Snow? Ohmigosh, Run for Your LIfe!

You know, I haven't spent a winter in New Hampshire in several years. But...this IS still New Hampshire, right?

As in, right next to Maine? As in, right under Canada??

Why the ruckus over this storm? I've been watching the local news, and the entire first 17 minutes of this 30 minute broadcast were ALL about the snow.

There are presidential candidates up here. There's a damn war on. And, um, hello! Have we already forgotten about Anna Nicole??

Oh, they just spent a whopping 2 minutes on other news, now they are back on the storm. Thank goodness, becuase otherwise we might forget that it's supposed to snow.

Like 10-12 inches of snow is a good-sized storm, sure. But do we really need the coverage they are describing for tomorrow? Special early edition of the morning show. Reporter blogs! Minute-by-minute updates of accumulations! Reporters on location at frantic grocery stores! Lookout!

Am I think only one who understands that snow is rather portable? People stock up on supplies like it's a damn concrete storm. Snow all over your car? Brush it off, shovel it away. Now, if concrete falls on your car, that would require a jackhammer. That's something to actually worry about.

Anyhow, I'd better go to bed, I'll need to be well-rested for this apparent apocalypse that's coming. Good lord.
