Two days before winter's official start, the first snowstorm of the season has struck leaving everyone scrambling for milk and bread. The blizzard conditions will leave us under at least eight inches of snow by late evening. Everything from school to work to church services have been cancelled. Even the "regularly scheduled programming" has been interrupted to bring the latest weather report, the results of the Doppler radar and reporters braving the wind and the cold to remind us just how smart we are to have stayed home. Let's face it, the weather is the only thing keeping local news stations in business just as the obituaries keep the presses rolling at the Fall River Herald News and the Taunton Daily Gazette. It's good that storms like these come around to interrupt our routine and remind us just how insignificant those thousand tasks we were planning to tackle really are.
