Kansas Crimson

Ours, here in Lawrence, stopped at around 4" about an hour ago.

Still colder than a witch’s ballsack here.

For the first time ever, did the boiling water into the air trick this morning. It all evaporated instantly in the air, with hardly a drip touching the ground.

But man, we need snow. We’re still in “extreme drought” conditions here, and it’s so dry that I don’t know if I can continue to afford this much chap stick

but my lips hurt real bad!

you just need some musk ox fat...or was it actual brain that the guy used on Alone?

i bet TDub remembers...the dude stored it in his musk ox ball sac

I cant remember, i think it was the fat, the sac bag was a handy deal, a very traditional way. Roland is a damn badass tho,either way.

Was in a grocery store about an hour ago.
Old woman telling the checkout woman that she's preparing for the storm. Ok, I assume she must have had a lot of food and beverages at home already because all she bought was some celery, mac and cheese in a box, and a bunch of potatoes. Not exactly what I consider to be storm necessities.
Got me to thinking.
My guess is if she has lived in Chicago her entire life she's probably seen at least 100 winter storms.
I wonder where she ranks the 67, 99, 2011, and 79 storms in order.
For me, 79 and 2011 probably had the most impact.
I like a good snow storm when I have nothing to do and tomorrow I plan on going to the beach to take some photos.

33F with rain and thunder here

finally got some snow here, though not as much as we really need

35 and gray/rainy/dismal here. Very sub-optimal WFH weather.

We're supposed to get about 9 inches of snow here today.

Sub-optimal how?

Isn’t that good don’t-leave-the-house weather?

I would prefer sunny weather. The gray is just so low-energy.

I'm actually at the office now and it's not any better here. Just poopy work weather across the board.

Yep. It's to the point where I'm wondering if I'm getting sick or if it's just the gloomy day.

It's great don't-leave-the-house weather if you can sit next to heat source in front of the TV with a drink and doze off.

friend of mine referred to it as “fornication weather”

Yeah gray weather can suck, but if I’m working indoors, the issue with sunny weather is it makes me wanna go outdoors.

Yeah, today I have had zero energy, probably due to the weather and it being Monday and I probably had a few too many brewskies watching the Chiefs game last night.

NWS and local weather service/s suck sweaty camel dong.
Got everyone in a tizzy for nothing.
If we got the 5-8 inches of snow they claimed we were going to get in the 60611 zip code then I have 12-16 inches in my pants.
