what is it with weathermen always being shocked in New England.We have four seasons, Summer is hot and dry, winter is cold and snowy, spring is wet, and fall makes pretty colors.
Write.
It.
Down.
Every time snow comes towards the state of Massachusetts, all the weathermen start to freak out about how the roads will be dangerous, how to check on your elderly neighbors in the cold, and how you need to take frequent breaks while shoveling. They're always so surprised at the number of small snow storms we have, we have small snow storms (1-5 inches) at LEAST once a week, large storms (6-12 inches) once or twice a month, and at least one hugee 12+ inch total snowfall storm.
How is this really so surprising? These Wally Weathermen urge us to hoard food, steal gas, and store 5 billion gallons of water in our basements over less than knee height of snow. As if the snow won't be gone in a few days at most, yet people still buy a month's worth of groceries the night before a large storm is expected.
This past snowstorm on Saturday, Sunday and Monday was a huge flop. We got 20" of snow here in central MA, yet there was still a snow emergency, and on monday almost every school except six in the STATE were closed, mine was one of the ones open. I can understand people on the south shore and the cape closing, as they got a crapload of snow, but where I was the snow was cleaned up on sunday night, there was no need for all of these schools to close.
Dont get me wrong, I love school cancellations, but it pisses me off how everyone freaks out over a snowstorm that happens at least once a year. People who live here should know it, but they have some sort of an excuse to not know how the hell the weather is in their area, but Wally Weatherman has no excuse to be a fucking idiot about his FIELD OF SPECIALTY.
Then in summer, it always gets hot, with a few days over 90, most days in the upper eighties. and yet they are always so surprised at these heat spells. We are encouraged to check on our neighbors once again to make sure they havent sweated themselves to death, or aren't being raped by those damn ninjas again, and if they are then you have to hire a pirate to go kick its ass. We are always urged tonot use water near the end of summer because of some severe drought. My lord. You really mean for us to beleive that 2 months of hot weather could EVAPORATE WATER!?!? omglolzors! I never would have guessed.
Don't even get me started on that "doot doot doot" that comes up at the bottom of the screen...
I hear it and I'm just yelling between the beeps.
DOOT DOOT oh crap, kids get to the basement DOOT DOOT tornado? DOOT DOOT flood? DOOT DOOT JEHOVSA WITNESS IN THE AREA WHATS GOING ON!?!?

I hate how, during these big snowstorms, the top story on the news is always "Snow." How is a snowstorm top-story-worthy? It's so stupid.

Every time there is a snow flurry in New England, all the wetharmen freak, so they scare all the people into the supermarkets. The same storm hit in SW CT, and there was about three inches of snow. We got a 90-minute delay for a storm that hit on Saturday (for us, I don't know about you.) All the cheap instant canned food was gone from the supermarket.
