When I was a kid, more years ago than I like to admit to, if it looked like it was going to snow, someone commented, "It looks like snow".
Whatever amount of snow we had, we coped with it and life went on. Nowadays, at even the hint of snow the media makes a 5 day circus out of it.
Plus a prominent local TV meteorologits exagerates and sensationalizes the weather beyond belief. And my wife, for one, hangs onto every word he says. He always uses "wiggle" words. If it looks like a couple inches of snow, he says "the pototential" is there for 12 inches. I think he gets paid by the word. He can take 15 minutes to say it might rain tonight and then again it might not.
I think the media creates a lot of the panic. I heard somewhere recently that TV weather people are taught to sensationalize some negative aspect of the weather just before a commercial break on the theory people will hang on during the commercials to find out what's so horrible about the weather.
