My planned business trip to New York City this week had to be rescheduled due to bad weather. My evening departing flight was cancelled early yesterday and there were simply no flights until afternoon today at which point the trip no longer made sense. I offered to work through the weekend with the folks I was going to see but they, prudently, demurred.
There’s something that seems to me would be worth studying. Is it my imagination or are the opinion pieces in the East Coast-centered news media less numerous or less interesting when the weather is bad? Or good? It sure looks that way to me. Maybe it’s just my glum attitude.
I think you’re right – in fact I’d be surprised if that wasn’t the case.
The media isn’t talking about National Steel reopening the Granite City plant? The weather must be bad.
I’m surprised that Steve Green (Vodkapundit) hasn’t mentioned it. I think his dad was a VP there.
In the local paper, the story next to the one about bad weather is this one:
“PEORIA — A man who allegedly tried to ram a car into the Peoria airport’s terminal, then boarded an empty plane and then tried to steal a county deputy’s squad car said he was worried about an impending zombie apocalypse.”

SPOILER ALERT: “Deemie had been under the influence of drugs early Feb. 17 when he began to worry about zombies at about 3 a.m.”
Apparently, he had seen the announcement that Roseanne was coming back to television and it sent him over the edge. Or was he concerned about some other zombie?
A Florida Man story that wasn’t in Florida?! Maybe the Zombie Apocalypse is actually on the way.
