leechlake Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) I've got everyone home right now and I am preparing for the third storm of the season. I was told after the last two duds "it's better to be safe than sorry" by my weather mentor Paul Douglas so I'm heeding that awesome advise. Flashlight batteries are good, candles are good, hand crank radio turned to 'CCO and all the blankets are folded neatly in our fruit cellar. Next thing on my Winter Storm list is to check Paul's page for advise. I fired up the google and checked in to Paul's page. The good news is that even he isn't calling for snow or very much at least. I scrolled down a bit and he discussed the Sunday Vikes game being the next coming of the Ice Bowl...now we were getting somewhere! Vague panic style material by Paul was gripping my soul now. I read some of his suggestion that peril was right around the corner for players and fans on Sunday but then I hit the jackpot! Dirty air. Paul explained that Minnesota has the "20th dirtiest air of all the states!" A large photo of a gigantic industrial smokestack emitting thick toxins was posted next to the warning. He told of huge globs of soot, global change, polar bears swimming aimlessly due to the polar ice cap disappearing. I ran to the hardward store and purchase their last coal shovel figuring I could easily clean my driveway of all clunks of carbon that fall from the sky tomorrow instead of snow. We're still discussing hiding out but now will move upstairs instead of the fruit cellar to avoid the heavy air coming. Take care folks!

reinhard1 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Ha Ha!!! The "real" storm of the 2014 firearms deer season was very real. 20 inches in one drop I came home to. Had to borrow the neighbors blower. Mine was on it's way out after 20 years. Next day I bought a brand new one. Only used it twice after that. So the wise man should buy a snow blower and then there will be no snow. I look for more cold weather than any kind of serious snow. CCO is the worst of the bunch as far as the panic button. good luck. leechlake and McGurk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobberineyes Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Maybe they should start naming the man made toxic storms heading our way instead of nature's, makes sense!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 That was probably a picture of the Hennepin county incinerator downtown. Taking the picture in winter so all the steam looks like smoke helps make it look extra bad. leechlake and JP Z 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leechlake Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'm calling that a whiff too but won't count as 0 for 3 to be fair about the snow. It was supposed to be foggy which I assume led Paul to ponder the dirty air, "they will wake up to fog and think dirty air!" There is zero fog and zero wind so he was wrong...again.

This theory also works with fish houses!! I bought a new ice castle in July, and it has yet hit the ice!! For those who hate winter, you can thank me later, and if you feel like buying me a gift to show your appreciation, I like Miller Lite!! reinhard1 and bobberineyes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reinhard1 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hey Grumpster While I had a short stint at Fort Dix New Jersey, I dated a WAC who lived near Hewitt NJ [sp] that's near upstate NY? That's where I learned that they didn't have pop, they had soda. Well this storm dumped 3 inches on us as of this morning. Time to panic and get the blower out. I have a rule here that anything under 2 inches stays. More and I blow it out. Besides I kind of like getting the blower out 3 or 4 times a year. good luck.
