All south of here. Just diamond dust in the sunlight. Cold and windy, 12 degrees and NNW wind gusting to 34
 
Hey guess what??? If you live in the north it will get cold and we will get snow. Get over it cause there are bigger things to worry about such as the world coming to an end any minute now.

Or big O taking the Second Amendments and giving em to the Mexicans. Going way down tonight, 8-10 below with a strong Northerly. Glad I upgraded my stove system this fall. My Mother wants a Harman now. She's tired of the AES
 
One parting shot about Draco. it was what the local weatherman calls a "Panhandle hook" -- a storm out of the Southwest loaded with moisture. Up in the Great Lakes, the usual December storm is an "Alberta Clipper," a relatively dry storm out of the Northwest. I can remember Decembers when "clippers" would come in waves, riding a succession of Arctic air masses as winter settled in. In those years we wouldn't see a "hook" until late February or early March.
 
so now they are naming every patch of winter weather to sensationalize it I see on the storm channel. OMG with the warmer winters and less snow, draughts. everything will be a disaster/ state of emergency.
