No R's allowed!

But seriously, those TB'ers living in this area, please be careful. Stay home if you can, use extreme caution if you must go out. We want the same number of TB'ers (healthy/uninjured) before and after the snow storm.

Here's hoping for no loss of life... and that any TB'ers canceled gigs get made up!

Strange that a storm named "Nemo" would hit the fishing epicenter of our nation.

If there is a God...

So, are winter snowstorms getting names now? I don't remember this when I was young.

The Weather Channel is doing it. Not the National Weather Service. They've refused to recognize them.

They have named about 10 or 11 at this point; they claim they use it for the purpose of social media. Since they are a private company (I believe NBC is the major owner since 2008) they have steadily decreased the amount of actual weather on the channel and increased the amount of bull****.

Y'all seem worried. Did Ellen Degeneres tag along?

Livin' large in Greene Co. at the foot of the great Catskills. Fearing more what the wind brings than anything else...got some large trees very close to the house.

This is going to converge with an Alberta Clipper system and gain strength over the Atlantic off Nova Scotia before it lands here. Should be a pretty good one by the time it arrives.
