Bread/Milk Alert. Storm of the century tonight!

[jdcatty]

went to an old woman's house yesterday (the son is apparently worthless)

Anyway she's freezing to death so I go. I get there it's 75 degrees in the house. She claims the blower isn't running. <Morgan Freeman voice> The furnace blower was indeed working fine

I go ahead and check it all over anyway. Ended up boosting the fan speed a bit so she can feel that shit. About a month ago I fixed a draft motor that was super loud...I think she's just conditioned to it sounding noisy as fuck.

Anyway the point of this is to say I went ahead and walked around the house and put on the faucet covers, opened the door to the water heater and see that it's about to explode/freeze/rot out and pretended to not see that. And moved on...

Bless you.  This stuff is really hard on old people.


Probably got an inch, maybe 2, of snow here in Texarkana.  Still falling a  little off and on.  Cold as fuck.

[BleedinRed]

Gonna be some good south Arkansas rabbit hunting coming up.  Nothing better than a frozen morning with a pack of Beagles running the woods. 

[Usafhawg]

Yep, it is. 

True story, my oldest taught herself cursive when she was 8. She takes after her mom, because even though I home schooled her for a time, I cant take any credit for that. i bought her the books and encouraged her desire.  The desire was hers. That's rare.

My son attends a private school where they started teaching him cursive last year in the 3rd grade. I like to think that's impressive, but its not.  Sister Emmeline taught me cursive in the 3rd grade. God rest her beautiful soul. What finally convinced him to buckle down and hammer it out was when I challenged him to find me someones autograph, football, baseball, etc., where someone signed their name in print.  A year later and his cursive is on par with my 82 year old mothers whose had a stroke. Progress.

Typewriter?  Does anyone have one of those anymore?

Forgot the obligatory weather report:

I'm in the blue dot in Lexington. She jumped the Shenandoahs and parts of the Blue Ridge and dumped on Richmond before us. Mountain effect pushed the first wave over, but we're still gonna get 1-3". Looks like FNG and USAFhog might get the worst of it closer to the Bay if it doesnt run out of gas first.

I think we're only supposed to get 2-3". Just enough to cause mad hysteria up here. Of course they'll close work so I'll have to waste a day of leave for that

9 degrees here right now, feels like -4. Apparently, it snowed a lot last night and is still coming down with those small flakes. We got around 3-4" so far.

[DRYANKNPULL]

Got up at 4 and we probably had 2 inches in the Saline Highway 70 corridor. It was cold as fuck, but not too bad since the wind wasn't blowing. Went to my shop to start my truck to go duck hunting. I then had a slight movement towards maturity when I realized more bad things could happen than good. I got back in bed. It's still cold as fuck.

[Son of Spam]

A little bird bath we have hanging on the back porch. And still coming down.

Got about 5 inches in the elm-cave-springdale Metroplex.

Drove the wife into work in Bentonville this morning, then I went to the office. Not too bad, snow packed roads, there is traction to be had.

49 north had two clear lanes, 49 south had one. Sides roads are all snow covered, but drivable.

I did this in the wife's AWD Mazda SUV, not my mustang.

[SwahiliSteve]

-4 here and we've maybe gotten an I h or so of snow but still coming down. Other areas north and south of here got a lot more

[Thin Red Swine]

What's the "hot as fuck" threshold, seasonally adjusted?

The heat index is 83 at my house right now. 

[Hognrock]

We got about 6-7" in Arlington (TN). Very dry snow. It's cold as a well digger's ass in a brass bra on the shady side of an iceberg

[DRYANKNPULL]

Got the old flexible flyer out. Sledding was great. Walking back uphill was not. Drove about 15 miles down to the farm and the highways were very passable. The rural highway was covered but this stuff is pretty easy to drive on. Still cold as fuck.

My bride left Christiansburg headed to Johnson City this morning.  She couldn't get a flight into JC, so she flew into Charlotte and spent the night with some friends of ours in Christiansburg.  She almost made it JC when she got a call saying everything there was cancelled, and so was her meeting later in the week at Belmont, so she turned around and headed back to Virginia.

Hotter'n fuck>95

[Sus-Scrofa]

Hotter'n fuck>95

Hotter'n fuck is defined by the night temperature.  

When it's so hot it stays in the mid 80s or above over night, it's hotter'n fuck.  No relief.

[Usafhawg]

I believe this is pretty true

Except every time that happened to her, no hetero turtle on the planet retreated.

At this age, >95 day temp is hotter than fuck. We call that batwings weather. When your sack sticks to your legs and it looks like batwings.

I like to use the I Drive Arkansas app to look at the road cameras around the state.  Noticed last night it would not open up and still the same way this morning.  Anyone else noticed the same thing?

The app opened fine for me just a few minutes ago. If you're talking about the cameras idk. Never opened those

The app itself won't open at all for me.  Just a white blank screen.
