Last week I complained about an El Nino moderating the weather so that I wouldn’t get a chance to test my new Glock’s worth of tires.
That was dumb.
Here is my six day forecast

It looks as though I’ll be testing the “Ice Traction” for the next week or thereabouts.
Better get out that snow shovel to remove that “moderate el nino” from your sidewalk & driveway, because “global warming” ain’t gonna take it away for a week at least.
Think you can hire any of those strolling thugs wandering your block to shovel snow?
OK, I’ll stop holding my breath now, you can send the paramedics back.
Hahaha – I seem to recall pointing out that they would come in handy at some point 😉
I consider this week to be conditioning for me, since I am off to (brrrr) Fargo, ND on Sunday. Now THAT will be cold!
Down here in OK we’re looking at freezing rain Friday night/Saturday, then maybe some snow after that ends. Then temps in the teens & twenties most of next week.
Have I ever mentioned that getting to work on ice sucks?
