Snowzilla? Oh please.

Every stupid storm is now some gigantic catastrophe per all media. Even worse Weather Channel is naming snowstorms like hurricanes and some other outlets are starting to accept that.

I think that's the result of their being purchased by NBC to use as a propaganda tool. And it works! I've seen poorly educated youts post on the internet "they had to start naming these storms because they are so much stronger than before climate change".

I noticed that too. Also, the Weather Channel is starting to become more like a TV show. There’s reality shows of weather. They are entertainizing the weather.

The naming of the winter storms is ridiculous and I take no part in that nonsense.

I'm in Chelmsford, MA tonight and it's one degree and snowing. No big deal. It what normally happens around here in January. We might get 10 inches but it's so light I can push it off my driveway with a broom. I got the fireplace going and it's toasty warm here. I have a generator gassed up and ready to fire up just in case the lights go out.

I've lived in New England almost 50 years and never once has a storm kept me indoors for more than a couple days. All these morons watching the "special reports" on the TV, getting all alarmed and making panicked runs to the supermarket for milk and bread. I have enough food in my house to last at least a month and that's always been the case. Like I said, no storm, not even the blizzard of 1978, kept me snowbound more than a couple days. As for the current one, I'll be out and about in the morning.
