It's December 15th, 5:30 in the morning and 61 degrees outside. It's bonkers.

It's not going to be nearly as bad in MPLS as in Iowa but we are in a wind warning as well tomorrow with sustained winds 35 MPH up to 60 mph gusts for many hours. We have a MASSIVE silver maple tree in our back yard and every time there are winds I just talk to it telling it to just stay strong. Eek.

We have 2 evergreens in our side yard that are both taller than our house; probably 40 ft tall each. I’m just glad this wind is coming from the south which would make them fall north if they came down and not onto our house.

After watching that I am now convinced we are gonna get it all. Frankie is rarely wrong.

A lot of Mets (especially NWS) still break it down “old school” with colored pencils.

That looks like something Frankie drew. BTW, why some local TV station hasn’t put him in a minor role as part of their weather team is beyond me.

That makes it look like the storm won’t be able to get it up. Gonna be weak.

Last week when I saw temps in the 70's, I'm like what a great day for a bike ride!! Then when I saw the winds going from like 20 to now 70.......

Yeah, my wife saw the forecast and asked if we could take the day off. I pointed out that if we are seeing 70 degrees in December, that can mean only one thing....ridiculous southerly winds.

Now...I have a business idea for one way bike transport. Like Uber bikes. This way you could drive south, ride north with a 60mph tail wind, then call UberBike for a ride back to your car! I could crush a ton of miles with a grab all the KOM's with a 60mph tail wind

Silver lining: if you missed the opportunity to get a new roof post-derecho, you might get a do-over.

I got the north facing half. Time for the south facing half.

Remember when everyone on here was concerned the north end zone video board would fall over in high winds?
