Years ago there were fewer commuters, cars weren't built with plastic and fiberglass and we had studded tires. Today I drive a plastic toy and appreciate knowing when I have to wake up an hour earlier so I can take my "winter" route to work, My winter route involves avoiding all major hills.

Weather...WEATHER ladies, stay on track !

???? are u a Republican???? Democrats r used to living within their means --- More government spending happens when Republicans rule the White House ---

gwendt: Maybe you can get a loan from Obama if you want to move so bad.

to them complainers and whiners as to the accuracy of the weatherman----he is forecasting for a much bigger area than what your body is taking up -----life is NOT black and white ------there is a lot of gray area in life-----------only Repubicans with all their money can afford to move ---------the rest of us have to make do with what we got and live with the conditions we are in

well said doglover

lions and tigers and bears oh my...

Hint: I agree, unfortunately when we were kids our society was not the "sue happy" community it is today. School districts, both city and rural, get caught between a rock and a hard place. They get a mass of people calling & complaining when they do call a snow day. They get the same thing when they don't. If people went about their business (more slowly in the winter) like they did when we were kids and accepted the fact that they are CHOOSING to live in any area of the country where it snows, then you wouldn't see as much of a big deal being made about a typical 5-6 inch snowfall.

Dwight...it just gets my shorts in a bundle that these weather people get paid for being wrong ninety percent of the time. The ten percent of the time that they call it right, we're suppose to get down on our knees and sing praises ?Ugh ! If they got paid for being right they would be on welfare.

I agree jvlhomeowner. I posted something like this the other day. When I was a kid a 5 inch snowfall was just another day. Buses made it just fine. Now it is the end of life as we know it when a 3 to 6 inch snowfall comes. These weren't even advisories when I was a kid now they are winter storm warnings. Some schools call off before the snow even begins.

I think, (and agree) with what some of the posters are saying- Lately the Weather Service has become too "over cautious" in their alerts. Time will come when the majority will ignore them, and then something really hazardous will happen....
A snowfall of 1-3 inches triggers a "winter weather advisory"...when I was a kid that was called "light snow". Today's forecast is not hazardous - it is just normal weather for this time of year.

Whine much, vnvet?

Yeah, and if you believe everything the weatherman says, I have a bridge I'd like to sell ya ! Seven day forecasts, what a joke. They couldn't predict the sun to shine while wearing sunglasses !

Maybe the weather is so unpredictable like obama ,the weatherman just wants to keep his word about transparency??

Be careful going outside, the sidewalks are kind of slippery 8 a.m.

"Freezing rain" changing to "rain"

"You don't need a weather man to tell witch way the wind blows." John Belushi said it on the National Lampoon "Lemmings" album. I don't think he was the first to say it, but he said it on the album(1973).

yap yap yap the weather man is never wrong just look outside and see, you get what is out there enjoy the liquid sunshine, if you want nice weather move to south to fla. you dont need a weather man to tell witch way the wind blows who said that bd?

I do like to know ahead of time if roads will be icy or lot of snow coming in. So I like reading the weather forecasts.

You know, some people actually like to know beforehand that this is going to happen. That's why there is weather forecasting. If you don't want to know, you are free not to click on these links. Nobody held a gun to your head and forced to you read this story.

As the weatherman says, we are all going to die over the next three days. Fog will get into our lungs. Snow will melt. Warm air will flow. Abandon all hope. I am amused how the weathermen shout apocalypse over every snowflake or raindrop these days. Beware! Weather is coming!! Ha, ha.
