When did the weather, or potential for bad weather, become headline news!?!?

The lamestream media will do anything to keep all eyes on them. For shame!

Another weather pet peeve - wind chill. Let's not sensationalize the weather. Try - it's cold AND windy too. I'll give you feels like - right in the kisser!

lol, I'm a weather lover myself. You might put me in a bad category if you saw how much I have been following the storm. ;)

It's a big ice-maker, but nothing historic. Still, lots of people in the U.S. will be affected in some way by the time it is over.

There's supposedly a scientific basis for wind chill. The 'official' wind chill table was updated just a couple years ago to be more accurate. There's no arguing the fact that, if you expose bare skin to X degrees with wind averaging Y MPH, it'll take the same amount of time for frostbite to occur as if it had been Z degrees with no wind. The only argument is with the numbers. The phenomenon is real.

If you've ever had frostbite, you know it's serious business. Don't make me post pictures. :-)
