LOL, nope, it was not. But thanks for the insult. It's obvious that being a realist is equivalent to being negative.
You have no clue how many times over the years that your pretty snow maps resulted in nothing more than a bunch of puddles in my backyard. As a realist (based off dozens and dozens of prior experiences) I will remain skeptical (not negative) until I have reason to be different otherwise. Those snow maps mean very little to what will actually happen.
Funeral...geez, I thought we were having fun. It's not fun any longer though.
