THAT is a funny characterization of reality...
I am forever amazed/disappointed at how we allow the news to amp up our fears over naturally occurring weather cycles. They can't just tell you what is happening - they have to excite you, and create a "weather event" (their phrase..
)
I had to tell my wife this morning. It is WINTER...We live in the MOUNTAINS. WHY is the expectation of 3-7 inches of snow SUCH a big deal?
It is analogous to someone living in the desert getting all twitterpated ( my word..not theirs
) because the temperature will get in the 90's during Summer!!!!
