We had a storm that passed through AZ on Mon and Tue that was
generating that kind of hype. "Weather Alert"s every 15 min.
Granted, it was a good sized weather system that brought some much
needed moisture to the region. But, all of the hype was just a bit
over the top. Last night I watched 15 min. of a half-hour newscast
devoted "Storm Coverage". What it really amounted to was the fact that
it rained a few inches in some locations and snowed a few feet on the
tops of the mountains. I think the effect is brought on by what is
called a "slow news day".

John,

Just wait until Monsoon Season 2005 comes around...Cue Dramatic Music

Talk about over the top "reporting."
