1. Ha! The East Coaster who posted about the snow days nailed it!
That's sure true where I live! Two flakes - the HINT of snow - panic! :rofl:

2. It's never a good thing to mock people for their reaction
to natural phenomena. However, it always seems to happen. I'm not sure why that is.

3. It's more like mock-mocking, nobody is being serious about it.
I think the reaction was actually kind of cool, in a lighten-the-mood kind of way. It's good for our national psyche.

4. Love the tipped over lawn chair
all it needed was someone in a dramatic pose yelling "OH THE HUMANITY".

5. OOOOh, I'd Be Careful With That
Mocking often spawns karma and it becomes a 'he who laughs last, laughs best" situation
