Any guess to which station will go most overboard with the snow?
My guess is that it will be NBC 10. They go into weather overkill mode. Is it me or is their weather set bigger then their news set?

unfortunately the timing of the snowstorm, starting late afternoon, will prevent the stations from going with all out coverage this tims, but yes, most of their eveneing newscasts to the storm. but yes tabloid 10 is the worst when it comes to panicking the people.

It means good business for Southwest Airlines. The Newscasters make the mostly harmless, mild, winter weather into a catastrophe and people start calling Southwest Airlines and America West for trips to Vegas, Phoenix, LA, and Florida.

You forgot to mention they buy eggs, too.

What is it with the milk, bread and eggs?
Do people make French Toast when it snows?

Some strange Philadelphia custom---there's a snow flurry, let's grab the fixins for some French toast. Even if it's an inch of snow, let's stock up like the end of days is upon us!
