Ah the sarcasm... but no, the editors in the production meetings need to be held accountable and we, the viewers, need to illustrate our disapproval by not buying in to the hysteria, writing the news stations and not watching their coverage. This is so ridiculous. I'm tellin you, it's getting worse.
One of the field meteorologists at ABC11 was reporting on a puddle! A friggin puddle... saying so authoritatively, "the puddle has increased in size tremendously since we last checked!"

WTF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They do no other tv journalism and have time to fill to sell psoriasis and constipation remedies.
But, But "Snowpockalypse" & Snowmegeddeon and don't forget my favorite; BOMB CYCLONE ! Its all hype. Being a weather reporter must be a boring job.

Yesterday afternoon they raised the ice amounts significantly just in time for schools to make their calls, and then shortly after the forecast was changed to nearly no ice in Wake.
I'm sure it was just coincidence, but it's frustrating.
