I thought it was 10am on the first Tuesday of the month and then realized it wasn't.

It was very confusing. What the hell?

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

There was definitely a return on the radar that was worth issuing a Tornado Warning for.

Ed set the weights down long enough to Tweet something?

Must have been serious. That guy fascinates me. He's got interests.

A trained spotter confirmed that a brief tornado touched down near Washington St and Warrenville Rd in the Herrick Lake Forest Preserve area in DuPage county at 9:56am this morning.

Who trained him? Is there a spotter training progam?

Yes; https://www.weather.gov/ilx/spotter

I am a trained spotter, but its been a few years so I probably should go to one of these again.
You call in and report what you see. I think I've called like 3 times to report a wall cloud and rotation. Still haven't seen a tornado myself, though in fairness I don't get out and chase like Slappy does.

These reports from spotters and law enforcement coupled with radar returns gives the NWS near real time info as to where a storm might be located or roads that might be flooded out, and they can issue or update warnings accordingly.

Looks like we could get a bunch of snow Friday, or maybe a little, or maybe rain, or maybe a lot of rain. Windy too.

* WHAT...RAIN CHANGING TO HEAVY WET SNOW POSSIBLE. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF UP TO 5 TO 8 INCHES POSSIBLE. WINDS COULD GUST AS HIGH AS 45 MPH.

* WHERE...PORTIONS OF CENTRAL, EAST CENTRAL, NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA.

* IMPACTS...TRAVEL COULD BE VERY DIFFICULT. THE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS ARE MOST LIKELY TO IMPACT THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING COMMUTES.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...SNOWFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR ARE POSSIBLE FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH A NARROW ZONE WHICH WILL ALLOW SNOW TO ACCUMULATE ON MOST ROAD SURFACES. ADDITIONALLY, THE HEAVY, WET NATURE OF SNOW COMBINED WITH THE STRONG WINDS WILL LEAD TO A POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES WHERE THE HEAVIEST SNOW FALLS.

EXACTLY WHERE THE HEAVIEST SNOW FALLS DEPENDS ON THE STORM'S EXACT TRACK. OF THIS THERE IS STILL CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY. IT DOES APPEAR THAT ALMOST ALL OF NORTHEAST ILLINOIS WILL EXPERIENCE AT LEAST SOME WINTER PRECIPITATION.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS FOR UPDATES ON THIS SITUATION.

We lose a lot of rights when we look the other way when it doesn't affect our lives or it isn't a cause we agree with.

Trending towards bustville.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

Skilling just wrote a small book and posted like 35 pictures on this storm tomorrow if anyone cares;

I used to think that he was an odd joke. Then I heard that he made as much advising commodities traders and big commercial farmers and realized how much he may in fact have with his late hustler brother. I'm sure he'll make a quick killing. Good for him.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Late brother? Jeff Skilling is still alive and back in business. I think you're mixing him up with Ken Lay.
