 | Radar is totally empty, except for the thunderstorm directly over my house. That's an interesting feeling--HOLY SHIT THAT'S LOUD how do I still have power? |

|  Pretty. Pretty hot, I mean - Mississippi River Gorge Scenic Overlook (Saint Paul, MN) |

| I'm too hot to care. I have resisted as long as I could. Yes....I've dragged the window AC unit from the attic to my bedroom window. Now... I just have to find the right way to break it to Kris that he can't sleep in my bed tonight |

| Time for the weekly look out the window

| THUNDER SNOW! |

| Wow, so it was FIVE years until I unboxed and assembled this rake! Not that it did me any good, since I didn't also knock down my next door neighbour's cord-cutting deathsicles. Lessons learned |
| 23.2 17:24 |
| I loooooooooooove that it was warm enough to sit on my porch for a while. So what if there's another blizzard a few hours away? At this point I'll take what I can get :) |

| I don't wanna say the weather's been sucking, but since Sunday I've done all my laundry and watched 30 episodes of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" |
| 4.2 18:59 |
| It's not that I'm afraid of ice; I'm just afraid of breaking both my ankles and my car |
| 30.1 03:13 |
| My house being built in 1910 (if Hennepin County is to be believed) only half explains the super interesting noises I've heard it make tonight surrounded by -27ºF outdoor air |
| 30.1 02:32 |
|  | We've hit the forecast low, but have we truly bottomed out yet? STAY TUNED #mspwx |

|  | Below -20, the old transmitter goes offline |
|

| I never thought I'D be the one saying this, but... don't feel that just because it's stupid cold you need to go do something stupid |
| 21.9 15:11 |
| I'm drinking hot tea. Is summer over? |
| 18.9 03:57 |
| Sheesh, rain usually HELPS me sleep! But gunshot cracks of thunder are almost always super unwelcome. SO. I'm gonna listen to "The Sicilian Defense" for the first time and see if that helps (because you only learn about lost Alan Parsons Project albums at 3.30 in the morning, but you can find them online by 3.31...) |
| 18.9 03:24 |
| OK NOW I'm awake 🌩️ |

|  Gotta get my freebies (and some salad) but first... an extended stay in the refrigerated beer section - Cub Foods (Saint Louis Park, MN) |

|  | I don't know how accurate these readings are but I'm definitely getting the F outta this house and into a lake STAT - c ya! |

|  | Update: NOPE |
|
| 16.4.18 11:35 |
|  | Official measurement from the back steps. I'm ALMOST over it. Now, let's see if I can actually get to work or not... |
|
| 14.4.18 17:14 |
| Nope. I just can't. I have just enough Chex to make another batch of Chex Mix, though, and I do have pizza rolls, so I should be OK. No beer but plenty of cocktail ingredients. Lots of NBA & NHL Playoffs. Several stacks of records I haven't listened to. Still, I hope our largely inept plow operator will have shown up to do the alley (while not leaving a wall of snow against my garage door in the process) by the time I feel like escaping for the Pokémon GO Community Day event tomorrow. Otherwise....I dunno, see ya Monday? Stay safe y'all |
| 14.4.18 15:07 |
|  | Yes obviously I slept 12 hours in bed because I'm ready for the effing snow today, effing effbook |
|
| 13.4.18 21:30 |

| FURTHER ADVENTURES IN COMMUTING: Last night, the alley was NOT plowed. One of my neighbours told me she wasn't even gonna try to go out and she seemed way wiser than me, but I have this devotion to my job that I can't quite explain, so I did some more digging and miraculously made it over the bump in the alley, then did a lot of driving while praying that I wouldn't strand myself on any of the three unplowed streets between me and Franklin Ave SE, because dummy forgot to put a shovel in the passenger seat. I did have to do some back-and-forth on one of the turns but previous vehicles' tracks were generally enough to get me there after I disabled the ASR (which I'd sure wished I'd remembered to do when I was in the alley LAST night). Really happy to make it to the plowed streets AND the freeway, except when I'd hit 40 mph, when my snow-filled tires would start doing the scary chattering thing and I'd have to slow it back down. This wasn't a problem when I hit the 35W, where traffic had been cut to one lane due to - get this - a Metro bus facing the wrong way being pulled out of the median ditch. Somehow I was only 20 minutes late for this conference call which turns out to be just exciting enough for me to also type this while it's going on - ooh, maybe shouldn't admit that. Very hopeful our missing Mr. Plow shows his blade before I have to try to get back into the garage later. (Also that Minneapolis comes through my hood, because it's "even side of the street" plow day) |

| RT : We won’t have any bands playing tonight because it’s stupid outside. |
| 22.1.18 17:54 |
| Google thinks my 6.4 mile escape from Roseville - sorry, "commute" - will take ONLY 16 minutes. I'm betting the over (thinking 30) but would be delighted if they knew better than me this time... PLACE BETS NOW |

| RT : ICYMI: A Snow Emergency has been declared. Day 1 rules go into effect at 9 p.m. tonight. http://news.minneapolismn.gov/2018/01/22/minneapolis-declares-snow-emergency-2/ |

|  | Seriously, lookit this nonsense #mspwx |
|
| 2.12.17 17:42 |
| I mulched the leaves!
Well, most of the leaves.
Well, enough of the leaves.
It can snow now. |
| 2.10.17 17:59 |
| Upon further review, this weather is not exactly conducive to me walking to Nomad from home |
| 14.9.17 15:51 |
| It's 90º so I'm going to that beach I'm the mayor of |
| 28.5.17 20:33 |
| Ah, THERE'S the rain |
| 20.5.17 18:38 |
| Turned the boiler back on #brr |
| 16.5.17 14:57 |
| From the looks of my FB timeline, I'm the only person in Minneapolis who slept through the big thunder and expect my medal will be arriving shortly |
| 15.5.17 13:12 |
| I wonder if I can go get the beef jerky out of my car without it raining on me |
| 14.5.17 17:22 |
|  | We have 86°! #mspwx |
|
| 14.5.17 15:53 |
|  | It's 85° so I pushed this button for the first time this year #mspwx |
|
| 18.1.17 21:15 |
| It's warm enough to wash my hair, right? |
| 18.1.17 15:16 |
| Shoot, it's SHORTS weather |
| 16.1.17 21:06 |
| Scary icy tonight, already. Be careful if you have to navigate! |
| 26.12.16 02:22 |
| On the one hand, some of the thermometers tell me it's frickin' 40º right now (which is shorts weather, let's be honest) despite it being in the 0200 hour, but on the other hand the wind is REALLY whipping up to the point where I can hear it quite easily from inside the house. I have a hunch that everything outside's going to be covered in a sheet of glazed ice by the time I really wake up later. Fortunately, I'm not working this week! |

| Winter is here - just gave my first eye roll to an Arthur Ave SE cross country skiier |
