Winter Weather Expected to Dominate Conversations of Boring People

Statements of the Obvious Pound the Northeast


NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – Tedious observations about the severe winter weather are expected to dominate the conversations of uninteresting people for the next 24 to 48 hours, boredom experts warned today.

With blizzard conditions blanketing the Northeast, a powerful front of mind-numbing weather-related banter is expected to pound the Eastern Seaboard from Sunday into Monday, with statements of the obvious stretching from the Carolinas to New England.

“Blizzards like this are when boring people really come alive, unfortunately,” said Dr. Davis Logsdon of the University of Minnesota’s Meteorology Institute. “I would advise everyone to stay inside and avoid all contact with dull individuals unless it’s an absolute emergency.”

Tracy Klugian, 57, a prominent bore from Cincinnati, Ohio, said that she planned to take a break from her scrapbooking hobby to post Facebook updates about the weather on an hourly basis.

2. It snowed here first

We Midwesterners are used to it and while we still gripe about it, we deal with it. And we can be boring too. Except when we aren't.

3. The only thing more pathetic than people talking about the weather

is the people who look down their noses at the people talking about the weather.

5. Some people are weather geeks, just like some are history geeks.

I don't see anything wrong with it.

It's human nature to have water-cooler talk and a big blizzard can be exciting (and dangerous).

7. Very humourous however I don't think talking about the weather is boring.

Often it's a great icebreaker and an opportunity for friendly banter. I can tell a lot about a person by how he or she responds to an innocous comment about the weather.

8. The hilarity of it all....

every winter people from the local TV stations are out on the street asking people about the weather...snow, cold, etc.

And every winter typical New Englanders express shock (SHOCK!!! I tell you!!!) over the cold and snow in New England.

OMG!!!!


New England!!! Snow! Ice! Freezing weather!!!

WHO KNEW?????
