Current round of "snow storms" = lead story
on national news. Being from Erie, PA, I find it particularly amusing how what we used to have as a NORMAL winter, in this day of entertaining sensationalism news reading, is a lead story of national interest.
Cities, schools, airports, shopping centers, etc. have been closing for years when there is the occasional whopper storm. A 6' snow storm hardly made the news back in the early 50's.....of course we were blessed as there was no such thing as the 24/7 scare media back then. When it snowed 6-12 inches we didn't hear that it was "dangerous".
Just another example of how the media will fluff up a subject to retain viewers.
Musta been a slow news day in addition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder what the folks in the Dakotas and upper Canada think about such hype.
