Re: "A dusting to an inch"

Concerning the weather forecast delivered on Saturday, Feb. 8 concerning Sunday, Feb. 9, these words were used: "A dusting to an inch." Please be advised that when you are using a word like "dusting," you should consult various dictionaries like Merriam-Webster. I have enclosed the URL below for a starting point for your research. 

After negotiating your way through the dictionary, you will find that it is a noun and means something like this: "a light application." Please be advised that four or five inches is not "a dusting." 

No thanks are required. I am always happy to help those with literacy issues.
