...I guess!
So, it's in the mid-40s last night during the late news following the Pro Bowl. Throughout most of the game, the local TV station had a graphic advising viewers about a Winter Storm Alert. It covers an area starting with the counties to our north and west. So, anyway, the game ends and the local talking heads start bobbing, the lead story being the Winter Storm. Among the advice being given is to hurry out and pick up some Ice Melt before the stores run out of it. Uh-huh...
Today's high is forecast to be around 70° for most points within a hundred miles of us. A little rain off and on today, with cold air arriving Tuesday. Temperatures are forecast to be below freezing a handful of hours Tuesday and Wednesday night. Back to 70° or higher by the end of the week. Sounds like a real serious Winter storm to me! NOT...
OK, so there's a potential for bridges to ice over in some areas. Anyone in the viewing area of that particular TV station will probably see the ice melt during the day, etc., etc., etc. No doubt, the northern, hilly area of Georgia will have some snow to deal with, but that's normal. It just amazes me now the talking heads can get so dramatic!
