I do believe the weather is a simple example of all the rest of the news and how reported.

In my humble opinion.

I understand your skepticism but it does appear to be a winter storm coupled with level one tornadoes and it is widespread in the upper middle west and across the map. I don't like their use of the word "bomb" and I think it was first used last year. Early spring is the time for the most tornados in the very place they are happening, but it usually follows a very warm day.
