  • IF EVER there was truth in the maxim, Be Careful What You Wish For! So, my friend, count your blessings on this winter storm. Others not so lucky across the country are bracing tonight for "Catastrophic Power Outages of Extended Duration."

    I for one am happy I will sleep tonight after today's rains (sans thunderstorms!) in a warm bed, in a warm house, after a hot meal. If you don't like the weather, call Alan Journet.

  • Please forecasters, don't hype this next storm up, so we can be surprised. Can we hope that this will be THE storm of the season?

  • OK, I won't hype the next storm. I won't even mention that one of the computer models shows us getting 6 inches of snow next Monday. Nope, not a peep.

  • Now, now---I rather enjoyed my own little snow-shower, early this(Wednesday)morning. It looked "cute", as it curled-off the top of my pump-house roof!

    Now, I had a small-amount of ice Tuesday-night, at around 8-p.m., that stuck on the trees, poles, antennae, fences, etc.---but it wasn't much more than maybe an 8-th of an inch, at most.

    But, that WIND-was(is-still) somethin' else, in the "Comfort-Category"....!☺

  • And stop "sawing" on JAMES' rear-end, about hyping-it-up---can't you see he's being ironic/sarcastic about it, tryin' to find a little FUN in something that you have NO-control over, whatsoever?

    Y' wanna cut on somebody---go cut on "The Heartlands' Finest", at KFVS-12, where you find out what's "Live, Local, Late-Breaking", in Southern-Illinois, especially when it concerns the WEATHER.......!☺
