I'm beginning to think that the National Weather Service has Rochester on a default mode of "hazardous" and they need to remind themselves to update the profile manually if on the off-chance it's, say, sunny. Otherwise, what would explain this?
Maybe they know that blazing sunshine is a hazard to our eyes which have now grown accustomed to winter darkness. Or perhaps they would like us to prepare for hammock-related accidents. It could happen.
