Scott, Same newscasters here in Chicago. 'OMG we're gonna have a big winter storm. Tomorrow we might have 2 or 3 inches of snow! Be prepared for bad driving conditions!!!'
Well what hell, we get 2 or 3 inch snowfalls at least twice a month all winter. It's not a big deal unless it's gonna be 12 inches or an inch of ice under the snow. Why we've even had 30 inch snowfalls. (Now that is overwhelming.) But they still sound the alarm at any piddling little storm! Regards, Bob S.
