"Momma Said There'd Be Days Like This..."

Hey, it's what we're paid to do, going live through special weather events...I know that, kickin' some weather butt, no matter what it takes... but it is a tall order to fill when it happens, especially with short-staffing. Yesterday was NOT a major winter event by any stretch...more of a 'nuisance' situation where it was just messy enough to cause some travel woes. Had to be covered, nonetheless. When I found this captioned picture below I couldn't help but "edit" it just a tad....

Giving live weather forecasts 6 times an hour for 6 hours is a 'bear' on the ol' vocal chords, and, honestly, you begin to hate hearing your own words because after so long they are beginning to bore YOU through their droning repititions. The answer? Therapy. Lots of Therapy...

"Hey, Wedduhman, just take a deep breath and keep thinking
"insurance and benefits, insurance and benefits, insurance and benefits..."

And so we conclude another bout with wintry weather, the first of many to come, I'm sure...and as early as Sunday night. The active southerly branch of the jet stream is now playing constant 'footsies' with the polar jet dipping well south through the U.S., keeping us on our weather toes in a big way. Ah, 'tis winter, no less....bring it on! Just try to have it hit on Mondays and Tuesdays, could ya, please? That way we don't have to call Monte and Tara in on their days off...

"Told ya I was gonna puke..."
