Don't you like the new Impact statements? This is something new the National Weather Service is trying out. According to a local meteorologist, they are trying these to help make people understand just how dangerous the storms are, AND to scare the bejeezus out of you so that you will take cover. He thinks the statements are little over stated..

Its the clutz's own fault!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For years the media has ramped up and ramped up the end of the world predictions for a measley 2 to 4 inch snow storm. Any think over 4" is certain death to listen to the media.

Now in order for folks to listen to their chicken little forecasts they've had to ramp up the end of the world predictions another few notches. There isn't much farther they can go.
