Transcript
Good morning.
Speaker A:It's haystack.
Speaker A:And as always happens every time there's snowfall, everyone turns into a 12 year old boy.
Speaker B:They said we were gonna get 12 inches, but we only got 5 inches.
Speaker B:I thought the first time someone's promised me 12 inches and I only got 5 inches.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker A:What in the world?
Speaker A:Do the inches joke never get old?
Speaker A:Well, now it's spread to a Oklahoma City TV meteorologist.
Speaker A:This lady, Lacy Swope, was a little too vague Saturday when she said, send in your measurements on Facebook.
Speaker A:And so they flooded her page, her comments with, you know, discussion of anatomy, measurements.
Speaker A:Men were saying, oh, five to seven inches.
Speaker A:They were not talking about snowfall.
Speaker A:One guy said, it's too cold to get an accurate measurement.
Speaker A:Another one said, I'm a good 3 inches in this weather.
Speaker A:Then the women got in on it.
Speaker A:At least they.
Speaker A:One of them said 36, 24, 36.
Speaker A:I mean, even though even the replies that were supposed to be serious seemed funny.
Speaker A:One woman said, I got 2 inches, which was a far cry from the 4 to 8 inches I was promised.
Speaker A:So this Lacy Swope lady leans into it and she shares a photo of herself holding a vieni sausage and joking.
Speaker A:That's her go to snack that fuels her during winter weather.
Speaker B:Oh, goodness.
Speaker A:Well, I guess she, you know, I guess her going viral is going to be good for her career.
Speaker A:Probably.
Speaker A:But just because it's Snowmageddon and just because on this Monday, I think practically every school in northwest Arkansas is shut down.
Speaker A:As I look at the list, I don't.
Speaker A:There's none that I can think of that aren't on the list.
Speaker A:That means you're home with the kids from school.
Speaker A:That doesn't mean this has to be a bad day.
