weather
Rain has ceased for a while, but it's really windy now.
Morning, Glories! Lots of rain, flood stage, here in NE OK. Could be worse. Coulda been snow. Coulda been naders. Coulda been Dallas, God bless 'em.
Seamus Muldoon: So, it's supposed to be minus 3 degrees here tonight. I don't get that. How can you have a negative number of degrees?
Downtown park has a "fantasyland of lights," really cute displays, with twinkle lights portraying various Christmasy things, some animated, like Santa stuck in a chimney, the 12 days, snowman melti
A delightful 60° here in NE Oklahoma this morning. Yet, radio weather guys talk about heavy snow coming to the panhandle, on the far side of the state.
Morning, Glories! Thanks for starting us up, Krak. Thanks for the report, Vic.
Oboy, a cat video! I haven't seen one all day.
So, we've had days and days of clear skies, warm temperatures, sunny days and starry, starry nights.
Oh, yeah: Baby it's warm outside here in NE OK, too. 70° now, and days ahead in the 50s-60s, but cold nights return next week, sayeth the forecast.
I would've been first but I stopped to read the content.
Soona: We usually get tornados in the spring. Don't mistake "usually" with "always".
Soona: I'm not gloating. Mild temps in December usually means a fucked up January and February ......and a late spring.
Looking at that wintry landscape pic, I can't help but think...
Morning, Glories! Sunshine and warmth is the prediction for today. I'd say "unseasonable" warmth, but Oklahoma's season depends upon from which direction the wind is blowing.
Morning, Glories! ^2
Morning, Glories! Rain has moved in and won't stop 'til after Monday and I've got a bad roof leak. Freezing is only going to make it worse, too. Oh, joy.
"Last chance to sleep in" says our host post. Yeah, I did. Milady and I spent much of the night between sleeping and wakefulness.
Tonight's post brought to you by this blank space
Funny thing is, on my setup, with javascript and plug-ins turned off, all both the (presumably) videos are blank spaces.
Morning, Glories!
What city was it that was taxing the rain?
Y'all getting flooded can be glad, at least, you don't live there. Unless you do.
Greetings, glorious Horde. Jumping in w/o getting caught up on everybody's precious words. Yet.
MTF: ...Wait, I'm confused; what century is it again? This news writer seems to think it's the 20th....
Vic: ...I don't understand your comment....
J.J. Sefton: The Eldridge Cleaver cock sock?
Um, what a first reply to encounter! Are you being oblique or am I still asleep?
Fifty-one degrees this morning. Haven't seen 50s for many moons. I didn't just put on pants, I put on socks!
Morning, Glories!

Morning, Glorious offspring of our paternal Deity.
Thanks for an early early thread, Krak.
Morning, Glories!
Vic's news is posted and there's still no morning thread? This is getting bad. I blame global warming.
The steady spattering of a mild rain on the oak tree is mesmerizing white noise. Interrupted by rumbly thunder.
Thunder-rumbly mornings make my puppy unhappy.
Morning, Glories.
Virtual presence hereby established, I go to read comments. No, wait, first I go to turn on the coffee.
Wandered off, took a walk, fed the pets, read some news. And it's still overnight at Ace of Spades!
anon a mouse: Thought it would be warmer.
Heh. I have a theory it's all these people moving from colder climes, dragging the weather with them.
