Skull ............... You make some good points, again!
I never worried much about the weather. Whatever we were dealt, I had the tools and the know how to deal with it and simply went on and did what I needed to.
Back in the 70's when a blizzard hit and we had to report to the armory to gear up to dig homes out, I wasn't near my truck, I had my car, I drove it till it couldn't push through anymore, then walked the rest of the way to the armory. Simple as that, we did what we had to, accepted it and went on.
I suppose it is to some advantage to have the early warning systems, however, until we expended our business some 15 years back, I never realized how wrong these weather reports are. I have lost more money listening to them, than simply doing what use to come natural, that was dealing with what was dealt me.
They get on the airways, yell and scream, roll out the drama so these weather people can act like movie stars and all they do is scare the hell out of people and kill business.
We live in an area where we get everything. So my wife and I each have what we need. Cycles for the wonderful days, cars and 4x4's. The business is open no matter the weather, period. Even if they go to a level 4 or whatever it is, we open up. The people who are out, need a place to go.
I understand with so many children needing to be transported by people who can barely drive cars, I have no problem keeping them off the roads, just for the kids sake. But the rest of it. It's a grand show. These ******* TV stations buy all this equipment and build these glorious sets, so some half wit can put on a show and be wrong, only severing to screw my day up!
Your right Skull this country is getting soft and this is only one issue! There are a whole host of them!
