That makes me think of the local TV weather in Colorado Springs. If there is snow expected anywhere in their broadcast area they will "tease" it. "Is there snow in your forecast?...we'll tell you later." "It could be a snowy drive to work tomorrow morning for some viewers...more later." "A snowy weekend for some...we'll tell you who, coming up!"

Of course the only snow would be above 10,000 feet which is higher than almost any town in the viewing area. And of course Pikes Peak is 14,100 and is less than 20 miles from downtown, and it gets snow in the summer sometimes, so they could use that as an excuse to tease snow year-round.

That's why I don't listen to local tv news and use weatherunderground.com. They give you percentage chance of precipitation and the expected amount. So a forecast with 60% chance of precipitation, but only .01 inches expected is nothing to worry about.

And yet, I too would also like to see photos of September snow in the high country of Wyoming and Montana because it would be beautiful.
