Discussion: Central US Storm Kills 2 In Blast Of Snow, Ice And Wind

They’re calling it Winter storm Xanto. Winter storm? Shouldn’t it be called Spring storm Xanto???

Winds are really picking up here where I live. Ice and sleet have been falling but will pick up again tonight.

Stay safe folks.

So is this climate change or the wrath of the Almighty? You be the judge.
Stay safe folks, whatever you believe.

One of the things that climate change models predict is more variability. Whee.

Okay, Republicans, denying climate change may make for one less thing to worry about.

There’s still all the damage and disruption to deal with, though. How’s the federal budget set for doing more recovery spending?

Off topic. Did anyone else notice advertisement for a site selling “Confederate Flags as low as $6.98” on their TPM feed?

Stay safe and if the power stays on read a little history.
I’ve seen four feet of snow on 4 May South Dakota, me Mum reported her record Nebraska blizzard 22 May
Stay safe.

Paging Senator Inhofe, please pick up the white reality phone.

Nope, but the explanation is simply that ad-targeting algorithms (much like so many republicans) don’t understand the meaning of “no”. If some subject (or cluster of targetable words) comes up on a page, regardless of how negatively it’s portrayed, the ad targeter thinks that’s a good placement.

I mostly consider it a win-win – TPM gets the money, advertiser of pernicious stuff doesn’t get a sale.
