Weather often ends up a top story during the winter if you live in Western New York. To defend yourself against the wind whipped snow, you have to know which radio station offers the best traffic and weather updates.

That station generally tends to also be the area's AM talk radio station. Traveling during the day (and after the morning rush hour), that station pops up when I start the car. If the weather isn't a concern, I usually snap the button to the nearest pre-programed Classic Rock FM station.

But in that moment between turning the key and flipping the station, I get a few snippets of either a) the news, which I tend to listen to; or b) the current talk show, which I tend to switch away from. Every once in a while, the voice on the radio is that of Glenn Beck. If he's been in the news for some reason, I'll succumb and listen for a while. While I generally don't like media personalities, I figure, most of them are like broken clocks – they're right twice a day.
