If the part about the US being only reduced to only a few cities is right, it's the end of the world as we know it.

If I had the numbers, I would prank call them with Judge Judy. I haven't been getting any calls but I'd love to prank them.

I was wondering when they were going to start using them. It's not a bad idea, a good alternate option to the windchill warning/advisory.

EDIT: Made a graphic representation of what happened last night since I worded it poorly. Yes this is MS Paint...

I have no idea what's going on. It's snowing in the city, raining here, but what's strange is that the NWS never said it was going to be this windy tonight. From what I'm witnessing, we are already getting gusts over 45mph I think these are microbursts because these winds are totally unexpected.

EDIT: I've figured out what's happening. We are getting a wind from the south right now off the ocean. There's a cold pocket of area above us from the cold air we had today. Since the cold air is more dense, the cold air dives down from the rest of the troposphere, add that to the southernly wind and you get a microburst, and you also get mixed precip which is what we are getting right now. First time it has snowed here since October.

Banned because I agree

Banned for apologizing and then going back to being rude...

Banned because that wasn't rude, let me rephrase, "it shouldn't have been anybody." meaning that if I wasn't "rude", it shouldn't be anyone.

You don't know what freezing really is!

Technically, freezing is when it hits 32°F or lower.

 

Well duh. Everyone knows that, I was saying that it is a lot colder here. 32 degrees is just freezing, but a wind chill of 2 is really freezing, if you know what I mean.

Just found out that the IS2 doesn't narrate "Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday", instead Jim just says, "Our local forecast".
