***Official 2024 Weather Thread***
Of this Top-10 list, the only two that had multiple, separate 6"+ events were 1923, and 1893. 1888 was 17" all in one day. The top spot contains the Des Moines single day record, with 19.8 on New Year's Day of 1942. -
***Official 2024 Weather Thread***
Oh man, I have an entire chapter of the book on that day at work. Had a boss straight out of The Office at the time that added an extra carnival of insanity on top of the whole mess. Sometimes I still can't believe everything was on the up and up. We had to be in a sitcom or some hidden... -

Only a few years old as a product, so there have only been a couple around here. -

And how accurate can the forecast really be without yours truly involved? :jimlad: :jimlad: I kid, I kid. Mostly. -

Not my circus, not my monkeys anymore, but glad to see we're still *potentially* playing the hits around here. ;) -

MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***
I don't really want to get into stats fight here, and I don't really care much either way about the decision, but... Joe Ryan gives up homers left and right, he wasn't going to keep that lineup in the yard again anyway. Plus, that decision isn't why they lost. They lost because for the 5th...- FDWxMan

MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***
It's just odd that they immediately mentioned "Patella Tendon," kinda like they already know something. I mean, normally you just say "knee soreness". Calling out specific ligaments or tendons immediately usually is not a good sign. And that's s surgery that puts him out until at least the...- FDWxMan

I don't think it's completely unreasonable to at least start entertaining the idea that Buxton has played his last game in the majors.- FDWxMan

MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***
The interesting thing is with him having been unable to go at 100% at any point so far this year is when the truth will come out about what is wrong. If you've followed the right people, you can read between the lines that a lot of the beat guys have known something coming out of spring...- FDWxMan

Not many other ways to say it, except Buxton is just physically incapable of playing at full-go over any significant length of time. Can still be valuable, but "base-stealing Center Fielder" is a pipe dream, whether they'll explicitly say this eventually or not.- FDWxMan

Best employers in Central Iowa
The real holy grail is true PTO, rather than hard, vacation/sick buckets. The amount of wasted, use it or lose it, unconvertable sick time I flushed over 15 years is incredible. -

19z run is initiated at 19z or 2 PM. Still takes time to actually run the model, then get the output out. So the 3 PM (20z) model isn't going to be available immediately. That just denotes the time it started running. It won't show up on the sites until later. -
Iowa universities betting scandal
DCI involved with both Iowa and Iowa State. Gaming Commission says they have no evidence of game fixing. So underage bets, illegal/shared accounts found from IP address funny business seems likely to me for the criminal aspects.- FDWxMan

Iowa universities betting scandal
Murph literally started with "Today, Iowa State and Iowa both released statements that they're aware of violation allegations and they're investigating wrongdoing." He then spent 24 seconds on the ISU statement. After that, it was 61 seconds on the Iowa statement, suspensions and mention of...- FDWxMan

Yeah, I wonder if/when he'll show up in CF. Just seems to have been persistent chatter from some of the Twins Daily crew that he looks...odd...when he dials it up on the basepaths. But I can't watch, so I can't vouch.- FDWxMan

MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***
Can Buxton truly run though? Or will it just speed his inevitable season ending trip to the IL? Have actually watched about an inning an a half this year thanks to the blackout rules, but it seems like from what I read on Twitter he's constantly grimacing and laboring every time he legs an XB...- FDWxMan

Just don't seem like much more than a struggle to stay .500 team at this point. Lineup is disappointing.- FDWxMan

Dan Winters leaving WHO
Haha I'll still be around here. Definitely still some on-call and obviously work to do when it hits the fan, but going from being *the* guy 49/52 evening weekends to 1 out of every 4 is significant.
