Scientist: Meteorologist

If a meteorologist, or a team of them, or a TV network full of them, or a government agency staffed with them, tells you that there will be two days with a 90-100% chance of snow with accumulations up to maybe 3 or 4 inches by the end of the second night, what they really mean is that there will be about 45 minutes total of snow with an accumulation of about .35 inches by the end of the first afternoon. This is because they are experts.

Recommend: No! Stop checking the weather reports. You will only be disappointed. It will only be cold outside, and snow will be a mysterious surprise.

In Texas, what they mean is, "It could snow. Or it could not. Maybe it will rain. Or be sunny, or foggy. Perhaps it will turn out to be very warm."

Well GW's plan to create a consistent teperature year round has finally paid off.
