From the winter storm warning issued for southern Wisconsin:
THIS WILL BE THE FIRST MAJOR WINTER STORM FOR WISCONSIN… AND WILL LIKELY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON SOCIETY. MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS CLOSELY ON THIS DEVELOPING WINTER STORM… AND BE READY TO DELAY OR ALTER TRAVEL PLANS TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
A significant impact on society? Huh? Makes me think of riots, martial law, dogs and cats living together… The number of babies born in September 2010 will probably go up, though.
Wooo! September represent!
It snowed last tuesday in Toronto. Environment Canada pushed data that if simply interpreted said “hey, the roads will be slick and easily iced” the “Weather Network” and the local news shows on the national networks each declared “Fire and Brimstone raining down from the skies, rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave, human sacrifice, dogs and cats … living together: Mass Hysteria!”
I’ll take straight data, a look at the CRWS jetstream maps and a glance out the window thank-you very much.
