Winter Weather Advisory here. Currently seeing our first snow of the season. The temp is about 38, so it's not sticking to anything.

Yeah, I never cared for ice, but I do seem to like when it begins with ice and then changes over to snow. It is irritating to have ice for the fact that it does create black ice for several days. Snow lasts longer than ice.

On another subject, this is getting REALLY irritating:

I was getting a connection problems page for a few minutes earlier, but it's working fine now.

Bring the snow down here.

Meh, I'd rather have the rain instead.

If it's a warm rain sure, but if it's cold and breezy and the rain feels like ice sticking on your face, I want a heavy SNOW not heavy COLD RAIN.

That's EXACTLY how I and many of the other people I've talked to about it feel, lol.

Ugh, what a horrific game for the Gators. I was hoping they would beat Alabama so they can go to Pasadena (which is 3 hours from my area) for the championship! ugh!! we were so close, but oh well, they did had their potential.

Nothing I can do on my end about it :/

Hooray! It's raining!!!!

It's a sad day locally. A Penn Hills Police officer was basically ambushed last night while responding to a domestic violence call. He was shot while sitting in his patrol car awaiting backup. This hits home really hard because I know quite a few of the officers with the department (about 30 officers). I didn't know him personally, but this is a shame. Earlier this year 3 officers were killed in the City of Pittsburgh, where they were also ambushed when responding to a call.

All local media outlets have coverage, but here's a link to just one of KDKA's reports. There's multiple videos to watch on their site.

Wow, this story is really sad, Tyler.   I can't imagine how much police officers in major cities must deal with every single shift, especially with criminals like that one.

Indeed it is sad, and I thought it was odd that it happened another time previously. My thoughts go out to those officers' families.



I hate to change the subject here, but I am typing on my laptop for the last time for a little while. I need to put it in a box and ship it out to HP in Mipitas, CA. It is going to be so hard living without this, lol
Should get it back in a couple weeks (probably week of Christmas allowing for that 7-9 business day time frame). They need to look at it to not only repair the loose casing, but look into some wiring issues, and the issue with the overheating as well. I am hoping they replace it. Wish me luck!

Very sad news indeed. Philly is definitely no stranger to that as we've had countless officers killed in the past 2-3 years.

I've been wondering, what's causing the increase in on-duty officer deaths? Do people these days just hate the police?

It seems like a combination of hate and disrespect towards higher authority.
