Some weather-guessers are saying a mix - up to 6” in Richmond Metro - again.
I’ve received 4 “Breaking News” updates in the last 12 hours all contradicting wach other.
Weather guessing isn’t rocket science but it’s supposed to BE a Science.
Looks like it does not matter either way! The sun is out here!!! Obviously everyone was wrong!
Harpoon, that is why RTD is referred to as the Richmnd Times MISpatch. Their grammactical & spelling erros are rampant. :)
Whatever. Just tell me when Spring gets here, I’m tired of dressing like I’m climbing Mount Everest just to walk the dog.
RTD cant catch a break around these parts.. haha
Dear Times-Dispatch,
The NWS storm warning expires on Wednesday at 6 PM - not 6 AM:
...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO
6 PM EST WEDNESDAY…
You also might want to stop using the term ‘tomorrow’ when referring to storms, etc. The main headline at the top of your page mentions snow and ice ‘tomorrow’, but isn’t that happening today (Tuesday)?
Dear Mr. Staff Reports,
Weather channel shows us getting a lot more.
Thanks.
