It looks like there’s going to be a snowstorm in these parts starting Saturday night and going into Sunday morning. It’s hard to tell how many inches it will be, or if it will be a “wintry mix”. Before Covid and the beginning of “Zoom worship” as a thing, you’d wait until Sunday morning to see what actually happened. But now, with the possibility of Zoom worship, you want to make the call during the day Saturday so that the worship leaders can make the shifts they need to to have worship online-only. So the lay leaders and I will make the call tomorrow (Saturday) morning based on weather forecasts rather than the actual weather reality of Sunday.

The problem is, I find that weather forecasts try to make the storm sound as exciting as possible — like a snowmageddon or snowpocalypse is upon us. It’s better for ratings. So it’s hard not to be skeptical.

My gut feeling is that it won’t be that much snow, but the timing is terrible. We shall see.
