Nah. If I’d have used it that way, it would have been, “It’s, like, winter in here.” Alternatively, I could have said, “It feels like winter in here.”

What gets to me is professional broadcasters phrasing their statements as if they were a question: It’s like winter in here? And there’s a new storm coming in from the northwest? It should hit us overnight?

The voice goes up at the end of the sentence.

Got any 7’s?

Nobody’s sure of anything anymore since there’s no reality. So there can’t be statements. There can only be questions.
