Well, since I made this, the snow has (mostly) stopped, now it's just refrozen ice clogging all the gutters/downspouts/streets.  But, you don't wanna hear about that, do ya?  Let's get into an extra-frosty edition of Weather Warnings!

I live in a semi-rural county somewhere near Sioux Falls, and if you thought it was bad enough in the city, it was worse on county roads. The local school here had it's Christmas break extended by nearly six (or so) days because of the constant blowing snow and the big dump after New Years. And believe it or not, there was at least two EAS warnings relayed over some Sioux Falls stations... for a No Travel Advisory issued out of Nobles County, MN in a weird female robotic voice. I do have a recording of it, so I can send you it if you're interested. I also notice that when you do feature newscasts of local stations, you don't include Dakota News Now. Their weather reporting may not be as detailed as KELO's, but in comparison to the blizzard news, it was more or less the same. And later this year, there will be yet another news channel appearing... "Sioux Falls Live". Forum Communications just purchased KWSD-TV 36 (now renamed KSFL) and they intend on turning that into a news-heavy station as well. While I'm all for a new challenger to the two mega-stations, the fact that you already have issues picking up channel 36 within city limits could be a problem for the station going forward.

One more thing... those Karl's ads are all sorts of low-budget cheese. The font used in the particular spot featured in the episode is one of the default stock font themes in Adobe Premiere. Karl's couldn't be bothered to find a better looking font!

I grew up in Texas and those levels of winter weather are almost mythic to me, but damn, I don’t know if I’d take the frequent tornadoes and floods (and the odd hurricane) in exchange for that. Hearing about a man dying from a heart attack while shoveling snow? That sounds like one of the worst ways to go. Jesus. Y’all are brave, said as I’m currently planning my move to Pennsylvania.
