i'll save you the trouble

Let me sum up a typical Milwaukee newscast on a snowy night like tonight.  You won't have to go through the trouble of watching it...

 It snowed! It snowed in Milwaukee, it snowed in the western suburbs, it snowed in the southern suburbs, it even snowed waaaaay down in Kenosha. (Watch news people stand in the snow and the wind and measure the snow that fell while talking about how it started as rain, then sleet, then snow.  Throw in pictures from the DOT highway cameras.)  Let people know the plows are out and exactly how much salt they're using.



Commercial

Danger! Snowstorms can kill you! Don't drive, shovel, push a snowblower or even step foot outside because there's a chance that YOU WILL DIE!! 

Commercial. 

Rush is a douche. 

Commercial. 

Weather report: It snowed! The snow is basically over. 

Commercial. 

Sports report: AJ Hawk cut his hair. (On a side note, thank god it wasn't Clay Matthews.)

Commercial. 

Witty banter and uplifting fluff piece. 

The end.
Repeat at 4:30, 5:00, 5:30. 6:00 and 10:00.

You're welcome.
