Ok, so I have a couple people interested in my negative attitude towards east coast winters and the way media handles them. Let's start off by these observations:
In almost every winter, or every other winter, the east coast averages 2+ Nor' Easters a winter. In every winter, the media (such as accuweather, weather channel and CNN)start their headlines, the same, every single time..either as "Historic Nor' Easter on the way" or Blizzard. The thing that really bugs me is, you can't have a historic Nor’ Easter every single time you get one. The east coast has had over hundreds and hundreds of these events and the ones in the 1800's would beat any of these Nor’ Easters today, any day!
Now, I understand the human value, and understand these storms..historic or not are major problems and cause deaths and injuries every year. But please stop considering these storms every single time; to be that, of historic, unless it really is a historic event. Things you haven’t ever seen or seen in the 1800's, that would be historic in my eyes.
Media needs to stop freaking people out every time a Nor' Easter comes through, regions should have emergency systems and equipment systems implemented to handle such events...more so than Oregon would ever need to. You guys get these every year, so suck it up and handle it like our forefathers did. They will continue to happen, and to see a Historic event in a Nor' Easter is more rare than the Blazers winning the NBA Championship. Ok that may have been a bit over exaggerated, but you get the point. Take care!
My name is Grant LeBlanc and I am the creator of McMinnville Weather.com. I like to give my opinions on the current weather or anything that catches my eye and so I will post it all here. I will also post any project related updates and budget related updates periodically.
