Since when is an expected 4 inches of snow “heavy”? These Minnesota meteorologists need to start reporting the facts and stop sensationalizing weather for ratings purposes.

I suppose it could mean the snow was “heavy” in nature, meaning lots of moisture in it, which is difficult to plow and shovel.

I agree Jason. That last batch of snow was pretty darn heavy, to say the least.

theres a difference between the wordings: a heavy bombardment of snow

and

“has already been bombarded with heavy snow and will see a total snowfall of around 4 inches”

meaning the snow is heavy, or wet and thick, not powdery.

reading comprehension wins again.

Any and all news broadcasting or weather programs are a total sensationalization of whatever they are covering, looking for ratings and the $$ they can bring in, nothing else, it is not about the truth anylonger—just a story or super story–prime example is the Weather Channel—total bunch of bunk they put out anymore, sensationaliztion at the highest level—-

You would think by now and after all the complaints about sensationaliztion of the weather reports that they would get it..just goes to show you that viewers comments are not being read and that the big shots at the top don’t care! For real time weather I turn to channel 17.

Where’s Red Ring?

Sensationalism sells. The Weather channel reports snow accumulations as “1/2 foot” rather than six inches. Snow measured in feet sounds more dramatic than the same snow measured in inches.

North of Wochester

People,
I can remember when 6 inches of snow was forecast as partly cloudy.

More trash from WCCO. More lying, sensationalism and exaggeration. Shelby is the queen of exaggeration and opinion not news. They should all retire.

North East of Cass Lake we have 8 inches of the fluffy stuff today – not the 4 inches they say for Cass Lake.

The Weather Channel thinks MN is a suburb of Siberia. I turn on my scanner to the weather band and get a good report from people with a Norvegian accent, ya know.

Is that all people do anymore is complain and argue?!?! Find something better to do with your time.

Thanks!
