Funny, ain’t it? Back then we had “bad weather” and now everything is either blamed Trump, Russia, or global warming.
And while I’d rather see warnings that turn out to be nothing, it does seem like every storm warning is somewhat exaggerated nowadays.
I think that there is so much news and entertainment available today that exaggeration and hyperbole is order of the day.
Just to get a few viewers they feel compelled to write their copy in such extreme terms the worst possible outcome of all possible forecast.
How long will it take before people are at the ‘boy who cried wolf’ point of ignoring weather forecast?
Naming winter storms has taken me to the point of distraction. They have just gone too far. The Blizzards of 1978 and 1979 didn’t need names they named themselves.
