It’s a storm, not a curtain call.
This winter storm (March 14) is pretty blustery and late-season record-producing
in some areas. (Primarily the coastal north of New York City, although the
forecast had it that we were going to be suffering like never before, ie,
beware the snowpocalyse !)
Storms are not personalities. This one is called Stella !
(Exclamation mark required, especially when it comes to my family life, because
of Stella, my daughter K’s adorable pitbull.)
I do my best NOT to listen to the news when it comes to
severe weather. In keeping with an earlier post of mine regarding public
information and ratings, there are few events more representative of just how
hyped the entertainment surrounding something as natural as weather conditions can
be. And don’t kid yourself. Those news folks on broadcast, cable and local
stations are all about entertainment. At least that’s certainly the case here
in New York City …
Meantime, if you can, take a cue from the kids and get out
in the Snow! Snow! Snow! Snow! and play in it while it lasts (without staring
into your phone and watching the weather entertainment shows …)
