 One day after a bit of snow, sleet and freezing rain hit the Charlotte area, let’s take a step back and look at how the news covers the weather.  You’ve seen the reporters doing their best to prove how icy and cold it is outside, kicking sleet-covered roads and turning hot water into snow.

Frankly, it becomes mind-numbingly difficult to come up with something new to say if there’s nothing new happening.  Which is probably why one of the other stations out there was promoting their coverage by saying, “It’s icy at the airport… how officials say the sun could help.”  True story.

So what drives you crazy about the way news media covers winter weather?
