I find it interesting that the upper midwest goes through this weather
every
year ... but when it hits the east coast ... it's national news. It's no
news
folks ... it's a real winter.

It's national news when it hits the east coast because it effects millions and
millions of people. It's not national news if the upper midwest experiences
zero temps because it only effects the 500 people living there and the
millions and millions of moose, elk and bear that live there too. What's more
newsworthy? The fact that it is cold in the upper midwest where it is cold
like this every winter. Or on the east coast where it rarely gets below zero.
Odd weather makes news. Just like if New York emptied out and moved to
Milwaukee. Now that would be news.
