| Anonymous Coward User ID: 26865673 United States12/20/2012 02:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Midwest's first major snowstorm of the season was sweeping across several states early Thursday, shuttering schools, creating treacherous roadways and threatening to slow down one of the nation's busiest airports ahead of the holiday weekend. Quoting: Sleeping Giant Forecasters warned that heavy snowfall coupled with strong winds would create blizzard conditions for morning commuters from Kansas to Wisconsin. The heaviest snow is expected across a swath extending from northwest Missouri into Milwaukee, Chicago and Michigan, with predictions of as much as a foot of snow in some areas, according to the National Weather Service. Before the storm, several cities in the Midwest had broken records for the number of consecutive days without measurable snow. [link to news.yahoo.com] [link to www.weather.gov] It has been in the 60s-70s here in Oklahoma. Last night we had abnormal wind gusts...steady then really strong..about 22-32 mph. Then its freezing! Someone is playing with our weather patterns. Usually December is cold and calm. We had tornado warnings yesterday evening. |

At first I thought it was just the reflection of the Christmas lights but after it happened a few more times I knew it had to be lightning but I have never heard of that before during a snowstorm. “You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe.” John Adams, Second President of the United States |

| Debauchery User ID: 15455863 United States12/20/2012 03:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm in Michigan. Waiting on the snow. :) I'm a little bit excited. So far only rain though, I'll give it a few hours. And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |
