Winter Storm's A-comin

I'm sure that some folks are not going to believe this, but the actual thought of a snowfall with accumulation in the South is enough to make local television stations flash a winter storm warning across the tv screen continuously until either (a) the event occurs or (b) they're wrong again.

If (a) occurs, then you will hear incessently how they told you for days that this was coming because of their wonderful new technology. If (b) occurs, then you never hear another word about it.



From our snowfall on Wednesday, one local station keeps letting us know that thanks to their live cameras, they were the only station where you could actually watch the snowfall. It does make you wonder if the television folks know that there is a wonderful invention in houses called windows. With this invention, you can actually see outside, utilizing no electricity or clicker at all, and see what is happening. Imagine, watching snow falling from the sky from inside your nice, warm house. Amazing.
