White Christmas?

When I woke up this morning I checked the weather forecast on the cellphone -- and to my dismay it called for snow. White Christmases look nice, but can make a real mess of things here, as we learned a couple of years ago.

So it was with some relief (and puzzlement) that I checked two reliable weather sites and found only rain in the forecast, and temperatures well above freezing. But the phone still showed snow. On investigating, I found it was set to give a Chicago forecast, not local. Whew!
