[BC] TV Weather

[Sid Schweiger]

>>How much longer, though, will the Public listen to these false cries
of 
"Wolf!"? Once they start ignoring it, is when the real trouble comes...
next time 
there really *is* a big storm, they'll brush it off... and then they
will be 
sorry.<<

That's why I mentioned the Blizzard of '78.  It's been 30 years since
then, and everyone still panics, aided and abetted by the TV weather
folks.  The attitude drilled home endlessly is "what if this IS the big
one?"

Sometimes you just want to turn off your TV, open the window, and yell
"THIS IS NEW ENGLAND!  WE GET SNOW HERE!  GET @#$%^&* OVER IT!!!!!!"
