Oh, my God. Winter storm Jayden is following close on the heals of the vast destruction of Winter Storm Indra (does anyone remember Indra?). What will it take for the tabloid Weather Channel to give us a break? It is becoming comical how they desperately grasp at anything in their quest for ratings. My advice to the producers: Give it a rest!!! You are looking more foolish every day.
All weather is now apocalyptic. Scared liberals are compliant liberals.
Are all snowfalls getting names now? what’s next, naming summer showers?
Eve of Destruction
Barry McGuire
The eastern world, it is explodin’,
Violence flarin’, bullets loadin’,
You’re old enough to kill but not for votin’,
You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’,
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin’,
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.
Don’t you understand, what I’m trying to say?
And can’t you feel the fears I’m feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there’s no running away,
There’ll be no one to save with the world in a grave,
Take a look around you, boy, it’s bound to scare you, boy,
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.
Yeah, my blood’s so mad, feels like coagulatin’,
I’m sittin’ here, just contemplatin’,
I can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
Handful of Senators don’t pass legislation,
And marches alone can’t bring integration,
When human respect is disintegratin’,
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin’,
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.
Think of all the hate there is in Red China!
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
But when your return, it’s the same old place,
The poundin’ of the drums, the pride and disgrace,
You can bury your dead, but don’t leave a trace,
Hate your next door neighbor, but don’t forget to say grace,
And you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
You don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.
No, no, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.

Yes it is crazy how they give names to snowstorms.
Next maybe they will give names to thunderstorms.
Then after that, give names to high and low pressure systems. And we should also name the polar vortex, as they seem fascinated with that phenomenon recently.
I blame the rich. Sitting on all that money and they won’t do anything about the weather.
I can’t remember watching the weather channel in 20 years.
Whatever it is, it has to be bigger, badder, scarier, more dangerous, more deadly, more expensive, faster, uglier and meaner than the last one or it just won’t get noticed.
These “winter storms” are what are usually called “cold fronts”
Or at least they were back in the time of sanity.

I’m a-feared of the upcoming winter storm Keith or, worse, winter storm Kevin.
Sandy? Sandy from the suburbs, is that you?
The last storm they were predicting 18-24 inches of snow in my area right up to the night before and the entire week in advance. We got maybe 4 inches. Yet they think anyone who doesnt believe they can predict the global temp 20 years in advance is a fool.
.....”These “winter storms” are what are usually called “cold fronts”......
Right!......it’s not like the ‘polar vortex’ is new..it was first described as early as 1853....but the weather channels beefed it up in 2012-2014 as a term to explain very cold temperatures and part of the hype about climate change.
We walked to school and heck it was only really cold if you went outside and your nose stuck together!
A buddy used to be program director for a local radio/tv station. When asked about why the weather is always predicted to be much worse than what happens, explained it this way. “The weather reports are the only reason must watch the local news/weather/sports. Dire weather predictions are how we make money.”
The end is near, sooner or later for all of us.
Is that a reference to a movie?
“Are all snowfalls getting names now? what’s next, naming summer showers?”
What will be interesting is when they start naming heat waves———all named after hookers and strippers.

Same thing happened here and the Weather Channel had pre-positioned at least 4 reporters, including Jim Cantore. They have to be drama queens or the weather junkies won’t watch.
