According to Mosaic Mom, the situation is usually not as bad as the "heads" make it out to be.
Mobilebabe now lives in the land of snow. The "heads" find snow just as exciting as hurricanes...or at least they try to.
Take the storm in Denver. Yes, the first was a problem...they sometimes are. The second was not nearly as bad...unless you asked the "heads". I guess they are paid to try.
If you want to know how bad the weather really is, ask someone who lives where it's happening. Snow here is like rain. Only occasionally is it anything to worry about.

Other than that...it sure is gorgeous when the sun shines on it.
