Snowband

This morning on the Weather Channel, one of the weatherpeople said something like, "We've been showing you all those snowy and bitterly cold cities to show you the extreme weather going on right now.  I'm sure some of you are tired of seeing the cold weather.  Let's go to Phoenix!"

 

They then show the guy in Phoenix where it is 53 degrees early in the morning and he's going on about how warm it is, and how he was playing golf and called his family up in Michigan, etc, etc, etc.  And then they decide to do a split screen and while the guy in Phoenix is talking about how warm it is, they show Parish, NY on the other screen and how it's getting buried in the snow.  All the while if you're just listening, you're hearing about how warm it is and how great it is that it's warm and how people are going to Phoenix on trips because it's warm... and those poor people stuck in the NY snowband can't get out and go anywhere because they've had like 100 inches of snow!  Mean, mean, mean....

 

I suppose it could have been worse.  They could have had a correspondent lounging on the beach under a palm tree in San Juan.  It could have been worse.  Sigh.  I could go for a nice trip to the beach in San Juan right now...
