mappy Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 But when was it supposed to start? I remember 10AM to noon. Thats why I added the "?" Like Ian said - precip was suppose to amount to much more AND it was modeled to be much further south than it was this morning. So, while is is raining now... the overall forecast was indeed a bust.
