Weather wonks: There are many meanings of the much-used word “messy.” Must we include it in the shrill description of a snowstorm or its aftermath? This is Canada. And it’s winter.

Of course it’s a fucking mess. People can’t get to work without breaking their fucking kneecaps because some moron forgot to salt the fucking sidewalks.
I think it’s all about perspective; one persons trash, or mess, is another’s treasure.
The news reported 58 people attending the ER with broken bones. That’s messy.
