I've lost all respect for the Weather Channel with the winter storm naming crap. Nothing more than a marketing/ratings scheme. Really? Winter Storm Nemo? It's ridiculous.

In Kansas a hot tub is a bathtub, like on those boner medicine commercials, heated by a propane tank normally used to make moonshine.

SNOW OR GET OFF THE POT

Tired of these squalls during rush hour that don't amount to anything. If you're gonna snow, snow.

[mac5155]

I know for real. Sick of a dusting every day. All it does is slow people down for no reason.

[Letang Is The Truth]

[Kovy27]

So, what's up with the ice storm tomorrow?

Thundersnow here in Kansas! So cool. 12+ inches forecasted. Hot tub weather.

2 1/2 inches in less than two hours, and it's only supposed to get worse.

No. It was above freezing and everything was just wet. It is very overcast, and I'm not sure if the temps are supposed to drop or not, but if they don't, the there will be no ice storms today, just rain.
