Hyped weather forecasts

To the Editor: I got a kick out of your “Storm Survival” editorial in the Sunday edition of the New Hampshire Union Leader, as it comes on the heels of a WMUR forecast I listened to back on the evening of Feb. 15. The forecast was for snow coming in overnight that “might decrease visibility for up to a half a mile.” A bit odd I thought given I don’t know of anyone who can see for half a mile at night even without snow.
