US gets snow, declares state of Emergency

Sensationalism sells advertising space. Most news agencies, especially the successful ones, have the first priority of making money, not in keeping you informed. If anything, they have reasons to not report quite a few things that would distress the corporations that buy advertisement space or could get politicians to revoke their press pass so that there is a line they usually won't cross (or the story gets crushed fast if they do).

THIS is how you clear snow… like 4 feet of it.

In Northern Ontario, we call this "WHY THE HELL ARE THE PLOWS EVEN OUT? THERE'S LESS THAN 20CM OF SNOW!!!".

What is really annoying me is the way these weather events are reported.

It's a record breaking heatwave. It is the worse flooding in history. The cold snap is the worst ever to have impacted USA.

Compared to what?????

In any given summer, there will be several spots that break temperature records when a high-pressure cell floats in.

If they don't break all-time records, it's likely that they'll break 5-year, 10-, or 20-year records.

You don't hear much about record breaking low temperatures, though...
