Chris's Corner - This is Winter

12z euro has finally folded like a cheap tent.

Looks way closer to the fv3 now.

Of course, it would be Thursday-Friday, but I'm just looking at 24 hour charts at the moment.

It takes another 20 minutes for me to see all the other stuff.

It's very possible that even with the shift it is still all rain. But it's a huge shift and confirms the euro has a huge amplification bias.

If we are calling out other models, the euro should be too.

Ok. I gave in. Im opening windows. It is HOT in my upstairs.

Drama yesterday in my subdivision facebook page....lady spots 2 kids on the lake. Yells at them to get the <expletive bomb> off the ice. Kids hurried to get off the ice...then she tried to follow them home and after they ran, she posts their picture and names on fb. Soapbox warning...what the kids did was wrong. But you slowly and methodically coax them off the ice by tracing their path. She put these kids in far greater danger by scaring them off the ice. She let adrenaline get the best of her by yelling and using the f bomb...then to draw attn to herself she publicly shamed these kids on fb. She knew the kids and she cld have had a private conversation with the families. Its time that we as adults become the role models that our neighbors were in the 60s. End rant.

Making the most of the awesome temperatures! Smoking/grilling some chickens..
One spicy one not! Thank the lord for Tony Chachere's!

For those wondering....twin chimneys has ponds but there are signs prohibiting getting out on the ponds. There are some fish but you catch and release. I personally dont have a problem with ice skaters when the ice is 4 inches thick. My issue is some goodie two shoes scaring kids off the ice instead of coaxing them off when its 62 degrees. My other issue is calling them out on social media. If i ever have the displeasure of meeting this busy body, my first and only words will be "you are no hero - goodbye".yes kids need to obey posted signs but her screaming at the kids put them in far danger than necessary.

I'm rooting for both teams to have stomach flu and the game is canceled.

I'm seriously tempted to do the same.

I have no interest in the game. It's unavoidable to find out the winner but that's it. I haven't cared in years

I'm rooting for the power to go out at the stadium.

If it’s going to be above freezing, at least let’s have a good wind.

I’d like to say my backyard is a mud pit, but one dog just needed a quick paw wipe, while the other almost got herself a garden hose bath. So, there’s mud, but only one dog seems to relish in it. I’d love to let them have some time outside, but the cleanup isn’t worth it. Just spent a hour mopping my hardwoods....

Yes the icon is a joke.

And do these gefs members show an actual ice/snow storm or rain to non accumulating backlash?

The icon has zero snow in Chicago or St Louis.


And it looks like no ice either.


It's not even close.







It is what it is

I am rooting for Bane to be real and suddenly no more Superbowl.

Since the asteroid missed us, I'm rooting for a 2-0 loss for the Rams.  A late safety after 59 minutes of the most boring football ever seen.

I am actually rooting for the Rams but not watching the game and not for the obvious reasons.

I want to see the Rams win so that they can suck again. Another 10-15 years of sucking and the ownership will think the geographical cure will work again. Bam, back in STL.
