Good on 18. Went to MC and it was totally fine. Not even enough to scoop it even.

Every Winter I contemplate moving south, then every Summer I remember why I don't live in the south. If San Diego wasn't so damn expensive I'd be there yesterday

That's the problem with California. The Californians. Seattle would be my cup of tea, but just as expensive as San Diego and the whole volcano/earthquake/tsunami thing.

I'm a hippie at heart, so the laid back vibe of San Diego suits me. I get it though, not for everyone.

Oregon is a bit better for this. It doesnt get quite as warm as southern california in the summer, but it seems to remain mild year-round. Lots of californians have moved up there, and oregonians hate it.

It's on my list of places to see. My brother lived in Portland briefly and loved it there.

It was an exaggeration but not a big one IMO especially when you are looking at it days in advance. I am obviously biased but I feel that both the broadcast and NWS mets have done a better job the last few years of showing broad probabilities in the preceding days and then narrowing it down as you get closer.

Thankfully there are smart people working to improve the forecasting of all types of weather. They need funding though and I fear for the future if we continue to slash budgets.

Here is a tip. Just put the target over SE Iowa. Freaking brutal. So much for 37 and rain. Just going to be another 5-8" snow. Have already damn near doubled our Yearly totals.

No kidding, its starting to pile up here in Bloomfield, schools are already delaying 2 hours tomorrow, and looking at the radar, I would bet most will not be going at all.

I picked a great year to buy a snow blower, beats the hell out of scooping.

I've got about 150' driveway to shovel. This is the last year of that ****. I can find some other way to exercise. Just estimated it at 1450 ft2 plus side walks/deck. Scrapped some off the roof so it doesn't get too heavy.

I know at least one person with Wx in their name is a meteorologist for a local news station in Des Moines.
