Dear Weather People,

It’s possible that I just don’t understand your complicated weather forecasting terminology, but I didn’t think that when you said today’s weather would be "partly cloudy," that meant "you’ll wake up to four inches of snow on your car, will spend fifteen minutes digging out your vehicle while being pelted in the face by the howling wind and snow,  then have a terrifically harrowing drive to work only to spend your whole work day watching the blizzard outside and wondering how the heck you are going to get home." 

But again, this may just be my lack of education.

I don’t mind the snow, but I do feel a bit caught unawares.  Maybe you can send me a Weatherperson-English dictionary so that we don’t have this misunderstanding in the future?

My most sincere regards,

Cherie

PS- Thank you for updating your forecast to "snow showers with 1-2 inch accumulation."  However, I’m looking out the window at about 6 inches of snow.  And the "snow showers" seem to be falling sideways.
