    Stopped hearing the precip here at my apt and just figured it stopped. Read this post and looked outside and it's fucking heavy snow out there.

    He always fucks up Snow predictions. Outside of Severe Thunderstorms/Tornadoes predictions, don't pay attention to shit he forecasts.

    In defense of spann, the weather ballons the NWS put up indicated that nose of warm air a mile up was subsiding. It obviously didnt. Had it, we most assuredly would have had a few inches of snow rather than a quarter inch of sleet.

    Yeah I actually ended up leaving work at 11:00 and then driving her there around 12:00. I got home before everything hit. Do you know if the roads will get any better today? I think she may get trapped there tonight too.

    I live on a steep hill that doesn't get much sun. The hill and my driveway are still covered in ice. Two single cars wrecks this afternoon. Both cars are still there. Doubt I make it to work tomorrow

    Was trying to get to Avondale yesterday to retrieve my car. Couldn't get down Montclair because of Pawnee being a downhill sheet of ice. Crestwood Blvd was terrible as well. Had to take Oporto Madrid to 1st ave N down to 41st street.

    anybody used/have used a chiropractor?

    generally, how much do they cost per adjustment (i assume most insurance doesnt cover it) but my FSA does and i have a lot on mine this year due to reasons but chiropractor is covered and my back always hurts.
