Who thinks the storm heading into the Eastern part of the US this weekend will be as big as they predict, or do you think it will be a nothingburger?
Anything to make people run to the store and get bread, milk and water.Semi nothingburger.
Media sensationalism makes $.
Besides, every reason under the sun for these evil mother****ers to frighten Americans.
They hate us, they hate Americans getting together, they hate Christianity, but love and worship the $ it generates.
The masses crave drama and the media - down to the meteorologists - helps supply it. I can't even count how many times I've heard someone say "blizzard" over the last couple days to maximize dramatic effect. If you've lived around here long enough, you know that it gets cold, it snows, sometimes both at once and sometimes a lot. Drink a stiff old fashioned to warm yourself, fire up the snowblower, and get to back to business as usual.
Right now, all the snowmobilers are salivating, the plow companies are drooling and the towing guys are loading up on energy drinks. Then watch us get 3" of slop. lol
Peggers naming convention, apparently....When did they start naming winter storms? This one is called Elliott. Why can't they ever give tough sounding names like Spike, Zane, Rocco, Diesel, Blade, Duke, Axel or something.
Looks like some cold temps and a mixture of rain, ice and snow depending on where one lives. Possibly up to two feet in some places but that's not really much to worry about.
Going be cold here too James. I saw 30-40's Sat and Sun in my area.Going down to 3 here tomorrow with windchills down to -10. **** that! At least I will be on my way to Florida.

In Wisconsin they were driving clicks by predicting 20". Reality is about 6" and -10F. In either case it's just regular winter weather.
