Forecast models are very little changed over past 24 hours, so it’s time to just sit back and see what happens. The consensus model still has us smack in the middle of the 12″-15″ range starting tomorrow and ending Monday morning. So, I’ll stick with that until proven wrong (or right).
Matt Jones’s TV weathercasters contest seemingly has aroused quite an interest around the state. It’ll be interesting to see the results. I’ve noticed quite a wide range with the forecasts. As always with the weather…we’ll see.
The best thing about the contest, beside bragging rights, is that some charity or charities will get a big bonus from the contest. I’m not eligible for the contest, but I can still throw in my two cents. My prediction is 14.5″ at SDF and 16.8 at LEX. That’s snowfall. My “accumulation” forecast is 13″ at SDF while LEX gets 15″.
Stuff:
The proverb, “None is so blind as one who will not see.” The Bible has an Old Testimate mention about this idea, but it came into English language usage in 1546 in a book by John Haywood. I am truly amazed that a large number of my fellow Americans still can’t overcome their “blindness”. We’ve suffered through a year now of a reincarnation of Hitler’s Storm Troopers/Brown Shirts. Lawless harassment of citizens and aliens including harsh physical treatment, separation of families, even MURDER happens under this regime of terror. Even the illegal perpetrators know what they are doing is wrong…why else would they wear masks? Then, there other things. How about ending SNAP, reducing Medicade, greatly reducing medical and scientific research, siccing JFK JR on us, invading/bombing foreign countries, and on and on. That’s horrible, but I haven’t mentioned LYING. Just continuous lying, lying, lying…Our Authoritarian leader opens his mouth, IT’s a LIE. Always! I can’t imagine anyone lying more, unless it’s his Press Secretary.
That’s just a small sample of what we’ve experienced during this lawless administration. Did I mention the constant lying? While this has been going on we’ve become the laughing stock of the world. Putin loves what’s happening. So does China. And the list goes on and on…bad idea after bad idea.
And yet roughly one-third of the American public sees no harm in our national disintegration. It is time to wake up and see the real world (not the FOX Entertainment one) and lose your “blindness.” It’s especially true for members of Congress. Remember, your Government is constantly lying to you! Oh, and whatever happened to the Epstein Files?
