I can hardly breath with the thrill of it all.

HAHAHAHAH!!!!! No kidding. It's a bad storm, but the level of hyperbole by the media is laughable.

I remember as a kid when I lived in Utah that once we got about 3 feet of snow over the Easter weekend, on top of what was already there. Went to school on Monday.

I also remember when I was in Michigan and we had sub zero temperatures. Still went to school.

Yes. It's a bad storm. Be careful. Don't take chances. But "snowpocalypse"? Please!!!

People are getting wimpy.

You know what I'd like to see? If every smart phone suddenly stopped working for 72 hours. THAT would be entertaining to watch. The panic. The riots in the streets. The wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Not really, but you get my point.
