I remember looking at the radar and seeing a green stretch with a big red blob in it with a purple circle in the middle of that and a black circle in the middle of the purple circle, meaning no rain there, just a see-through area that showed down to the color of the base …

Winter Storm Fern
Let me just preface this by saying i was aware winter storm Fern was coming. She wasnt a surprise. Everyone in a 500 mile radius was running around panicking buying every single item in every grocery store whether it was foot fungus cream or light bulbs. They just felt we needed to buy.

A Pop-up Storm from the South

An Unusually Prolific Hail Season

Not the Day to Buy a Lottery Ticket
I was inside the house having a popsicle to cool down after mowing the lawn. I had just finished a strawberry one and got up to throw away the stick. As i walked across the room it was as if the light left with me, as if a sheet had been quickly pulled over the …
