I haven't really had the TV news on except for a little bit. But I have been watching the news online during the day. When we had the so called polar vortex a couple of weeks ago, they cancelled school and made a huge general fuss about it. It was all over the news.

Now, it's snowing.

Tomorrow it's supposed to be just as cold as a couple of weeks ago. Where's all the panic? The mentions of freezing to death in 10 minutes??? Does all that not still apply?

When it was 55° yesterday and I was at the carwash, the news radio was talking about how you should turn off the hoses and winterize the sprinkler system. Wait, what? If you didn't do it 2 weeks ago, you don't have a sprinkler system anymore.

WTH?
