Our readers may have noticed that we didn’t hop on the snow-mageddon bandwagon ahead of the wintry weather that your friendly television weathermen had been promising for two weeks. That’s because we’re not meteorologists and don’t claim to be. We rely instead on the National Weather Service in Little Rock — trained weather professionals with college degrees in meteorology. It doesn’t surprise us that our corner of the state (or “bubble” to us Arkadelphians in the know) received far less than what was forecast on Sunday. Snow — when, where and how much — is hard to predict, so we say Just sit back, relax and wait for it. Some folks put far too much faith in guys named Todd.

When everyone is a meteorologist in 2024, who needs one more weather forecast in their Facebook feed?
Our gimp leg is a better weather indicator of changing weather than anything that guy says.
Owning a 4X4 has its perks, especially on days like today. Snow days will forever remind us of doing brodies in the vacant lot next to the Siftings Herald. Everyone but the sports editor and Yours Truly called in, so we had fun after deadline.
Still no word on whether a warming shelter will be open in Arkadelphia.
Good day for the hot tub. Bad day for solar panels.
