We live in Wisconsin. Home of the crazy weather. In winter time, it SNOWS. What idiot doesn't know that?

With that said, why do Fox 6's rivals act like it's never snowed in Milwaukee before?

When I'm watching my prime time shows on other stations, they ALWAYS show these fearful commercials.

For example, Storm Team 4 aka Scare Team 4, will have a short promo like "A BIG snowstorm is headed our way! Be prepared and WATCH US AT 10!" And they say it with a serious face and play dramatic music. We live in WISCONSIN! It's winter time! SNOW is nothing new! It's not the first storm and definitely not the last.

Or during the broadcast, they'll talk about an upcoming storm. "Today is Monday, but our models show a HUGE storm coming from the West that will be here on Saturday! Be prepared! It's gonna get ugly! Look for closings and delays!!"

Then Saturday will come, and we only get half an inch.

Ok, enough bashing other stations. This is why I stick to my fellas on Fox 6. Vince, Rob, and Bart aren't over dramatic. Yay Fox 6! :)

I have a decision on my hands.

I LOVE the weather. But, in order to get my degree in Meteorology, I have to take 3 levels of Calculus, and three levels of Physics. I am absolutely TERRIBLE in math. I hate it with all my heart. I'm so scared my math skills will hinder me from getting my degree. But I love the weather.

I love writing. English has always been my best subject. On the writing portion of the ACT, I got the highest score you could get. However, the journalism field is highly competitive, and that makes me nervous.

I don't know if I should stick to Meteorology of go ahead and switch to Broadcast Journalism.

Any tips anyone?

I'm a Journalism & Mass Communications major at UWM. I plan to take Matt Lauer's job on the Today show in about 6 years. I also plan to have my own talk show and magazine.
