I do feel sorry for the people in the south. But watching the news today everything shut down where it looks like a ghost town. No cars on the roads etc. with just a couple of inches of snow and ice going on makes me just laugh.

Guess it's all relevant but I still can't keep my self from laughing at the weather reporters standing in a whole 1 inch of snow screaming how bad it is. :B
