Minnesotans Still Arguing About the Weather...

Holy mother thunderboomer!!! That strike was **** close!

Slow, rumbly storm going through here. Not doing a whole lot, but that one made me jump a little.
 
Re: Minnesotans Still Arguing About the Weather...

Interesting experience skydiving yesterday. Quite nice up at 13k feet and during freefall with the breeze. My chute opened at about 3k feet just below the clouds and it was like a sauna hit me in the face. My goggles instantly fogged up... anti-fog goggles, my arse! Pouring sweat as I finally hit the ground. Got back to the AC quickly.
 
Re: Minnesotans Still Arguing About the Weather...

Today was not as bad as yesterday. Plus when it clouded up it was rather nice. Although I am looking forward to that first cool fall day.

My favorite part: "The 3-foot-long gator wasn't considered dangerous, but Arntzen says alligators don't belong in Minnesota lakes and have no business alarming anglers."


Maybe not "dangerous" in a get eaten way, but if you get bit, you get to have a course of intravenous antibiotics as their mouths are, well, this explains...

"Bites from crocodiles or alligators are usually fatal. If the victim survives, there is a high risk of infection. There are reports of infections with Burkholderia pseudomallei, which are usually due to contamination from the environment.[73,74] Multiple microorganisms, especially aerobic Gram negatives, have been isolated from wounds after alligator attacks. A study of the oral flora of alligators showed Aeromonas (most common), Proteus, Pseudomonas and Citrobacter species to be the predominant aerobic isolates. Anaerobic flora were variable with the most common species being Clostridium, Bacteroides, Fusobacterium and Peptococcus.[75,36]

In light of these identified organisms, it is believed that the flora of the crocodile/alligator mouth might actually consist of the flora of the feces of the previous prey.[75] Owing to the high risk of polymicrobial infection in survivors, broad-spectrum empiric antibiotics are recommended."

Here's to a nice, comfortable day in the TC metro. Good day for alligator hunting perhaps. I need some new boots.

Re: Minnesotans Still Arguing About the Weather...

I am not looking forward to the temps around here starting tomorrow night and into Thursday. it looks like they're going to hang around until Saturday or into Sunday morning. I want to see something in the 20s or into the 30s for Monday morning. It was 12 degrees when I buried my father nine years ago, I'd like to not get borderline hypothermic while burying my mom.
 
Re: Minnesotans Still Arguing About the Weather...

I'm excited for the cold temps..with little to no snow around this area, ice will be made at an inch a day, and we'll be safely ice fishing seven to ten days from now!

First <strike>significant snowfall</strike> Tsnownami of the season. Heavy, wet stuff, too. We got 3ish inches here and it's still coming down.
 
Re: Minnesotans Still Arguing About the Weather...

Slid through a stop sign intersection this morning. Thankfully no one else was there and decided to go. Also thankfully the ones approaching the intersection were able to stop.
