Bizarre

This winter the weather has been nothing short of bizarre.  The good kind of bizarre.  While Midland, Texas digs out of another snowfall, KC and many cities in the north and west have recorded little to no snow.  Storm after storm have hit the southern US, while much of the rest of the nation has been warm and dry.

The only thing more bizarre than the weather has been the weathermen.  Last Wednesday evening, the KC area was brushed by a small winter storm that hit St Louis and Chicago with quite a bit of snow.  The local weathermen did not predict any significant snow accumulation for KC.  Regardless, during the 10:00 PM news, they had colleagues stationed across KC reporting on the flurries that were just beginning.

The next part I just couldn't make up.  One meteorologist was doing a live shot from the parking lot of the local station with a yard stick in his hand measuring the snowfall. The quote was "Yes, Krista, it looks like we have about a tenth of an inch of snow".  It really is getting bizarre.  In the spring we see live reports of it raining.  Now, a dusting of snow get a live shot.  Real BREAKING NEWS!
