State of...Winter

I need to get something off my chest...but before I do, I should mention that I grew up up in Canada so I totally understand that I may be a little biased. Here goes.

This is a snow storm...


And so is this...


And this...


But people please, for the love of God, don't go on and on about how this is a "Snow Storm":


Forecasting for 3/4 of an inch of snow does NOT constitute a "storm". I might, MIGHT, understand if I still lived in Georgia or Florida. But I live in the northeast. We should be used to snow flakes by now.

Maybe Gov Rendell is right? Have we become a nation of "wussies"? Let's get rid of the drama and stop calling a light dusting of snow a "STORM". At least that's a start.

Cheers,
