    RW>> The local tv meteorologist who's a ham checked into local   
    RW>> traffic net on vhf last night calling for up to 3 inches of   
    RW>> snow possibly this afternoon in the Memphis area.  Looking   
    RW>> at the weather echo and what nws is saying about that system I know   
    RW>> we're going to get somethign out of this.  Would rather the snow than   
    RW>> the sleet but either way we've got to take Kathy into the city for pt   
    RW>> this afternoon.  This could be interesting.   
       
    NB>> So, what did* you get...?  :)   The weekend before this message, we   
      
    RW> We got rain and a bit of wind, that was about it.  That was   
    RW> fine with me though.  The following week it crept up into   
    RW> the 70's.     
      
   I rarely complain about storms that don't materialize...    
      
    NB> got more than a foot of snow in 24 hours...  I watched most of it   
    NB> come down from the visitor's lounge at the hospital, while there on   
    NB> the Saturday night waiting to talk to the surgeon that was to fix my   
    NB> neighbor's broken arm in the morning...  At least my car was in the   
    NB> ramp garage, and I didn't have to clear it off when I finally got to   
    NB> leave... ;)    
    NB> And during the month of February, we got half the snow we've had all   
    NB> season... 28 of the about 57 inches this season.    
      
   (Correction, so far only 56.1 inches...)   
      
    RW> That doesn't surprise me, I've seen quite a few days of   
    RW> shirtsleeve weather outside, which even for here is weird.   
    RW> But then, end of last week we're getting slapped around by   
    RW> the late winter tornadoes, Branson MIssouri and parts of   
    RW> INdiana and Kentucky, etc.  Pretty strange stuff.   
      
   Very weird winter... and the spring is like unto it...   My daffodils   
   are up and in full bloom, as is my neighbor's forsythia bush.  We've had   
   summery temps for this whole week, but things are going back to normal   
   now, and over the weekend.  Next week the highs are supposed to be back   
   in the 50's or even 40's.  Not too bad, though... it's almost been too   
   hot this week alreadty, with highs getting into the low 80's.  Last   
   year, when this happened in May, it was unseasonable enough...!
