Those in the Atlanta area for many years probably recall SnowJam '82. That time, the weather forecast called for the possibility of a little snow - no accumulation, etc. Well, it dropped buckets - about 4 or 5" in total. It trapped people downtown and all around the metro area. Everyone was blaming the state and local govt officials then as well. Just the next year, the forecasters called for the possibility of a little snow. Well -this time, they weren't going to be caught off guard - the government closed all offices, schools were cancelled, etc. Guess what? No snow! It hit the fan again -this time for over-reacting. This was affectionately called SnowSham!
