Sure wish we could get some of that snow! Should have had my plow and blower out several times by now, but the west is again suffering drought, and fires. Too many years of change now for just “weather”, it is indeed meeting the climate change models, not good.
The power of words ain’t what they used to be. I think it was Louis Meyer (I’m happy to be proven wrong) who said that a verbal contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
You can tell your age by how you think about snowstorms.
When you’re young you pray for blizzards and look forward to “snow days” and school closures.
When you’re older, you pray the weatherman screwed up, – or, failing that, – at least that the snowplows won’t fill in your freshly shoveled driveway !
Except… For years now I have been making more accurate predictions for precipitation. My secret? Subtract two inches for snow and for rain from the Weather forecasters prediction. Almost every single time, can’t be 100% because mother nature and father winter do love there curve balls though.
The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, The Onion, and National Lampoon all featured fake news for decades, but they acknowledged right up front that it was phony, and everyone gleefully accepted it for the jokes.
The National Enquirer also featured made-up “news” and pretended it was real, but hardly anybody actually believed it, so the effect was the same.
The difference now is that there are people actually faking the news, pretending it’s real, and getting suckers to believe it.
In particular, there’s a guy in the White House whose disdain for the truth is so well documented that if he said the Sun rises in the east, I’d be out tomoro at dawn with a compass in my hand.
Leftist trying to to deny the (oh so) obvious (existence of fake news, just note cnn….) but failing to see the painful irony. That they’re using the claim of “fake news is fake news” to deny it, thereby proving it true!
I find it funny that even those who pretend that the sexes are equal, still portray women as the physically weaker sex by implication. It always seems like the man has to shovel the snow and take out the full garbage bags.

It doesn’t work for most Americans. Most as in popular vote most.

Honestly, it’s time to end this “fake news” genre. It’s really getting old.

Brother, it was old a long time ago, but, as with some pols, it will affect our lives for generations to come.

I’ve always said: “with all our technology, why can’t we get the snow to only land on the grass?”

Just remember, as soon as someone shouts “Fake News”, then those of us who can actually THINK know that it’s TRUE!!

Isn’t working for the Australians facing 117° either, but nor does a shovel help.

Makes me think of : Can’t see the forest through the trees.
Though now it seems it’s more: Refuses to see the forest through the trees.

Telling a real situation it is fake does not make the snowflakes go away – pretending the president is telling the truth does not make his lies right.

I love how AGW deniers think they are smarter than NASA and NOAA scientists. Exxon Mobil,Trump and the Kochs have certainly pegged ya’ll rubes well.
