Weather Confusion

Blizzard...no blizzard...winter weather advisory...no winter weather advisory...what is going on here? The meteorologists couldn't make up their minds as to what type of weather we were actually going to get. On Tuesday we had a blizzard advisory, around 4PM that was called off, but it was possible we would still get snow and frigid temperatures. On the evening news, they said we should expect snow to start around 4-5AM Wednesday. As I headed out the door today at 6:20AM there was very light flurries. By 6:30AM there was near white out conditions on the highway!!! It then was snowing and blowing the entire day today accumulating 3-4 inches of new snow and temperatures dropped to single digits. Brrr...
