Winter in the forecast?

We don't want to make too big a deal over the use of the word "snow" in the National Weather forecast, but there it is again. For Monday, "a chance of rain and snow showers before noon, then a chance of rain showers. Cloudy, with a high near 50." Okay, that's not going to bring much: "new snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible, " says the weather service. But still, we're talking about "snow." Monday night will be "blustery," with a 30 percent chance of snow showers and low in town of 26! It warms up, a little, through the week, but just keep focusing on those four letters s-n-o-w.
