Im getting SICK & TIRED of hearing people say "its the coldest its been in a hundred years!!" and I try and correct them and they say "I heard it on the news!".
Well, what they are hearing is that for this DATE, and since they have been keeping records, the temperature is the lowest its been FOR THIS DATE. It DOES NOT mean that that it hasnt been LOWER, its just a stupid thing that the weather men started doing like 2 years back to make the weather SEEM exciting. It pisses me off, because they arent listening. I clearly remember lows at zero and below as a kid, and people have a 5 minute attention span so they think its really the coldest its been in a hundred years, and Im tired of having to explain to everyone.
Sorry, just had to vent......
