Ok, Environment Canada and the Weather Network and all the local media outlets are conspiring to scare the bejeezus out of everyone with the upcoming weekend's forecast. Anywhere from 5-50cm of snow, wind, "storm that will make you re-think the word 'storm', " plagues of locusts, fire and brimstone... you get the idea.
Now, I admit that I am tired of winter and not a fan of blizzard-y type weather. HOWEVER - they've been tracking and "warning" about this storm for 2-3 days (since the last one, actually), and none of the numbers add up, or even come close to agreeing. It's like they're trying to cause a panic, but the kicker is THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW! Frustrating, scary, annoying - pick your negative adjective. I'm tired of it. Yes, I will pick up extra food on the way home tonight so that Peter has a full lunchbox for his overnight shift (stopping at a drive-through won't be an option, I suspect). Yes, the pot-luck of birfday goodness is being postponed a week for collective safety. However - I am not going to be panicked. I'm going to knit, and game, and cook, and blog, and watch TV like any other weekend. And I'm NOT watching the Weather Network. Phooey on them.
