You guys on the northern tier, particularly in the northern Rocky Mountain
states (i.e., Wyoming and the Dakotas), are going to get hit with some
cold, courtesy of ex-Super Typhoon Nuri, which has since bombed into a
spectacular extratropical storm in the Bering Sea.

It did, however, inspire a wild idea: Purchase a tractor and trailer and
use those to move to Indiana. Then I could have another source of income
once I got there.
I'm sure there are many requirements to this that I don't know. I think
such vehicles need to be inspected, but I'm not sure.
The weather forecast here in northern Maine is interesting, they're telling us
how cold it could be based on Nuri but then mention it'll probably rain by
Wednesday. Temps are hovering just around freezing.
I'm going to quit listening to the weather on NPR, they predicted it would snow
all day

Strangely, the massive storm has been whipping the tail end of the alutian

Anchorage are at least 10* f higher than normal. The snow keeps getting pushed

And NPR gets its weather from the national weather service or one of
the weather channels, just like everyone else.
Weather is a chaotic system, prediction is very difficult, especially
when it comes to transition zones like the border between wet melting
snow and wet accumulating snow.
Only in America would anyone suggest that NPR is biased progressive.
My impression is that they bend over backward to accomadate complete
drivel from the radical right.
In spite of that, they are the very best source for unbiased news
around with the possible exception of the BBC, since
my bleeding heart neighbor thinks they are a flock of navel gazing high school
newspaper reporters. Whiny voiced, drivel talking ninnies. I can not figure
