Why doesn't WGN 9 just make it one foot and get it over with scaring their 90+ year old viewers?

WGN doesnt control the amount of snowfall, thus when Tom told us it would snow 4-8 inches with isolated areas receiving upwards of 10 inches of snow accumulation….4, 8 and 10 inches would not equal out to a foot. Also, to say all around 'oh yeaaah, you'll all get about a foot of snow tomorrow no matter where you go!!!' is ridiculous and incredibly inaccurate considering the actual radius of the viewers varies. Tom Skilling is no liar.
