It happens all the time.

The weather changes dramatically and you get some moron with nothing better to say than “Derp, it IS Michigan!”

Then everyone around said doofus laughs, slaps each others’ backs, exclaim “You got that right!” then they all crawl back into the holes they crawled out of.

It’s really annoying when it’s all news anchors and reporters do. Thankfully, that’s the only thing that happened on TV news Friday.
No cops to go after? What a shame...

Then there's those scintillating, insightful overpass shots of snow falling on a reporter who has just discovered that it snows in the winter in Michigan.

As I sit here on Sunday moanin', sipping my coffee, I shed a tear as I reminisce about the good ol' days when FOX2 would trudge Al Allen out at 5am by the side of a major Detroit freeway, or a bridge over said roadway, and in a driving snowstorm he reports, "Al Allen live here, it's a strong snowstorm people as you can see next to me/down below"....

Apparently you need protection 2,000 miles away.

Out of the package, the anchor said, “Great tips there.”

Wow.
For those of us that have COPD, it was a useful segment. Yes, pollutants 2000 miles away can trigger flare-ups. But you wouldn’t know that in your perfect life, would you lovinlife?

The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa in what is now Indonesia changed weather patterns worldwide for at least five years. Mount Saint Helen had the same effect on a smaller scale in 1980.

I'm not a fan of sending a crew out to show shitty weather.
