Snow

I love that they didn't show Good Morning America so we can have live coverage about the snow storm we had. It was supposed to snow here about 4-6 inches, but we only got about 2. Last night I actually heard a weatherman say we will get between 1-12 inches! Way to cover your ass loser.

So this storm was kind of a dud, but today all morning we had to hear such breaking coverage like "So Cindy, when you stomp your foot into the snow does it have a film of ice on top?" or "I think I see the sun peeking out, I can't believe it". Bullshit.
Then they showed their website complete with cameras on a major highway, so "if there is a major accident you can see it from your home!" all said with a smile. I don't know about you, but first thing in the morning with my coffee, I love to see a nice life altering car accident.

Pure genius!

They wrapped that all up by telling the viewers to make sure to get a "warm coat on before going outside" uuummmm, thanks asshat, I thought it only snowed when it was in the upper 80s, and today I was going to wear a light camisole with no bra and short shorts.
I swear a fish could be a better news anchor person.

  1. Well out here on the West it is beaking news if it drizzles so I can relate to dumb weather people. Wish it would snow here- that would be cool. Have fun!

  3. We got 2 inches of dusty snow and they made it sound like we were getting a blizzard in KS.

    One of our news stations cracks me up by doing the "THREE DEGREE GUARENTEE" where if they're wrong by 3 degrees on guessing the high temp, they give $50 to charity and if they're right by 3 degrees they give $100 to charity. Shouldn't that be the other way around? LOL Stupid!
