Farkakt Weather

We've got thundershowers and tornado warnings in Chicago in January!

I ain't no weather historian, but that just ain't right.

Maybe the Weather Channel's founder can explain this all to me.

As Lewis Black once noted, this is stuff you don't even hear about in the Bible.

edit: sorry the weather spooked me...it feels like July or April

We had a tornado about 25 miles north of me in Wheatland, WI

70 degrees here tomorrow. I'm washing my car.

This is what it looked like both north and south of us for the better part of last night



We never got anything bad directly over us, but this went on from around 7 until well past 11PM.

I hate it.

It's freakin' January. "Thunderstorms" should be "blizzards" this time of year. It's like there's not even winter in St. Louis. It just goes straight from fall to spring.

Oh, but if you want to sweat our sack off for 5 months out of the year, no worries at all.

I loved it. Grabbed my acoustic and sat outside when the front came through around 1:45. Thunderstorms are the best for sleeping.

Not that kinda thunderstorm!! The thunder was shaking my house and freaking out our dogs.

I do enjoy thunderstorms though. I can't believe people are complaining about 70 degrees in January. Its only for a couple days and we'll be back to cold before you know it. Its nice to be able to step outside and enjoy the weather.

I've always loved cold weather, I love the snow, and I hate sweating my ass off like I do in St. Louis for 5 months out of the year. I don't need any more 70 degree days because half of the stupid year here, it's 85 or higher.
