The Thanksgiving Non Surprise

There's bad weather this Thanksgiving. Its' all over the news. It is not like it happens all the time.

Oh, wait, it does.

Every year at Thanksgiving there is bad weather which fucks up traffic and flights all over the country. There are stories all over the news with reporters standing out in the cold, the rain and snow all to prove that winter is indeed snowy and as luck would have it, it effects travel.

Shocking.

The news should all agree to not report the bad weather in such doomsday terms. The would be allowed to run a weather story on Thanksgiving only if the conditions are awesome and beautiful. Something along the lines of, "It's a bright sunny day on Thanksgiving. The air is crisp and travel is going to be smooth." To report that there is bad weather in winter is just lame.

If the holiday were moved to April or May these yearly problems would not happen. Isn't thanksgiving a holiday to celebrate the pilgrims surviving a bad winter? Wouldn't it make sense to have it after winter and not during the beginning or middle?

I should start a petition for the change of Thanksgiving to a time when it's easy to travel.
