lol. You really should! Dammit!

Well, living in SW Iowa, there is one advantage I have.

I can sit back with my 6" and watch Chi-town and points east get buried with complete equanimity ;)

Godspeed and good luck!

Thank you. He’s in the midst of wheat country and it’s doing very badly due to drought. He’s not a farmer now but used to be.

I ran to the store today and bought all their ammo in case things get bad (like the zombie apocolyspe happens during the snow storm).
We have plenty of food, but one can never be sure if they have enough ammo.

My member name explains my post, but I pray that everyone stays safe.

where it finally makes landfall is an open question, IMO. I live in Queensland and have often watched as the cyclones travelled down along the coast - thankfully I am a thousand miles away...

from an hour ago:

The Bureau of Meteorology's latest tracking map puts the landfall site anywhere from just north of Cairns to just north of Townsville.

But the central tracking line, which is the bureau's best guess, shows Yasi crossing at Innisfail, about 90km south of Cairns.

Ok, folks: here are 3 different cities during the same time span. Oh, yes, I understand it was 60 degrees in Bentonville last Saturday.

Looks like it will be colder in Bentonville than in YellowKnife for Wednesday and Thursday!

I’m about to go outside and on the road. No flakes last time I looked. Wish me luck. :’) We’re supposed to get up to an inch an hour overnight.
