Here's a laugh from the National Weather Service for my area:
Late Afternoon Snow and freezing rain. High near 37. Northeast wind around 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Little or no ice accumulation expected. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
Tonight Rain and snow before 8pm, then rain, snow, and sleet between 8pm and 9pm, then rain after 9pm. Temperature rising to around 41 by 4am. East wind 10 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
Monday Rain, mainly before 2pm. High near 51. East wind 8 to 15 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
Monday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around 34. West wind 10 to 13 mph.
Tuesday A slight chance of rain and snow showers before 10am, then a chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 38. Northwest wind around 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.
It's been snowing like hell since around 9:00am (now 2:30pm) with no end in sight, with all that snow in the air I can't see past the end of the block. That's when the snow is supposed to end Tuesday night BTW, then start all over again Saturday.
"Obviously the sleigh and reindeer can't fly or land in 150 km/hr winds and tropical temperatures."
Obviously what? Reindeer can crab and how do you think Santa delivers goodies in Australia? FYI he often takes a break at Bondi Beach and goes surfing before continuing on his way. I guess you've never seen him wearing shorts and basking in the sun drinking a mai tai.
