Snowstorm #4

Well boys & girls,...here comes the white stuff again.
Today's snowfall marks the fourth time since Christmas.
North Texas is suppose to receive somewhere between
6 to 14 inches of the stuff. Maybe it is just me, but did you
ever notice how snowstorms, tornadoes, and heavy rain
in the midwest or south are never treated with the same
importance as anything that happens in the New York,
Washington, or Philadelphia areas?? Yesterday the CBS
Evening News dedicated the first eleven minutes of the
newscast to the heavy snow in Philly and DC. I believe
that is the same snowstorm that made its way across
New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, the Carolinas,
and Virginia before reaching the eastern seaboard. The
snowstorm maybe rated a 15 second voice-over-video
about those states, but now that it's over NYC, DC, and
Philly it has become nationally important. The story had
it that businesses and government offices had to close
due to the heavy snowfall. I don't recall any farms, stores,
or government buildings that closed in other states when
the storm moved through. That is my gripe with the
national media; it is only important when it applies to them
or their home base. I sympathize with the plight of the
eastern seaboard, but they are on the end of the same
storm other states had to deal with. Attention CBS, NBC,
ABC, CNN, and Fox News...the storm we are putting up
with today will be on top of you by Saturday.. Deal with it!
