Rant; Winter 2013/14

[Freed Roger]

High of about 60 today in STL. Sunny too.

The memory of being stranded without beer will melt away like the snow. That crusty black stuff left behind will remind of the pain you caused with that debacle.

We finally broke our sub freezing record going back to Jan 30. It's 34 right now, headed for a balmy 39. The sun is out as well. Fortunately it's very very windy to cool us off.

I am hereby taking responsibility for this winter and will no longer play the victim.

Bully for you bucking up and taking responsibility! Well done sir.

You are not an American Victim!

We ended our sub freezing streak today at 444 hours.

Also, Tom Skilling honestly made me laugh tonight. If you know him, you will understand how that would be pretty rare. He was talking about how nice it was today (46!), and then he said something like "But you know we can't go more than 2 days without some barbaric weather front coming our way and here it is".

We also melted 2" of snow today, making the average snowpack in the area at 12". The 1" of rain we are getting Thursday ought to be interesting.

It's just a mess, and going to be for quite some time.

I had a weather question a couple weeks ago and called Skilling on Garry Meier's show. I got through and they put me on the air.

46 degrees right now with an expected high of 55 in KC.

[jim]

39 with a wintry mix coming tonight.

People are genuinely happy about the weather around here right now. I refuse to be happy with 39. Just because today doesn't suck nearly as bad as the last 50 days, doesn't mean it still doesn't suck.

Half empty.

you are one grouchy lil' bear aren't you, jim?
