In my absence from the snowy season in Denver the past four years, I have forgotten how people react when a snowstorm is forecasted. The news stations feel the need to flash up to date information on the bottom of the screen for hours upon hours before the snow even starts falling. Then the weather people act like their job is the most important job in the entire world because THEY are alerting everyone its going to snow. People discuss the imminent threat of snow in Denver as though it is the apocalypse. Let me be the first prophet to say.....ITS JUST A SNOWSTORM PEOPLE. People wonder how they will get to work. Well, I would say you should get to work the same way you get to work every other day of the year. Also, people think that if there is snow on the ground, that makes it appropriate to drive 30 miles under the speed limit as though the snow is going to somehow magically propel their ass to work. If that worked, I wouldn't be spending 60 bucks on a tank of gas.
And after all of this....it will probably snow a total of two inches, but everyone will still arrive to wherever they are supposed to be on edge and grouchy, like they were somehow targeted by mother nature. All everyone will talk about all day is how long it will take them to get home. No one cares, leave early. BUT if the ski resorts don't get any snow, there is more whining and complaining. Can't have your cake and eat it too.
