WORST STORM IN US HISTORY - MOSTLY UNREPORTED & TONGUE IN CHEEK
One of the worst winter storms in recorded history is now predictated to affect 100 million people in the USA.

How many nomads are affected by this?

(Damn twichy finger.)
Well, this one's affected. 16 of us are assembling in Sandy Eggo on Thursday (Cheswick's anybody?). Some of the guys are slogging across the country
(just about across by now) while their long-suffering wives are slaving away this week to pay the bills. Said wives are flying in over the next
coupla days. Or so they thought. Some have been rescheduled from today or tomorrow to late Thursday night. Just *barely* ok, as we roll across the
border on Fri morning with a schedule that's (as previously mentioned) wound just a tad tight).
I think there's a whole bunch of us who are going to welcome:

Thanks for that, Barbarosa.
Storms of any kind have always excited me...extremely enough that I sometimes seek them out.
I was born in a frozen ND winter and although I cannnot remember that exact date... ...
...as a child I do vividly remember one of my Dad's friends who was found frozen stiff as a board...sitting with his back to a corral
fence, right arm extended and reaching to the sky..pretty macabre, right? Many years later, Dad would explain to listeners that his buddy was
reaching for that last whisky. His yarn probably explains why Mom went to church alone.
This storm:
People who live outside the northern tier have no idea of the suddeness and fierocity of a major blizzard up north. You have seen nothing like a
full-blown prairie blizzard in central Canada or the upper Midwest USA. Truly killers.
Right now, dust storms are covinging over 1/2 of the lower USA. Remind you of anything?
9 states are now under a blizzard warning. I hope folks are taking this seriously.
Let's all hope it blows right on by...literally.

Still a bit early for this prediction, but it sounds like it won't be
fun. Kind of like those other anthropogenic climate change caused winter storms in 1933, 1922, 1913, 1899, 1888.... Just glad I'm 'here' and not
'there'.
I think the world is run by C- students.

It's just as accurate, and crazy, to base weather/climate prediction on the AGW crowd as it is to put your faith in the Punxsutawney Phil forecast.
Sometimes Phil is right and sometimes he's not.
Truth generally lies in the coordination of antagonistic opinions

The groundhog never cherry picked data to back up his forecast. The AGW crowd actually hid data that didn't fit their theory.

is that why teabagger's in their zeal to eliminate govt spending that conflicts with their ideology are proposing to eliminate the NOAA NWS and
replacing it by outsourcing weather forecasting to city of punxsatawney dept of public works, farmers almanac, inc. and center for creation studies?

Just got done with a Monday full of below freezing, 30,000 ft plus hail dropping thunder snow producing weather. Today as the first low pressure
center moves through into the San Juans of the southern Rockies we are left in wake with temps in the single digits expected tonight. Baja beaches

You can take away my MTV but you will have to pry my NOAA/National Weather Service from my cold dead hands.

Pomp, I was just putting the finishing touches on a similar (but much longer and far less eloquent) thought when you posted. THANK YOU! Nuff said.

I heard on the local (San Diego) radio that tomorrow 'super strong' Santa Ana winds of 65 mph is predicted for the foot hills and mountain passes...
But sunny and dry... today is beautiful as well!

Wheat Ridge Colorado. 8pm minus 11!!(minus 28 wind chill) Not a lot of snow- about 4 inches yesterday and last night. Warms up tomorrow with high's
projected to be 8 above. Have the motorhome covered and winterized but this morning I decided to put an electric heater inside to keep above freezing.
When the electric step wouldn't extend checked the engine battery and found it frozen solid!! Our normal temps for this time of year are highs in the
low 40's with lows in the high teens so this is really cold!!!
