So the other day, I was walking through one of my classrooms where we typically have a TV on.  The TV was tuned to CNN, where a reporter in Colorado was breathlessly reporting on an approaching snow storm…  At the bottom of the screen, the banner Developing Story was plastered along with the headline “Winter Storm Strikes Rockies.”

Snow?  In Colorado at the end of November?  No way!  Shouldn’t it be 85 degrees and sunny in Colorado this time of year?  Sheesh!  It’s the freakin’ Rocky Mountains, it snows in the Rockies!  Why is a snow storm in Colorado news?!?!?  Now, if we were talking about snow in Florida that would be a different story, but Colorado?  Come on!
