I have often wondered how much the steam from factories on the SW side of CR may affect its microclimate.

I have wondered that for years relating to tornadoes. It seems like most following Hwy 30 either head north towards Robins or south of the airport.
In true American form, I’m sure we’ll eventually see someone who loses their house to a tornado try to sue a factory because they’ll have some study that showed their exhaust caused a tornado to divert its course into their home.
The snow tastes like Captain Crunch so that's a plus,,,,
I shoveled my driveway and sidewalk this morning. I'm ready for spring now.
Snow is pretty slick. I was walking my black lab and Chesapeake Bay retriever this morning. We'll call my black lab chaos. She has anxiety etc...well she pulled me as I was walking down the road. Of course I fell. Luckily the poop bag didn't open up on me or anything.
Well yeah, it wouldn’t be ISU basketball without a long walk from the parking lots to Hilton in crazy cold conditions.
Selfishly this cold blast is what is finally getting me excited for a cruise we're taking in January. I miss those summer days when I'd take the dog for a walk and not feel the bone chilling blast of cold and my body automatically contracts and shivers. But hey I choose to live in Iowa!
The extended forecast is showing no chance of precipitation into mid-December. I presume this means we’ll get hammered with a blizzard the week of Christmas when everyone has to travel?
Truth!
We're trying to plan a day to run up to MN to ski and get the kids in ski school but I'm reluctant to commit until 7 days out when I can see what the weather might be....
We leave on our next cruise out of Galveston on Jan. 6th, cannot wait, 11 days in the sun and ocean.
Hopefully. Feels like it's been a while since we had snow on the ground over Christmas.
God I would love to go on a cruise right now. I'm getting Facebook memories from the ones we've gone on in years past (we always go November/December/January) and it's really getting me itching.
January through March is the best time to cruise in my opinion, we are getting burnt out on winter and the weather this far North, and the weather down on the islands is around 80. The ocean is still a little chilly when you get in, but you quickly warm up to it.
Nothing like sitting on the balcony with a bucket of beer and watching the ocean sail by.
Man have an awesome time!
We're doing a Disney Cruise out of Fort Lauderdale. Just 5 nights but going a couple days early in case weather/travel issues...worst case scenario we get to mess around in warm South Florida.
We're taking the kids on their first cruise at the end of February. Also sailing out of Galveston for 7 days. Looking forward to it.
Goddam it's cold.
That's all. Cold.
Correction. Cold, dark, and grey. Only 4 months of winter to go. Yay
