The National Guard was blowing stuff up yesterday. We thought it was thunder. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > The National Guard was blowing stuff up yesterday. We thought it was thunder. We regularly hear distant thunder on clear days here in the central Sierra Nevada range. How distant? A neighbor checked timings and determined the source to be a US Army munitions depot 100+ miles across the mountains. ---

The last time I heard a thunderous boom a truck carrying fertilizer blew up some 15 miles from my house (as the crow flies) I live in a log house and I swear the logs rattled. It made my ears feel funny and my knees got wiggly. Left a huge crater on the road. ---

Another day in the 60s. .9" yesterday. A fresh batch of T-storms predicted today. No serious storm alerts other than flash flood watches. Ya think? ---

This is my first winter in Edmonton, AB. This morning, we woke up to a temperature of -38F :eek:. I grew up in Texas- this is alien to me. ---

I heard of a fellow who tired of North Dakota winters. He tied a snowblower to his car roof and drove south. He figured when people would point at it and ask, “What’s that?” then he’d gone far enough. ---

Ha! That’s a good one. It was foggy as _hell_ last night here (Dallas) like I mean, that deep dense muffling blanket. Probably a bunch of car accidents, too. I’m supposed to move to Michigan next week … and I hear they’re getting some big storm this weekend? Fuck me!
