Snowicane or not
Gotta be a joke about economic forecasting in this somewhere. I guess there is even competition among meterologists. Check out the meteorological dialectic on the current snowstorm:
The folks at Accuweather have been running this as a headline: "Wicked Snowicane Continues to Make a Mess of Travel, Cut Power".
Then the folks at the Weather Channel run a whole piece on the "extreme hyperbole" being reported. I wonder if that counts for chalkboard material among weather wonks?
Which is all really just a foil to point out that there is another datapoint out there that ex-Pittsburghers run the world. One of the recently appointed top folks at the National Weather service is yet another diasporan. Gotta be a diaspora story in that somehow. Toland? Bueller? Toland? Bueller? Don't make me cover you again as with the roofers?
update: check out AP wire on the semantics of meteorology of late.

i think kdka expressed that the atmospheric pressure at center of the low system dumping snow wicked hard up 'ere was equivalent to a Cat-2 hurricane. neat.
Isn't enough that I asked the guv about the RAD tax for you?
