Cold Rain

Little appetizer before hitting the buffet!

Close! I’ll take photographs and report back.

Going some place for dinner that would get a Mack stamp of approval.

All this excitement, and no @packbacker! Where are you man??

6" snowstorm from a clipper. That's something you don't see every day.

Haven't looked yet. Is this a Mack boom with a few micro flakes, dying as they move through the boundary layer?

Haha yeah you need a view to into the kitchen, if we're being honest. Little kids aren't that smart. You can see it coming, so you have the advantage. It's like a good rebounder in basketball. Go where the chocolate chips are going to be. Trip a few people, stick a butt out, "accidentally" knock a plate out of someone's hand, whatever you have to do. It's every man for himself when it comes to CC pizzert.

You may have a thrombosed hemorrhoid. The dr. can lance that for you. I'm going to have to take points off for eating ancillary food items at a pizza buffet. Total rookie move. Salad, pasta, soup, they're all there to distract you, kind of like the soft dinging of the slot machines in a vegas casino. Save your quarters and make your mission about destroying as much pizza as possible. If you leave having eaten less than 12 pieces, you have failed. Miserably.

Mack, the Pizza Inn here asks you which pizzas you'd like about half the time. Then, they forget to bring it to your table. Oh well, I always make sure to get a seat with a good line of sight to the buffet. We went there the other day at 6:30, and there were two half-eaten pizzas on the bar, along with a chocolate chip pizzert that looked like it was made in 1969. I was baffled at the lack of preparation to serve a substantial number of buffet eaters. They eventually got rolling, but good grief, that was a long wait!

I will have to talk to RC, I guess.

We're socked in with clouds here. Very overcast with seemingly no chance of departure.

Fropas suck. Clippers on the other hand, can be fun. They're usually not, but this is a year where one or two could be.

If the clipper strikes him down, he will come back more powerful than we can possibly imagine!

Nice epic collapse by State.

Take one of those salt baths or something. And whatever you do, don’t pull on it!

That sounds pretty chilly. How’s the STJ looking?

I just got an email that said I renewed my gold subscription for $25. It appears to have auto-renewed. But I don't recall leaving a credit card on file. Plus, I know the CC I previolsly has been canceled and replaced. @Wow How did it auto-renew to a bad credit card number? Plus, don't I have to approve it in case I didn't want to renew?

We haven’t even gotten under a WSW yet. We’re usually good for at least a couple of non-verifying WSWs. Give it time. Besides, 70s in winter suck. Everyone knows this. By the way, if you haven’t seen Red or Red 2, you’re missing out. Great movies.

What are the birds saying, Wilkes? And why not come back as Wilkes? Everybody knows already anyway.

Haha that’s true too.

The whole “too cold to snow” mantra is like those old people who see “heat lightning” in the summer and don’t have any idea that it’s being caused by a thunderstorm.

The term “mid-south winter storm” is like nails on a chalk board.

This is a good place for warm analysis right here!

Welcome back! You and Packbacker need to have a Warm-Off! Both of you should be stoked about the upcoming pattern. I hope to see lots of analysis, pretty orange maps, and maybe even some videos like the one below (one of my all-time favorite commercials). It's y'alls' time to shine! Well...at least it will be in about 10 days or so.

That is a really interesting image of that storm. Just think if it had been about 100 miles or so closer to the coast. Man oh man.
