Snow Hype Overkill

What's that you say? A large-ish snow storm...In February?! In the NORTHEAST?!

Apparently, a blizzard is now "deadly"!

A "MONSTER" of mythical proportions!"Snowpocalypse"? "SNOMG"? Are you f-ing serious?!

Everyone Has Officially Gone Batshit at the Weather Channel

Guys. I know most of us hate our lives and need to find a diversion to quell the  misery in Upstate New York, but seriously? How many times in the past decade has there been a snowfall of over 12" in a two-day period? I don't care if it was a multi-state storm, just think about it: We get at least this much snow once each winter, typically multiple times. It's not the end of the world. We are not going to die in a cold, wintry snow-nado/nami. I'm genuinely sorry to tell you this, but life will go on. Spring will soon come (according to the groundhog), and then there will be furious FLOODING. Summer may bring gargantuan T-STORMS. Fall will bring a flurry of leaves, and possibly MORE flooding. Then it will all start over again.

So for now, let's just enjoy the fact that most of us had a snow day from work and/or school today. You can take a walk outside at night and there isn't a soul around. In addition, the snow actually looks kind of...well, pretty, sparkling in the street lights. As far as the weather goes, we are all going to be just fine.
