LOL! Wonder where that came from.

[weatherlover427]

Interesting choice of wording there. Probably due to all the issues you've had with flooding in that area recently.

[Aslkahuna]

Actually, more due to the uncertantities as to where the snow level will be than anything else since they already have the flooding potential covered.

That makes sense too. It all depends on how much warm air gets pulled into the system I suppose.
