Talking heads bla bla bla

It amazes me, August,
How the media senationalizes the weather. Spewing their dire predictions of the severity and then naming... snow storms? Who the heck are they trying to scare and why? New Englanders see this every year. It's like... normal. I mean, it's nice to get the heads up on approaching weather.
But sending talking heads out to report live? Then act like they've never seen it before? I haven't even looked outside yet.
Even Hawaiians see snow...at the top of a volcano. Granted, not many of them hang out up there to watch it fall.
I once met a TAC sergeant at Fort Lost In The Woods who was from Hawaii. He told us of one of his cousins coming through that station who woke everybody up to see some newly fallen snow outside. His excitement ended after he finished shoveling.

I refuse to break my back to shovel it. Nature put it there and she can take it away!
