What makes me nuts is the tv news putting some poor reporter outside in this weather just to tell us its cold outside. One station had a reporter drop an egg into the snow to demonstrate how fast the egg could freeze. Are people really that stupid they wouldn't know how cold it is without all this nonsense?

Sadly, I think so. I regularly see folks walking to or from their cars with shorts and t-shirts on when it's practically freezing outside.

I always think to myself: now what will happen to that moron if he winds up in some out of the way place and his car won't start? Or, he locks himself out of his car? Or he runs off the road in the dark? The idiot's going to freeze to death.
