Well...the Pineapple Express can look pretty impressive on Doppler radar. And when you’re at ground zero, and have 100+ foot trees, and steep hills all around town, it warrants attention.

True enough! Just making an observation of the use of language. Instead of "it's raining", we now have a "rain event". Instead of a "snowstorm" or "an arctic cold front moving in" we have a "polar vortex" ... ooohhh, that's far more scary.

Not diminishing in any way what's been going on out here (particularly in Placer County where I am) since Christmas, I just find this "hyper language" a bit amusing. Cheers!
