Oddly accurate.

Hey, I'm not finished yet!

[Texas Joker]

This is what my week looked like.

 

5 forecast on 4 days 

 

From potentially 14 inches of snow to barely enough to cover the ground in reality 

[Cypress Sun]

I still can't believe that CA gets 55 - Electoral Votes.

Similar for east Tennessee. But only up to 12 inches, not 14.

 

Still good cause to go get a gallon of milk today.

 

Going to make some cupcakes later so do not need white bread, have toilet paper, ... Also wine, chocolate, fix'ins for chili... I think the only other thing is to go fill up fuel tanks since I won't be driving anywhere.

Your snow must've gotten side tracked here.  ~16" so far this week, the wind makes it closer to 8-40" depending where you stand.

that looked a lot like what we were presented here last night - predicted 3" of snow and we got a dusting , but it did get cold so that purple stuff is somewhat accurate , probably better than the weather guy/gal - but shes better to look at so i accept what she says easier

I have never understood the logic in that. 
 

When I lived in North Carolina the first snow that occurred when we had just moved there my wife and I went to the store. The bread aisle appeared to have been looted. The dairy case had no milk nor anything liquid that resembled milk. 
I asked the clerk what happened and I got the old funny line “You ain’t from around here, are ya?” 
The lady explained it this way:

”Here in the Carolinas of there is even a rumor of snow people rush to the store and stock up on milk and bread.”

I said “Why?”

”God only knows, but it’s what we do.”

 

The next year it snowed and the normal abnormal run on bread and milk occurred. The day after the snow melted the fridge and cabinets at work were full of milk and bread because everyone thought the people at work could use it since “we all didn’t get snowed in”. A week later the trash cans are full of unopened jugs of milk and loaves of bread. 
It happened all 5 years I lived there.

“Purple stuff”?

”Smells better”?

What are you gents talking about?

[Blackwater 53393]

The “purple stuff” is the coloring on the map in the OP’s picture.

 

”Smells better” refers the the weather girl in Watab’s last post in comparison to the infant in FKCGG’s post!!

I don't have Peacock so I followed the Chiefs/Dolphins on BBC News on my iPhone.  Updated every few minutes or after a significant play.  Thanks, BBC!

 

It was a cold game (to remain relevant to the topic).

Just saw this photo from the Kansas City Star.  I know a lot of you don't like the NFL these days, but when it's cold enough to crack a helmet...

The big question is....did Taylor Swift stay warm and was she warm AND fuzzy? What about her boyfriend?

She looked like a red Michelin man, had to be hot.

Our neighbor, a certified Chiefs maniac went to game last night. That’s a special kind of crazy. He said this morning he doesn’t need to do that again.

They have to make sacrificial french toast to appease the snow gods as near as i can figure.

 

Or they make french toast and throw it on their driveways to melt the snow.

 

Never made sense to me either

In California it’s beer, wine and liquor that fly off the shelves in a predictable emergency…everything is an emergency in Southern California.

It was said that Mahomes should be working with Alstate instead of State Farm because Alstate protects you from MAYHEM like this…

I called a local radio station a few years ago after they were telling everyone that were were going to get 85% chance of snow and 10-15 mph winds.

 

I asked the guy who answered the phone if they had even so much as looked outside.  We had so much snow that the visibility was about 50 feet and the winds were pushing 50 mph.

 

He told me that they checked with the National Weather Service and that's what they broadcasted.

 

Hell, the NWS doesn't even know where Arizona is, much less what our weather here is at any given time.

Arizona?  That is between OK and MS. Right?

Oh, yeah.  You're a graduate of the public school system.  Right?
