[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a real problem with  evey single aspect of the media is hyping everything up and making people panic. Its making people crazy at this point. Think about how much money was made when people ran out the stores for all the extras they don't usually buy like someone said all the hot chocolate was gone and baking items. This is ots intent and they have no issues bsing people. How do you go from 26 inch to 12 inches to 2? I was looking at the radar last night saying there is no way thats 8-12 inches of snow when it went straight to pink after a few hours that was sleet. Im over all of it and thrilled I didn't run to the store for bs.[/quote]

Because you are believing all the wrong media. No one I know panicked and went shopping for more than their usual. I shopped days before the event and all the stores were fully stocked. No one was seriously predicting more than a foot of snow. In the DC area, we all got more than 2 inches. Bethesda's official measurement was 5.5 inches, plus sleet. There were hours of sleet. Some forecasting models computed all the sleet as snow, which is why some totals were higher than what we got.

You've only got your own stupidity to blame. Next time check with Capital Weather Gang, or some other experienced group and be more discriminatory about your media consumption.

Capital Weather Gang? Yeah, I’m not sure the bloggers turned hypemasters are the voice of reason in any of this.[/quote]
