I caught some of this morning's TV news reports. It's funny how folks view 'bad weather.'
For example, in Madison we don't start to concern ourselves unless we hear the prediction of "blowing and drifting." The news that 2" to 4" of snow coming simply means I wear a jean jacket and fill my gas tank.
If we drop into single digit temperatures, I which over to a lined jean jacket. I have a hat in the truck if it gets below that.
Now, I heard Jay Leno once do a series of jokes about some intense rain that folks in Los Angeles was experiencing. He reported that traffic was backed up, people were skidding around and folks were almost in meltdown. From rain?
My inlaws live in Milwaukee. Not only do they get the storms, but they get "lake effect snow" on top of it. They usually opine that they might wait a bit on going to the grocery store to see how traffic gets. They don't cancel their plans, they simply delay them.
