They need to just stop with this 1000 year event stuff. It is not a once in 1000 year event. It's a 1 in 1000 annual event probability. 1/10 of a percent annual probability. They got it almost right but had to add "year".

Retired Corps of Engineers guys' pet peeve.

Like them touting the 1993 Iowa floods as a 1-in-500 year event.......only for it to happen again in 2008?
 
I take a pretty circuitous route to avoid any particular winds but it wasn't bad today! Worse yesterday....during the emergency burn ban when the military fort up north did a controlled burn?!?!??! Ended as expected...

Mainly from a size 9 and a size 4 shoe on different feet. That’s the circular reason.
 
I'd be pissed about a half foot of snow right now.

My summer tires are on on their last summer. So, of course, they are on now or I'd totally drive over to St. Paul in the snow for some pic of Great Horned Owl owlets in the snow if the snow shoes were still on.
 
I was outside pretty much all day spectating, coaching and reffing soccer, not good. I'd estimate the girl was about 15 and she had reffed like 5 games in the cold, wind and rain. She was shaking uncontrollably. I didn't want her to do the game with us but she did. I think hypothermia was starting. I believe her mom had to come pick her up and she was crying.

Weather was not great for outdoors. All games and tourneys, at least for soccer, were cancelled today.
