Enough said. Wouldn't mind hearing the vocal version either. Eh, I take back my earlier submission. I would like to hear this one again. I don't know why, but it reminds me of a mix between "Dear Prudence" by Jeff Lorber and "Daydreamin'" by James PJ Spraggins both of which are great songs as well.

Ice Storm

Wow! I remember hearing that song back when I also had the Xlv1! I went crazy every time I heard that song the beat is amazing Do you know if it's available anywhere?

I found his phone number on the BMI repertoire but I do not know how accurate it is.

No, as far as I know.

Black ice is possible tonight which is why the Winter Weather Advisory is scheduled not to expire until tomorrow morning.

I put so much work into writing these past almost 10 years (wow, I can't believe it's been that long!) that I've never really worked on character sketches. Well, that's what I'll be doing and posting here in between stories.

This first one is just a final draft of the character Dean (I posted one before a while back)

There are some mistakes in coloring because I used colored pencils on somewhat aging drawing paper. For example, the blue was supposed to show up much darker and no, that's not black nail polish on his fingers, I just totally screwed up coloring in the shadowing on his jeans.

Below are the original black and white and colored images.

41, Overcast DP 37

Some light precip is pinwheeling back in, I wouldn't be surprised to hear reports of wintry mix occurring over the next hour. That cold air from the ULL is flooding right in here from the SW.

Atlanta Metro: Cloudy, 45 DP 43
Hartsfield-Jackson Int'l Airport: Cloudy, 43 DP 41

When I left for a morning college class around 8am, it was 53 degrees so it has dropped 8 degrees over the past 5 hours (half of that within the past hour)

Rap music is garbage. I don't know why people love to feed that stuff into their ears. I see no novelty in lyrics that talk about junk (however I'll say eminem is an exception)

People like rap music for all kinds of reasons like my mom likes listening to the beats of a lot of rap songs. She doesn't really give a crap about the lyrics sometimes. I'm the same way.

I heard that Lady Gaga song yesterday on TWC and I couldn't get it out of my damn head! That's a song I love to hate.

Here's the call map I made at another forum.

What other forum are you on? I'm on American Weather a lot in the NYC metro forums, if you're on there.

I'm a member there (with the same username I have here) but I mainly hang around/post in the SE forums.

I posted this map at another weather forum called Talkweather.

Well, they learned their lesson from the January 9, 2011 Snowstorm and bought/have a total of 75 snow removal trucks, in addition they have 1,900 other pieces of equipment with other outside companies for backup. We only had 10 total at the time this snowstorm hit so that's a HUGE improvement in my opinion. They didn't get to be used last winter since it was mild and snowless, we'll see how they do tomorrow.

Let's Play: FIND THE COLD FRONT!

In all seriousness, the temp. divide going from TN/MS/AL down to GS/SC is freakin crazy! You're talking about nearly a 50 degree difference.
