Back in the old days we'd have our snow storm, and everyone would go about their business until school was cancelled, then we'd get a holiday for sledding and shoveling, and life would be exciting and interesting for a while, then the snow would get cleared, we'd go back to school, and everyone got grouchy again, and that was that until the next time.

Nowadays the fun lasts a few minutes then the grouchy people get on TV and everyone gets all serious and grouchy, and it's like well why even bother.
