Friday the 13th Storm of Death!

Yesterday the weather forecasters were calling for 6-18 inches of snow. I checked the forecast at 3pm yesterday to see "100% chance of heavy snow overnight".

That's pretty much a sure fire sign that nothing is going to happen. The one major snowstorm the Front Range had this year (36 inches in about 12 hours) was totally whiffed by the forecasters, yet last night's doomsday forecasts and apocalypse warnings fizzled.

Yesterday even as light snow fell Downtown Denver I declared this latest storm would be a "non-event" and I could not have been more correct. So today the entire Front Range gets to mock the "sky is falling" weather forecasters and be thankful that we have a dry, warm weekend heading our way.
