Rant; Winter 2013/14

That's a really cool piece of data viz. I'm a little surprised Chicago isn't further north.

Then again, the Cities are probably 4-5 hours north of Chicago and that distance does make a huge difference.

It feels like we have been on the north freaking pole half of the year.

I don't even know what the proper word would be to describe what is falling out of the sky right now. Nasty ass [expletive] comes to mind.

We had thunderstorms over night. I gotta think it puts a damper on any severe chances later unless these clouds clear out real fast. Chance of snow over the weekend. It's almost laughable at this point. Also it seems to get cold and [expletive] on the weekends. What the hell?

They are calling our current conditions "Light Rain Fog/Mist", which only leaves out the sleet, hail, freezing rain, and snow parts of it.

edit - and these little round white things that look like a combination of everything in one particle.

Branding it global warming was such a mistake. Had they called it climate change all along, instead of global warming, they'd have a lot more believers.

agreed

I like 'Global Extremes'

It snowed this morning. This place is just awful.

March 1st. I took this pic today at DeKalb's girls softball field. When is HS baseball supposed to start? I'm thinking it will start late.

Facebook friend posted this yesterday. Local HS baseball practice.

The snow in our yard probably will be completely gone today. I really thought it was last until April, but I think the little bit left in the corner isn't going to make it through the day, and if it does it won't make it through tomorrow.
