Credit where credit is due
Yesterday, I took shots at some local forecasters who made some statements about Thursday's snow that they probably wish they could take back.

A Texas official had proposed a bill that "would make it a very minor crime (misdemeanor) to call yourself a meteorologist unless you meet specific academic requirements included in the bill" according to this Waco Tribune story. However, after a flurry of complaints from local weathercasters, the bill is no longer a priority according to reports.
