Last night on one of our fine local TV stations, the weather guy lowered his voice at the end of his forecast segment and said, "And there may be flakes in the air later this week for parts of Western New York." And my eyes rolled heavenward.
Come on, folks, this is Buffalo! Let's put an end to this annual rite of hemming-and-hawing over the first time each fall that the word "flurries" has to be used in a weather forecast. Let's stop acting as if we're in a Harry Potter novel and we're referring to Lord Voldemort in hushed tones. Let's stick out our chins, puff up our chests, and say, "It's gonna snow this week. Ya got a problem with that?"
Sheesh.
