Remember 6 or so years ago when they ran an article about how an upcoming solar eclipse would be visible to more Trump states than Hilary ones?When does CNN get its own lolcow thread? Here is how they describe a cold front. Happens several times, every year. An "involuntary polar plunge".
Storms are "bombs" of some sort or the other. Everything has to be extreme and intense.
Goddamn, it's going to be ten to twenty degrees Fahrenheit colder than average for about two days.
What even were they trying to prove with that?
It's almost like they were saying "it's a natural phenomenon, not something from Revelations, so when it happens, don't sacrifice a virgin or leave your car running in traffic because you ran off to be raptured something stupid, you feckless rednecks" without actually saying it....
Anyway..... my first job after getting my CDL back in September was a winter seasonal position with the Highway Dept. plowing snow and doing assorted "winter maintenance" It's a temp job (just wanted to stick a toe-in-the-water and see how it went) and the contract runs out in March.
Got my assessment from the supervising foreman this week and earned an "above average" grade and a recommendation to be hired back or offered full-time work should a position open with retained seniority. Cool!
I'm not allowed to photograph my work truck, but, there's truck-spotters out there just like trainspotters who actually managed to get a picture of it (or, one just like it, they all look the same anyway)
Really, my only goal was not murdering some poor person's mailbox with that plow while I was still green.
