I don't know about you, but I am getting really tired of all the weather hype we get from the Weather Channel and other weather sources these days.
There was a good article in the Feb. 28th Northwest Florida Daily News yesterday called "Snowpocalypse to snowicane: Hype reigns in winter" by AP.
"The snowmenclature smackdown among meteorologists started with 'snowmegeddon' and 'snowpocalypse.' When the latest snow event--laden with flakes and whipped by heavy winds--... (came) the folks at Accu-Weather Inc. warned of a coming 'snowicane.'"
These weather forecasters live for the storm. I'm sure impending weather calamities are a huge boost to viewership and do they EVER PUSH IT to the max. And they seem best at worst-case scenarios, always, of course, saying that "this might happen."
I know people, including Liz, who are always checking on what the weather is going to be. I will pay some attention to it, then stick my head outside to determine if they are right or not.
You never know when to believe the hype or not.
