It was snowing heavily and blowing to the point that visibility was almost zero when a 30-year-old blonde named Michele got off work late one night. She made her way to her car and wondered how she was going to make it home.
Michele sat in her car while it warmed up and finally remembered her dad's advice; that if she got caught in a blizzard she should wait for a snowplow to come by and follow it. That way she would not get stuck in a snowdrift. Sure enough, in a little while a snowplow came by and she started to follow it.
Michele followed the snowplow for several hours, until the driver climbed out and came back to her car and signaled for her to roll down her window. The snowplow driver wanted to know if she was all right as she had been following him for a long time.
Michele said that she was fine and told him of her dad's advice to follow a snowplow when caught in a blizzard.
The driver replied "That's OK with me, but I'm all done with the WalMart
parking lot."
The trouble with weather forecasting is that it's right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it.

The greatest snowfall ever in a single storm was 189 inches at the Mount Shasta Ski Bowl in February, 1959.
