Any of yous following this debacle out in Oklahoma? Apparently a network affiliate based out of OKC greased a politician to draft a bill requiring storm chasers to be licensed and affiliated with a network in order to chase storms in Oklahoma. Naturally this has the private weather enterprise up in arms because the vast majority of chasers are now essentially out of work in the traditional heart of Tornado Alley. Reed Timmer, not granted an exemption to this nonsense recently tweeted "WOW," and inside the replies, somebody indicated a storm chaser has established a snitch line. Crazy times.

Hey. Let's keep that shit in the bedroom, okay?

Sleet appears to have been the precipitation of choice here this evening and overnight.

Fire is going to take a FID day. Stay home, damnit.

Again, I have to ask. When is the last time the entire Commonwealth Philadelphia notwithstanding had this amount of snow on the ground? I know this is an aggregate and not for one individual storm, but I just don't see it. Am I to believe one storm will pound 80-North and one storm 80-South? Not a chance. I'll ask again: When was the last time a single snowstorm dropped more than 10" on Emporium? This would either require a doubling of that, or a storm that triples that amount. I think the next week plus is pie in the sky.

I'll wave to her as I slide down Seven Mountains before coming to a fiery crash in Milroy.

Well count them, you coward.

"Weather Modification" Japan is the snowiest country on earth.

Mr Holly has hoisted advisories for their CWA.

They're going to wait until five minutes before precipitation and issue WSW.

For the first time since I genuinely believe early December, my yard is mostly free of snow. I think I can count on one hand the number of days I've been able to see grass in my yard since Thanksgiving where we received two inches of snow. And it's currently sleeting.

Huge discrepancy between my point and click and the hour-by-hour graphic CTP posted last night. The hourly projection has snow and ice by 10 am tomorrow. Point and click doesn't even start the event until after 1 pm.

Good. Let's sign that one lol.

Yeahhh I'd rather not have an ice storm.

The forecast of less than an inch is about to bust here.

What the hell is going on in the skies?

Tell that to the morons flying out past my house. I was planning to use this road as a sled course but I'm thinking somebody is about to open up a new window in my living room.

Felt really nice this morning. I am ready to not see my shadow.

I'm hoping it does.

Here's the last thing I'll say: If you don't think what Elon Musk did was a Nazi salute, go to your place of employment and do the same thing. Let's see how long it takes for your termination papers to be drafted.

I'll end my soapbox with this: I was hoping that things wouldn't be so messed up and that every day for the next 1,460 days wouldn't be a continuous marathon of "On This Day in Facepalm," but the owner of half of the internet throwing up the ole Seig Heil at the goddamned Inauguration made me a little concerned that the stupid was about to be cranked to 11, and then a week in we're rounding-up Navajo for commiting the crime of being dark? Oh yeah. We're off to a fantastic start. Oh, by the by? The end of the war in Ukraine is now *checks notes* 8 days past-due. Promises Made, Promises Kept.

I mean, the term "native American" should exempt one from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, would it not? I don't know how many Cherokees were smuggled into here from fucking Honduras, but I could be wrong.

I mean, if rounding-up Natives because they are brown is happening because it "should," then I'll gladly kneel before the hatchet when they scalp us in revenge.

But still made it. So it could be more overwhelming.
