re: #338 Gus 802

Everytime they predict snow my Safeway always turned into a mad rush scene. People thinking that they’re going to be snowed in for the next couple of days or something. I’ve done it too only to have it snow that night and then the day after it’s like I said above, 50 degrees and sunny.

I know… happens all the time. I’m not sure of the mentality that has developed over weather events. It’s like it’s some sort of “extreme” sport. Really, I think all the hype that weather gets on channels like “The Weather Channel” and the reality shows about chasing storms and chasing tornados and chasing this and that, it’s all sort of turned a lot of people into some Pavlovian puppy, responding to every little inconvenience like the end of the world was coming.

We’ve elevated normal everyday incidences into code red ville.
