And yet Buffalo is having another Blizzard, schools & thurways are closed and several Erie County citirs and towns have driving bands and the blizzard is expected to get worse tonight and the next 36 hours
And the darn local channels talk about the weather and cut in all time. How am gonna not watch jeopardy again. Everybody has a damn cell phone now for the weather. My gosh you would think nobody knows how to handle the stuff.
And they tell us how to dress and make sure you get this and that.
I feel like Elvis might get a gun an shoot my TV especially those damn weather folks, except Maria.
Can’t wait for the local news that will talk from 5:00 To 6:30 about the weather. Should be discussed all night long about the snow. My gosh just stop will ya. It used to be the news, sports and weather. Not anymore it’s all damn weather here, wtf!
There was a time in up through the late 80s/early 90s when the sports segment actually came on BEFORE the weather segment during the 6pm newscasts on two of the three Buffalo locals. (4 and 7). I agree with an above poster that cutting into programming every ten minutes for weather updates is a bit excessive. A one minute briefing at the top of every hour is sufficient. At one point, this same information was carried by a simple crawler message running along the bottom of the screen. (which posed a problem on some of the older television sets that had rounded off corners on their screens.) I remember that because it was my nightly assignment to write down the winning lottery numbers (which were also shown by crawler bulletin then) for my mother while watching Growing Pains, MacGyver, and Who's the Boss? That's how it used to be back in the 70s and 80s. For catastrophic weather events like tornado outbreaks though, I would advocate breaking in with a full news update, but thankfully WNY very rarely sees major tornado outbreaks like Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Iowa.
Hope everyone in the area is OK. I lived through 62 winters and this comes with the territory. Best wishes everyone and stay warm.
