Based on the television weather forecasters you would have thought that Texas was in for a monsoon. High winds, hail, dangerous conditions, heavy rainfall, etc. That all netted out to a sum total 2 tenths of an inch of rain for our ponds in East Texas. A far cry from the 1-2" forecasted!

Tell me about it...our 12" blizzard hosted by the Weather Channel might yield 4" today. Called school off and everything. Oh well, less snow for me to move later.

I got 6/10 in D/FW. Will be headed North this weekend. However, at around 8 ft low, I'm not expecting a whole lot.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I don't think the TV weather guys are the biggest culprits. I really think it is the Station Managers that market and over market the weather forecasts.
This time it was to be 1 to 2 inches and possible floods.

We only got at the most 2" of snow out of the storm. They're calling for freexing rain and drizzle until mid-morning tomorrow with highs in the mid 30's. This year is shaping up to be a very dry one here again.

I think we got about an inch over here Scott. School was called off due to some freezing drizzle.
Don't be too hard on the meteorologists guys. Some of these storms are pretty complex and even with computer models they're hard to forecast. I do believe there is the hype factor in th media though.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
