I don't use AccuWeather, I go for Weather Underground, but I dislike the National Weather Service. I get most of my weather information on my phone. And the NWS desktop-only website is really terrible on phones. Sure, the data is the same, but it just isn't in a remotely user friendly format at all.

Weather Underground pretty much sucks now. They were great before they were bought up.

I'm gonna put on my ice cleats and have a stroll thru the neighborhood.
If I die, Red Squirrel gets all my porn.
Yoyos can have my TV and surround system.
The rest of you fuckers can Thunderdome for my movie and music collection, and furniture.

That's right. The vertically challenged have to look out for each other.

A manlet falling is barely like falling at all. I wouldn't have bothered with the cleats.

This weather is getting to be bullshit. My RAM spent two days sitting in a FedEx warehouse in Newark and has been sitting in Memphis getting sprayed with deicing fluid and being runover by guys who never drove snowplows in their lives since Tuesday. There ain't no snow above the clouds; get those damn planes off the ground; I need more RAM, dang it!

BTW, sunny, high of 62F today, highs in the 70s for the weekend, and into the 80s next week. :p
My RAM is still sitting in Memphis.

Icy snow. Feels like daggers on my skin.

Finally got fed up and took snowblower in for repair.

Dunno if I told you guys but the fuckin thing was badly designed. They didnt design it with shear pins. They designed it so the auger belt slips off easily. Problem is its a bitch to get back on. Theres no tension pully. Its just a really tight fit and you cant get the belt on the way they describe in the manual. I tried stretching it just a bit in the hopes I could slip it back on quickly. Stupid thing broke so damn easy I wonder if it was designed poorly on purpose, to keep you buying parts.

The guys said they will do their best but it aint their specialty.

the high today is gonna be 50 degrees. No snow predicted for some time.
Guess I should have just taken my sweet time and fixed the snowblower myself.
