Snow??????

RantWoman grew up in MT. RantWoman is not opposed to snow in its place--such as safely up in the mountains storing up moisture for the summer.or in far-off places where most of the population is more resistant to Snowzilla's Magical Stupid Ray and/ or at least knows better how to drive on snow than in Seattle.

But no! At a time when RantWoman wants to be able to tote the herbs outside and not have to fear they will get frostbitten overnight, at a time when days are longer and RantWoman starts to fantasize about bounty on her balcony, the weather forecast this weekend has those dreaded words "snow even at sea level and accumulation possible in scattered locations."

No. No. No!

And not even the thought of hearing about it in the voice of Cliff Mass, RantWoman's favorite weather guy, with a darned nice voice and hints of turgid verbiage about statistical models besides makes RantWoman any happier. Just COPE!
