Dont we live in wisconsin?

[euphoric1]

Yesterday was a busy phone day for me, panic over the "potential" of what the media was once again beating into peoples heads, which here ended up just being wet pavement. This morning on a certain cable provided news channel... " we are watching a much more major snow storm for Thursday" wait a minute? much more major? as compared to what? the snowmageddon we just had last night? uuuugh! have we again forgotten where we live? I just have to laugh and question when 1-3" became a major winter storm?
If this falls under no posting of weather reports please remove, but just trying to make a point of how ridiculous the news and media have become. I'll be at the grocery store getting my milk, bread and water before mother nature unleashes her self on Thursday.

News is no longer about reporting news, its now about creating news.....scoring ratings for revenue.....oh and keeping the sheeple in line.

I cant believe they haven't opened the trails!! What is our registration $$$ used for?? Why haven't they groomed yet?? What is my membership $$$ used for??

Is Sea and Snow good for my sled? Or should I use Klotz? I have a 2006 Yamaha Vector with a clutch kit and muffler delete, thanks.

The best thing that could happen for this country and the people that live in it is TO GET RID OF ALL 24 HOUR NEWS STATIONS!!! ALL OF THEM. IF I NEVER HEAR THE WORDS "BREAKING NEWS" EVER AGAIN IT WOULD BE TO SOON!! Sorry for the rant but seriously. Think if we had 24 hour feel good stories on the news. Instead of all this fake news BS from both sides!!!

Not at all, Climate Change is real. It has been changing for millennia, and it will continue to change, and humans are stupid for thinking they can stop the change.

Well i live in Illinois and I love how people rush to the grocery store for a winter storm. Never thought people couldn't survive on the rations at home for 24-36 hours....at most. Well, unless the beer stock is getting low.

Cmon....FIBs, end of story. People embrace the weather here in MN.

What really cracks me up is the people in the UP driving in the snow. In the Chicago suburbs, if there is a dusting, the salt trucks go out and people want to see the streets "running water." Everyone drives like they are scared crapless. Go up to the UP and in a blinding snowstorm the locals are driving like it's Talladega. I can't do it, but I'm super impressed by those that do!

And then there's this (click →) How to Turn Left in the UP (YootToob video, 27 seconds. Yee-Haaaa!

I'd say we got about 6" here at shop, a bit more where I live, could have really waited another month for this! uuugh!! a real hinderance for people in my industry, landscapers and farmers i'm sure. I want the snow.... just not yet, hope it melts off quickly for now, it can return after thanksgiving.

There is only one fake news channel out there. Think one big "F" for complete BS.

[old abe]

Whoa, oh no! Say it ain't so!

[Sandylake]

The media's job is to over exaggerate EVERYTHING! To place fear into everyone's thoughts. It's become rather RIDICULOUS.

This.

I recall a few years ago when this HUGE blizzard hit the east coast. That bald reporter from the Weather Channel was in New York covering the story. He was in a Antarctica style parka and was wearing snowshoes as he reported the storm live. As he showed how many feet deep the snow was trodding around in his snowshoes two people walked through the backdrop about 100 yards away just walking normally in a few inches of snow through the park.

Fake news abounds.

I really don't watch the news anymore. Not much I can do to change it. Being reactive works for me instead of wasting a bunch of time being proactive

This isn't too related but yet it is; I had the opportunity to bump into the infamous Brockway Mountain hermit a few times. One time he had a headache and we offered him some pain pills. He declined them. He said, "if I took them how would I know when my headache was really gone?"

You can't be serious. Give me a list of employees from the big "F" that have been fired for writing false stories (like has happened at the big "C"). And a list of stories that they have gotten completely wrong and had to correct later (or completely ignore that they were wrong like the big C has done) and let's compare that to the list of the other cable networks. Not even close. I'm guessing you still think our President is a Russian agent! LOL
