Its supposed to snow....Start panic mode NOW!!!

The weathermen are calling for snow tomorrow night into Friday. According to them, we might get 5-7 inches. This has been one of the top stories on the news for the past 2 days. Do the news people get some kind of sick pleasure out of making such a big deal out of this and the ensuing panic? All I've been hearing at work is "OMG, its going to snow." We live in Ohio people. It's been snowing here for centuries. Yes, it's a pain to have to clean off our cars and to shovel our sidewalks but its no reason to panic. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get much snow at all. They forcast a bunch of snow, people panic and we get nothing. We were supposed to get a couple of inches this weekend and I woke up to none. And what is it about snow (and rain for that matter) that makes normally good drivers turn into idiots. I will admit that I've never had to drive in snow very much (and my father would never teach me) but come on. Its called "SLOW DOWN." It seems pretty self explanatory to me. I hate driving during bad weather b/c of the other drivers, not the actual weather conditions.

My only complaint about the upcoming snow is that its supposed to come overnight. I love watching the snow. There's something calming about it. There's nothing better then cuddling up on the couch with a blanket (and my sexy monkey now that he's done with classes for the quarter) and watching the snow fall. It seems like all the good snowfalls happen overnight.

Oh well. Rant over.
