    Yep, we have weather

    10" of snow just SW of KRIC, 1" - 3" more to follow. Pics of the snow on a table out in the clear:




    Looks like a birthday cake!
    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

    I stopped in Newport, Tn to visit family. Took the scenic route through the Smokeys, bad idea at the tail end of a blizzard/storm that the NC guvnah declared an emergency, and I am driving a uhaul, with my harley on a trailer over the mountains. Shitty winter weather can now kiss my ass! I had no idea about a major storm. My 2m walkie talkie batteries are dead, and I rarely find a chatty open carrier repeater friendly to visitors.

    About a month/5 weeks ago I took the Blue Ridge Parkway from 215 into Cherokee. There were a couple of parts where there was snow on the shoulders and icicles on the rock walls. It starts early up there and I've seen some pictures from Mt. Mitchell from volunteer Parkway workers. The area is covered in feet, feet of snow.

    Yeah, let's talk about the weather

    Regional Rhetoric


    I don't know where you reside but, where I live, around this time of year, the local weather-caster/Meteorologist start up with this "White Christmas" weather forecast bull crap.

    Let me tell you why, "The White Christmas" dream is really a nightmare.

    A few years back, we had a snowfall leading up to and on X-mas Day covering the Mid-west, the Middle Atlantic states, East Coast and, New England; Air Traffic was snarled with countless delays and canceled flights.

    Driving to see relatives locally was almost like being on a Billiards Table with hundreds of accidents and fender-benders.

    Do they dream of "White Christmas" in Southern California, Arizona, Florida?

    Does Europe give a flop about Bing Crosby, the movie named, "Holiday Inn" or that song, "Dreaming of a White Christmas"?

    I've now found it best, when I watch the local news programs, to MUTE the weather forecaster on my favorite channel; all she does is drone on over and over about numbers that are self-explanatory on the TV screen and, she throws the 'White Christmas' crap in there.

    If we get once every 10 - 15 year a snowed day on Christmas we can be happy.
    Just ad our first dusting and till after 31st December temps are back up to 7 -11 C... at 53N ... but sea climate.
    Nope i don't do Xmas what became the eat all you can and spend all you can fake fest i cannot care about.
    I rather see a mild winter which saves on heating costs, but we can get brutal winters here.
    We'll see what January/February will bring if we get an early SSW we can get hit bad.
    all is pointing to that, so having 4 new all weather tires under the new car might have been a good idea.
