We all knew we had it coming. And it came. Not as much as some forecasters had predicted, but It marked the first time that the OC had gotten a phone call the day before (Monday) notifying him that a severe snow storm was  sure to happen. He was unable to hear where the call emanated from, though he did hear the word Wabasha somewhere in the mix.

While considering weather-related occurrences, he recalls a day some years ago in Cancun, Mexico when the ‘first in memory’ hailstorm hit that resort city. Natives there were quite sure that the end of the world was upon them!
