There's a lot of media hype about how we will get struck again with ice, snow, wind, blah, blah, blah.
This is why WeatherUnderground.com's 10-day forecast takes the confusion out of weather forecasts. It shows that between about 9 PM Saturday and 6 AM Sunday, we may get up to 2.2 inches of snow. But the Sunday high will be 42 degrees, so even if it sticks a bit, it'll melt off Sunday. Anytime a high of over 32 deg is predicted, snow and ice have a hard time "sticking" around.
A picture is worth a thousand words; in this weather picture, everything you need to know is right there, by the hour. WeatherUnderground.com wasn't the only tool we used when I was a Mountain Rescue member, but it was one we relied upon when lives might be at stake.
Moderate rain, with a high of 47 and low of 38 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Overcast in the morning, cloudy for the afternoon and evening, overcast overnight.
The fire chiefs' taxes paid explanation is correct. He does leave out the Medic One (EMS) levy. What is in error is his claim that the RFA will reduce next year's taxes. The RFA does nothing to reduce taxes.
Is there really such a disparity between the present financial conditions of Shoreline Fire and Northshore Fire? If so, vote No.
