That's how I always see this. "Snow! Tomorrow! How much? Will the schools close? Keep it LOCKED here on Channel 13 to find out all the details! OR YOUR FAMILY COULD DIE!!!"<br /><br />I know that they want to use that phrasing...<br /><br />Here in Cleveland, we get regular crawlers on top or bottom of the screens showing weather advisories... and if there's a CHANCE of really bad weather, the weather people will break in on TV shows (but not on commercials! God forbid we lose revenue just for public safety!!!)<br /><br />And warning Clevelanders about a few inches of snow is the same as warning people in Phoenix or Las Vegas that the temperatures are going to be pushing near 100 today. Yeah, thanks for the heads up, but we KNOW how to handle it...<br /><br />Bur they're gunning for us. If we don't watch THAT SPECIFIC CHANNEL, then we could miss an announcement that it's snowing! LIVES ARE AT STAKE!!!<br /><br />I remain,<br /> Sincerely (if not amused),<br />Eric L. Sofer<br />The Bad Clown<br />x<]:o){ELShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08227481611148130555noreply@blogger.com
