Weather’s not just a Michigan thing. When we have stormy weather here in Texas, I may check the radar screens 4 or 5 times a day.

But right now, the weather forecasts sound like a skipping record.

I always check my email address, The Student Room, Straight Dope Message Board, as well as a couple of other forums.

Also have to check the status of some of my eBay items, and I usually visit the Neopets site as well.
