There Outta Be A Law, Hey?

Headlines such as this, “Pair of Winter Storms Leaves 38 Dead," always leave me cold.  As if a winter storm actually kills people.  Bad storm, you capricious killer you.  Reading the article, alerts you to the fact that, it is not the storm that is killing people, but traffic accidents.

"The weather was blamed for at least 38 deaths, most of them traffic related, on Sunday and Monday."

Though the article still attempts to blame the weather.  Use a little caution, and a winter storm is simply, a winter storm.  Snow, maybe some wind, slippery roads, idiotic drivers.  It isn’t the weather that’s killing people, unless they are dying of exposure in a snow bank.
