Station powered by atomic energy, operator powered by natural gas.
I'm looking at the live feed from PA, it's pretty hokey. A guy in pajamas is MC'ing. Just before at 6:45 EST, two people were jumping around to "Stayin' Alive" while a third did CPR to a CPR training dummy.
7:20AM or so PA does its thing with the Phil.
7:30AM or so, SI does its thing with their Chuck.
EDIT: Both agree, Spring is here. Now would someone tell the weather that?

Snow tonight, gone tomorrow.
looks like that snow blower might pay off after all.
We never had weather like this before they started messing around with that internet stuff.
We had a couple of inches of show overnight and since it was in the mid teens while it snowed, the snow was dry and light. With no more shoveling than what I had to do, I cannot see the value of a snow blower for this area of town where we just have a few places to shovel. Having to go out and drag a snow blower and then push that heavy thing with very cold handles, just doesn't appeal to me. My shovel is lighter to push than a blower and the handle is plastic so it is not so cold. I don't have to fight to get it started in the cold, and it is easy to store and pull out.
Okay. Yeah. I'm cheap.
Understand but I have a half acre corner lot with a whole lot of sidewalk so I got a blower with 4 forward speeds, two reverse speeds, electric start, and electric hand warmers. You gotta love technology. PS, the city makes every homeowner clear the snow from walks and driveways or get a ticket.

No doubt, you are better off with one. We are looking for a bigger place and we are looking at our options for snow removal.
How do I know? Those furry groundhogs sez so.
General Beauregard Lee? Anyway... seems that the present weather trends where the South is getting a lot of Winter is gonna continue for awhile. I guess it's gonna be awhile before you can have Sassafras.Saturday morning, a crowd of about 20,000 people roared as Punxsatawney Phil, Pennsylvania's famous groundhog, foretold an early spring when he didn't see his shadow.
Three hundred miles to the east in Staten Island, NY, Staten Island Chuck also didn't see his shadow, encouraging the crowd which was standing in single-digit wind chills, that the warmer season was near.
A third groundhog, Ohio's Buckeye Chuck, also delivered news that winter would wrap early.
But Atlanta's General Beauregard Lee disagreed with his furry pals to the north. Lee says six more weeks of winter is ahead.
Groundhogs prognostication.
