Winter Wonderland

So, we're getting socked with our first winter storm of the year. It's slippery and windy and snowy and gross. I went to weather.com to see the latest, so obviously I'm interested and/or concerned about road conditions and travel tomorrow.

But I have to say, this totally cracked me up.

On weather.com's home page:

Vicious winter storm blasts the Midwest

Parts of the Midwest are being ravaged by an December blizzard while the Northeast looks at a wintry mess.

Then, when you enter your zip code, it must do a weather-coding translation based on where you live. Because St. Paul's summary is this:


Light Snow

17°F
Feels Like
2°F

Muaaaaaahahahahahahaa! For the rest of the world it's ravaging blizzards, but for we St. Paulites, it's just a little light snow. Midwestern modesty kicking in. Or bragging rights? Or stupidity for continuing to live here? You decide.
