Ghastly, Crippling Storm to Hit Region!

1-14-08 SHORT HILLS: It hasn’t been very cold. It has been rainy and drizzly which keeps everything muddy. For the last few days we have been under a winter storm warning, hyped by the TV news and threatening us with up to six inches of snow, perhaps more. They just love to predict ghastly storms and commuting chaos. It’s far from an original observation, but the TV news people, I guess all the news people, just go for the sensational story. Instead of a crippling storm, we had maybe a half inch of rain but not one solitary flake of snow.
