Did I miss something in geography class or has the middle of the US dropped off the map? If I were living in LA, Chicago, New York or Miami I could get Weather Channel updates every 15 minutes. But if you live in Great Falls, Cheyenne, Scott's Bluff, or Mandan you are SOL. In fact, if any of these places were buried in 10 feet of snow overnight and the temperature was -50 you wouldn't even be a blip on the Weather Channel screen.
Here in Montana we have been sub zero for several days now, we're talking -30 and so forth. Whiteout blizzard conditions and several inches of snow last Saturday night. Today, the Weather Channel was crowing about a measly skiff of snow that sounded like it was bringing the Great Lake states to its knees. What the hell? Come out here and blast through a few 3 or 4 foot snow drifts on your way to work, or use a flamethrower to warm your truck up. Or your dog is clinging so tight to you when you leave in the morning that your neighbor thinks you got a new fur coat.
Hello, Weather Channel, update your map! There is more to this country than the flipping coastlines.
