We got several more inches of snow last night after getting over seven a few days ago. I went to my local newspaper's website to find out if there was anything I should know. This was their top story.

The local TV stations have not been much help either. I guess there's nothing to know? You'd think there would be some local news that two TV stations and a newspaper might think about covering.
You're viewing a single thread.
I live in an area that gets snow regularly. When we get a storm, there are precisely three things the news can report on:
- When they think it will stop
- Are the roads driveable
- Are there school or business closings
If there is nothing to report in those three topics, then it's just another slow news day. Just be glad they're not making TV news reports about trending Social Media topics, that's what our local news gets into when they run out of Sinclair propaganda (or Bills highlights) to run.
I found out a few days ago when it snowed last time that an emergency declaration had been declared from social media because it wasn't reported on. This time I just wanted to know if I could go to Kroger without getting hassled by the cops for being out when I shouldn't be, but apparently I don't get to know that.
Yeah, that is more incompetence than I am used to. When we get driving bans and other emergency declarations, the local news will put that crawly thing on the bottom of the screen letting us know what's up. I bet they get complaints when it covers up the score of the game.
Local communications being reduced to social media posts is the sign to just dissolve the community, it's over.
There hasn't been much of a community here the entire time I've lived here. Terre Haute is the very worst place in Indiana, which is quite something.
Yeah, that is more incompetence than I am used to.
Second that.
What original source did the social media cite? Have you looked there for your answers?
It was the city's Twitter account and nothing there either, but I wanted to be sure.
