bongobobny Posted February 2, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 2, 2011 Big snowstorm, eh?!!? In anticipation of all the media hype, all schools were closed. Well, last night we did gewt a little freezing rain, with maybe a half inch of crusty snow, but that was it! Presently it is snowing with a little wind. The way the media presented it, it was going to be the storm of the century and we were all gonna die!!! It was hilarious listening to the news this morning before work, one station, our conservative one, saying things were nowhere as bad as expected, the other liberal stations pl;aying it up like it was a disaster out and we haven't seen anything yet!! One radio station described us as in the hole of a donut, with the bad stuff all around us but not on us! Hey, this is Buffalo, it's winter. Deal with it!!!

1 Canuck Posted February 3, 2011 Share #6 Posted February 3, 2011 Not what was expected in Toronto either (20-30cm). Media loves to build the hype. When a hurricane hit Florida a few years ago, the reporters were on the downtown Toronto streets asking passerby's how they were going to handle and prepare for the storm when it hit Toronto a few days later. The hurricane lost its steam and by the time it hit Toronto it eventually came down as a typical rain shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradT Posted February 3, 2011 Share #8 Posted February 3, 2011 One radio station described us as in the hole of a donut, with the bad stuff all around us but not on us! I think it must have been a big hole. Nice amount of snow, no where near what they expected. Also came through at night which helped with the traffic, but there was more wind than snowfall.
