Maybe he’s right

I like to tease D because he thinks he’s all weather god or something. We’ve got the beeping weather station in our room. He makes predictions like he’s been to meteorology school. And this afternoon he predicted that I will have precisely one (perhaps two) days of school this week on account of the big storm that’s supposedly headed this way. I told him I just didn’t buy it, that everyone’s making a big deal out of nothing. (Apparently most of the people in our town are buying in to the idea of something major coming. Wal Mart was about sold out of milk, bottled water, and bread...)

Anyway. I just checked the weather. Not only are we under a winter storm watch beginning Tuesday morning, but the words snow, rain, sleet, freezing rain, and ice pellets are all in the forecast for the next 2 - 3 days.

Ice pellets? That can’t be good.
