day of the nasty, chilly rain that has been pelting us this week. At least it’s melting the snow.

I just can’t even fathom digging out from another major storm.

Here’s my prediction. We get some snow, but not a lot. At this point, anything less than a foot in this area can officially be called a nuisance.

Spring will remain only a rumor.
