Yes, the NWS misuses the alert system.

Oh yeah, and misuse is the correct term too. Everything is emo-hyped, except when our rights are being destroyed.

The worst part is that you can't even view them while at work.

Seriously, I've never felt compelled to throw my phone until my phone did this in the middle of the night a few weeks ago...

Yeah I got rid of those weather alerts a while ago and I hardly watch TV.

What I don't get, maybe someone can enlighten me, but the forecast is not scary sounding at all. 6-12" in the city, cold...................that is if the weathermen are telling the truth.

I just got a call from my boss saying we are closed tomorrow. We follow Adams 12 schools, and I think that they only did this as we get so many snow days a year. As we get closer to summer and haven't used them yet, they will use an excuse to use them. We have had way worse and I still had to go to work.

I will take the free day off, just makes my life on Wednesday a living hell with work................

What snow??????????????????? there's barely a dusting here (longmont) and from looking at the traffic speeds doesn't look like there is much anywhere else either.

it snows here occasionally, get a clue. 2nd blizzard in a row to be a big nothing burger. Since when do they cancel shit that it might snow?

this state is a joke, on many levels.

As usual the weatherman is WAY off on the forecast! In the Springs we have no snow, just high cold winds.

Thanks! I kept thinking about disabling them but always get distracted. I work nights so these freaking warnings always wake me up during the day. I also noticed there are "Presidential Alerts" that I can't disable. [panic]

global warming alarmist want me to beleive that they have a clue when they say that the earth may warm 1 degree in the next 10 years and that humans are the cause. How can I beleive that garbage when the weatherman can't even get a 24 hour forecast right?

Fuckin A!!!! We got HALF A FUCKING INCH of snow down here. Of course, the schools are all closed, my wife's phone is blowing up with like it's DEFCON 3, and the neighbors are all unloading boxes of canned goods. It's all these goddamn Californians moving here and thinking the sky is collapsing every time it precipitates a little.

Know how I "prepped" for this storm? Lifted the windshield wipers off the windshield. The end.

They've been calling every snowstorm since the begining of March the blizzard of the century. I'm over it.

America's Newsroom on FNC this morning was even talking about how bad it's going to be in CO today... Their reporter "in the field" was downtown overlooking some intersection that was clear and easily manageable by an elderly man from FL in a Mustang with racing slicks. Give me a break. But, up here in Evergreen we have about 3" and it's still coming down pretty good. The roads are slick and icy thanks to the warmth from the past few days... Coworker who lives in Lakewood couldn't come in, and she was born in CO... I almost wanted to say "Get the sand out of your Vajayjay, we've seen worse."

I figure the snowstorm warning and coverage gives us a break from MSM reporting on EVERY gun related news story, in attempt to further vilify guns for the sheeple.

I was getting 3-5 NWS text alerts on my cell phone, all w/in 2 minutes. If there was a way to send a message w/out text it would be a chicken running crazy because the sky is falling. I called Verizon and told them to block the crap because it was totally useless, inaccurate and annoying. All the panic in the texts and we had maybe 2 inches on the ground this morning. Worthless alerts
