Salem's weather

[Poirot]

Ah, so the writers finally decided that since it is January, they should probably show some winter weather, and so today, 1/27, we have this huge snowstorm! Everyone is mentioning it....but tell me. Is everyone dressed for it?
Oh, I saw a couple overcoats on some males, a scarf or two. No hats, gloves, mittens, hoods. Ladies in silk dresses, skirts barely covering their butts, no boots anywhere in sight.

Does wardrobe watch the news? At all? Last year was the coldest, nastiest winter, and the news in CA had to cover at least some of it. In the morning, all those winter clad people are outside the CBS studios, the NBC studios, the hosts frequently go out and chat them up.
And first thing I thought, was, boy, snowstorms all over the country, and a humdinger on the east coast today, and there is Salem having a huge snowstorm. Compare the people on the news (yes the outside reporters as well) to the dolts in Salem, who apparently have no idea how to dress in a snowstorm or blizzard.
And amazing that people come in from the snow covered streets, no snow on their clothes, none in their hair, and they are not even stamping their feet to get the caked snow off. Heck, it was snowing and Clyde did not even have his coat buttoned.
Just amazing.

Heck, I'd be freezing my tail off in their clothes if it was below 60F, lol.

I have come to believe that Salem is actually on a different planet therefore our planet's weather may not hold true to their planet's weather.

In the "truth in advertising department", I live in Phoenix where it's "cold" at 65. But last night I was watching a show and it started with the host outside in the snow, then she came inside and took her gloves off. Her fingers were sore, per her word, and bright red. She had a heavy coat, and scarf on. and what looked like decent gloves. I am amazed at how well Salemites get around in the "mid-west" winters they suffer though.

I too was pleasantly surprised that Salem is acknowledging the blizzard. If it is by sheer luck, then Wow! Did they ever get lucky! I was wondering if they reshot just a couple of scenes to include the big storm!?

 

[Poirot]

LOL, they just got lucky. It always snows in January, and they were so neglectful last year. After all, these scenes were probably filmed last August.

 

[Darrius]

Good coincidence with the snowstorm, (considering today's show was filmed in October) as the Boston area is having possibly a record breaking snow today.

Also learned the area outside of Will and Sonny's front door, is open, as the snow was falling outside their door.

 

[katmouse]

Remember there's no such thing as coincidence.....

maybe Celeste told the writers there would be a blizzard
today on the East coast

EJ knew how to wear a scarf. He put in under his coat when
he went outside. That's how I wear mine.

Clyde's scarf was hanging from his neck and not wrapped around
it. And his coat was open. I bet he's cold under the snow.

I'd feel a lot better about the Salem weather if it weren't to serve DA PLOT. And I give the writers/wardrobers an "A" for effort on the wardrobe but "D-" for execution.

 

[Heather4CU]

Heck even the reporters in the CNN Blizzardmobile/Hurricanemobile were shivering

Very true. The last time I can recall weather being mentioned (at all) was the night EJ was shot. It was a big deal that it was so warm out and he decided to walk...

 

[Daysdegrassi]

I am glad that we finally see winter weather make an appearance in toqwn, but why can't anyone dress like it? It is too cold to wear that kind of clothing here in Philly, so how could they possibly stand it in Midwestern winters?

 

[KathyLu]

It only snowed so Clyde wouldn't be discovered right away. It's the same plot point used a few years ago when a blizzard hit Salem and trapped Jack and Jennifer in a cabin. There was no sign of snow the next day.

Sometimes they show the door of their apartment going out into a hall. Other times, it opens right to the outside.

 

[Heather4CU]

Yesterday it opened into the hall with snow falling. You could see the door across the hall.

 

[Poirot]

Since there is no ceiling over the set, I figured the special effects just accidentally fell into the hall from above. LOL. As someone said....that one take thing has to rule it all.

 

[Just Samantha]

They could be acting as though the apartment doors open to a small courtyard.

 

[gramcracker]

I wondered if the roof was open over the hall!

This thread just made me realize something. When was the last time it rained in Salem? When was the last time we saw someone running in with an umbrella. Was that 4th of July episode a few years ago the last time? I remember Will, Chad, T, Kenzie sitting around a table in the pub, with flashes of lightning outside and they were talking/telling a story and there were fantasy scenes which included other members of the cast. I didn't pay much attention to the episode lol which is why I vaguely remember it. Anyway, it never rains in Salem USA.

 

[Poirot]

LOL, well they say CA gets so little rain, bet the writers forget that it DOES do that in the midwest!
