I have to tell you that I am REALLY sick of the media hype over the weather. I guess it’s an easy story for the media not requiring any real reporting. Yesterday Fox reported that Lancaster had gotten 13″ of snow. Ummm, where? I’m guessing they found the biggest drift they could and measured it. It looked a lot closer to 4 inches to me. It always seems that they need to “enhance” the actual weather. They love the “wind chill” gimmick. Wind chill is the effect of the combination of wind and cold on bare skin. If you are wearing clothes wind chill does not apply. (Safety tip: CFG does recommend wearing clothes outside in the Winter). Similarly it is the effect on skin, nothing else. Wind chill has no effect on cars.
Wouldn’t it be nice to just hear the weather forecast without the hype? Give us the real facts and be done with it.
