FOR ONCE, THEY GOT IT RIGHT

THREE CHEERS for the weather forecasters! They were right on every count - deep snow, blowing snow, wind and high drifts. They said a killer storm. We never had a better forecast.

Think how bad it might have been without warning. I doubted the predictions of 1 to 2 feet, but outside my window was proof.

Glad we listened when they said to stock up on provisions. They really saved lives with their good advice. BOWEN L. SHRADER ROANOKE
