the great blizard of 2007

or at least that is what they are calling it. So the topic came up as to what exactly is a blizzard. After a little research I found that is most often an overused inaccurate description of the winter weather outside. In truth it is when three criteria are met 1) sustained wind of 35 mph or more, 2) visibility of 1/4 mile, or less, 3) must last more then three hours. I do not think we meet this criteria, but I still want a t-shirt "I survived the great blizzard of 2007"
On a slightly different note, the news is funny... Right now (with the heavy snow falling), we have Richard Whiteout, that is Richard White out side, looking at the conditions on the north side, and Angela Longnecker (i swear they said rubbernecker) watching traffic in the south.
