I lit a small fire in the back yard with some race gas and did a small dance whilst downing some rum too boot. Paganism! Woohoo!

Bah, humbug! And may all your humbugs be bah.

Nothing happy about this Solstice! It is brutally cold in Michigan today.To Hell with Winter!!!

84 degrees in Miami today...
I hate it when I have to turn the a/c back on...

Yawn......

15 degrees Fahrenheit and loving it!

We'd be thrilled if it got up to 15 in Michigan,today!! Right now it's 5 degrees with a windchill factor of
MINUS 14!

winter or not, my a/c is on 24/7.

I'm with Eddie on this one...spring can't come soon enough. Last week, there were three nights when I was driving into work that conditions were so bad, be it fog, snow or ice, I thought I was a dead man. One time, the white-out conditions were so bad, I couldn't even find a highway entrance ramp. It was right in front of me, but I couldn't see it. Then, there was the fog. I could not see my hand outside the car window, let alone the highway. On Friday, I went on the air bragging about how I didn't have to use my windshield wipers for the first time in a week, and, bingo! someone calls from the northwestern suburbs saying it had started to snow! No relief! GO AWAY WINTER!

They're talking possible tornados tomorrow and Wed...
Very rare for these parts this far south...In 16 years, I've never heard them talk about a Severe Outbreak this many days ahead of time unless the storm is named.....
Usually, the fronts lose their steam before they get this far south....

jeez, winter is almost over and NYC still has NO snow.
