[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Nothing says spring like hurricane-force winds, snow and blizzards.

And that's just what mid-April is bringing to millions of people in the West and Midwest, with more than 40 million Americans under wind-related advisories and millions more expecting heavy snow.

Parts of Utah, Nevada, western Wyoming, Idaho and California should expect wind gusts to reach hurricane force on Wednesday, with winds of 74 mph, CNN meteorologist Pedram Javaheri said.

Another 4 million residents of Colorado, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Iowa, Wyoming and Kansas are under blizzard warnings through Wednesday night. The storms, which have been building up over the Rockies, will pummel the region Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning, the National Weather Service said.

5. This is not abnormal out west.

I have plenty of Easter pictures as a child with snow on the ground. It's also why you don't plant until after mother's day

7. I'm pretty sure we had some Albuquerque Low-storms

This bomb-cyclone shit is just media frenzy. I have seen five and six feet of snow fall in one storm.

Just sensationalism.

2. I'm one of them

Quite frankly it is pissing me off. This winter has been difficult enough that I am taking the steps needed to sell the house and move away from Minnesota. I just can't hack it anymore.
