Punishment

...
I sure hope they're wrong about this:

919 AM CST WED NOV 29 2006

WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN LINCOLN HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON. RAIN WILL CHANGE TO FREEZING RAIN ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON. ICE ACCUMULATIONS GREAT THAN ONE QUARTER INCH ARE POSSIBLE BY LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ESPECIALLY ON ELEVATED SURFACES...AS ARCTIC AIR CONTINUES TO FILTER SOUTHEAST. THIS PRECIPITATION WILLMIX WITH SLEET AND SNOW IN THE EVENING...AND CHANGE OVER TO ALL SNOW OVERNIGHT. HEAVY SNOW IS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT...INTO MIDDAY FRIDAY...WITH ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO 12 INCHES POSSIBLE. A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW...SLEET...OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL.CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.

I've been watching this thing develop all week and thought the official forecast was underplaying its potential. Now I think (hope) they've gone too far the other way.
