Seems they can't decide. [g] Several days ago snow *was* forecast for
today, but now it's Thursday. Then there's a comment that you *may* get
a little snow tonight. Better watch out for several feet of the stuff,
evidently they don't know when, or how much. Of course that's from the
site I usually check, and it never matches the temperature on the
newspaper site. Works like the site I check for my area, they don't know
either. It will rain ... maybe. And, the sun shines.

I hope you enjoy your day, FTR.

Betty brought next idea :
There was a little dusting of pellets yesterday morning, gone by
sunrise. I'll have to check my weather app to see what's coming.

You have an app for that? Must be interesting, if it is accurate. I look
at the web cam to see the weather in that town, though it doesn't mean
your weather is the same. It's funny how a short distance can make a big
difference in weather patterns.

The 'snow post' was serious, but it was also a test. My earlier reply to
you has not shown up on Giganews, I had to look elsewhere to see if it
posted. Losing posts is discouraging and irritating. I have something I
want to tell you, but I don't know where to post it.

WMUR Channel 9 offers a free app for their newscasts.

Elevation figures in too. Sometimes it snows up here while it rains in
the valley.

Into a black hole of data where data can't be fast enough to escape?

I think I remember you mentioning that.

It does make a difference.

It will take me awhile to write, and it's just an anecdote, nothing
important. I went back to YT to look for full episodes of the PBS
program and downloaded one to watch. Then I remembered a web site
dealing with genealogy concerning a family I used to know. Interesting.
