NWS Albany

[Glenn]

As always during the winter, I read the forecast discussion a lot. There's been some pretty funny/interesting descriptions posted from the Albany office....


THESE THREATS LINE UP LIKE A CONGA LINE. THE FIRST LATE THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY...THE SECOND SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. THIS PARADE
CONTINUES INTO THE EFP.

Yeah, one of the forecasters has really been using some figurative language! Makes it a bit less dry.
