YMMV

YMMV is texter-talk for "Your Mileage May Vary." It's relevant today in context of recent snowfall. Precip has been pretty fickle in Eastern Idaho. Island Park barely picked up a half inch of precip and only a few inches of snow. Meanwhile Pine Creek Pass fared better, gaining about 10 inches of snow. The real winner is down in Napoleon Dynamite Country in the high country of the Idaho Wasatch east of Preston. That area got 2.5 inches of snow water equivalent and danged near another couple of feet of snow! Sunday morning here in Idaho Falls is fully decked in stylish Winter Gray. It's foggy and cold with lots of sloppy snow strewn helter skelter every which way but loose.

OK, let's talk about the graphic in this post. When's the last time you've seen such a "busy" weather map? Looks like they almost ran out of space to draw their little arrows and make those funky circles for heavy snow. I often wonder if making those maps is like playing a video game like Guitar Hero or Grand Theft Auto. Maybe when those head-phone clad Weather Wonks are hunched in front of their computer screen, they are actually rocking out to Def Leppard or grooving on Squirrel Nut Zippers. Who knows?
