Minnesotans Arguing About the Weather IV: Niño or Niña, My Joints Stopped Trying

[Slap Shot]

Another tropical storm is upon us now. Crossing Manila Bay as I type and moving NW where we are.

Luckily it does not appear that the storm will upgrade nor directly hit us here, but it's already raining heavily. Luckily we're flood proof so hoping the wind doesn't get out of control.

I move here. Phoenix breaks its annual rainfall record. Coincidence?

Phoenix has received a record-breaking amount of rain this year, according to Matt Salerno, lead meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

Between Sept. 1 and Nov. 23, Phoenix saw a total of 6.31 inches of rain, beating the previous record of 6.18 inches set in 1939. In October alone, Phoenix received 3.26 inches of rain, he added.

A brisk 66.

Firstly, that is not what expected Kepler to look like.

Secondly, when I checked the forecast this morning it predicted snow from 11-noon. Ok, I can deal with that. Commute will be unaffected. It has been snowing since about 10. I think, maybe I can go out at lunch, updated forecast says snow ending at 12:30, 20 minutes later, snow ending around 2. Now that it's 2, snow ending around 4. What is this craziness? I did not plan for more than an inch of snow today.

I stand 6'1, weigh 267, and was blown sideways leaving work at 1 PM.

More Nordic God than Greek God, I know. It throws people off.

I've dropped almost 50 pounds since moving here. I feel, well, 42 again.

Hot damn, do you have any eligibility remaining? Left or right hand shot?

Although I guess if a breeze can blow you over you're no good in the crease.

Um.

I don't think a 60 MPH gust counts as a breeze.

The wife and I are enroute home from Punta Cana and we just got diverted to ATL to procure a new a/c due to ongoing small issues with this one and the crap weather at home.

We got 7 inches last night and I had to drive the gf and her family to airport at 7am...that was not great.

 

[Kepler]

Are we still doing phrasing?

 

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

Jesus, DTW handled this storm exceptionally poorly. We finally landed, but they're short of ground crew and several a/c ahead of us yet to be parked at a gate.

Arctic cold front moving through and the temp dropped 8 degrees in about an hour (31 to 23).

Me, neither.
