HAHA! News people kill me. Reminds me of this character that George Carlin used to do, Al Sleet, the Hippy-Dippy Weatherman. As you can imagine, Al was always baked. He'd say, "Forecast for tonight: DARK! Followed by continued darkness throughout the evening, turning to scattered light in the morning."
Oh, man, I just turned on the news and there was a dude standing out in the snow and saying, "The thing about this snow is that it's light." And he picked up a handful. "See, it's very light." Yeah, dude, that shows me a lot.
the absolute BEST is when they're actually reporting live in the weather. When its windy and rainy, thats the best. Shit -- when its windy and ANYTHING, its the best. Hair blowing everywhere, trying not stand as stiff as possible so they don't blow over, talkin about "its not safe to be outside..so stay in!".
