What video are you watching on YouTube?
I enjoy this podcast. The aging millennial couple actually has kids and still remembers how shopping used to be and in some cases what their parents had related to them. Who else talks about Christmas Clubs and layaway in this day and age? What a thought, huh? Saving up instead of buying on...- Jacob Petersheim

Cold Weather, Hot Drinks
Ordered some freeze-dried mushrooms. I'll buzz some of these to powder as another addition to "instant" cups of soup. I try to make these with half a bullion cube, but now I wish I'd picked up some premade stock since I'm not cooking a lot of meats. I use boiling water to halfway and mix, then...- Jacob Petersheim

What's your Weather like today
Static webcams and storm chasers have been giving us quite a view of conditions 90 miles to my West. Lake effect is dropping large flakes at over 2 inches/hour right along the coast since winds are light. Not much traffic, they know snow there so people aren't dumb. Pretty to watch through the...- Jacob Petersheim

Perfectly Frank -The HQ Collection
His character or closer to his real personality? Frank comes off a bit thuggish here. Good movie anyway though, especially if you are out of attractive options right now:- Jacob Petersheim

We're looking at a low about 12F tonight and staying cold now with 2 weeks of Alberta Clippers dropping more snow every 3 days or so. Glad I got out and scooped the heavy wet snowplow mush before it all turned to stone.- Jacob Petersheim

I think they also got burned on a few storms of various kinds in the last few years. So they hedge their bets and overstate conditions rather than be blamed when people go out and do stupid things.- Jacob Petersheim

What's your Weather like today
Well, about 4 more sloppy inches cleared. Warmed a little, so wetter snow. Now I dread the plows coming by and burying the base of the driveway. Snowblowers don't work on slushbergs. Still something snow-misting down at 10:30 this morning, not sure much will accumulate. Different snows have...- Jacob Petersheim

What is your favorite--metric, English standard, or something else?
I'm comfortable either way, but prefer F to C for indoor/outdoor temperatures.- Jacob Petersheim

What are you doing right now?
Trying to figure out what I might get people for Christmas. Usually I'm already done by now. Not that many to worry about, but it is always a bit weird and uncomfortable. I hate gift cards/certificates, but I never know sizes so clothing is pretty much out. And I hate to load people up with...- Jacob Petersheim

What's your Weather like today
Went out about 10:30 and ran the snowblower through maybe 3 inches of snow, perhaps closer to 2 1/2. I'm not even sure I expect to see much more out of this system here at home, so I lucked out pretty well. I think I have my pattern optimized again this season. Every year I seem to forget...- Jacob Petersheim

What's your Weather like today
I shouldn't need to get out for several days at least, but there are always emergencies I suppose, and I'm supposed to get some blood tests before a scan can be scheduled. Aside from that I need to clear the sidewalk to avoid a ticket and keep the mailbox clear if I want delivery. So no real...- Jacob Petersheim

Decided to nap, in case I had a heavy night ahead of attacking snowfall a couple inches at a time for multiple passes. 6 PM now though, and we have only minimal snow on the ground with none falling right now. Very fine particles/flakes, and they stuck to the ground. Maybe 1/4 inch deep but...- Jacob Petersheim

Suggest a forum board
Maybe "Words That Make You Think" with a thread for unusual words, new slang, etc. to discuss them? Example: Saeculum is a Latin word meaning "age" or "generation" that has several distinct meanings depending on context, including a period of long duration, a Roman historical time cycle, and a...- Jacob Petersheim

Cold Weather, Hot Drinks
Latest wacky ingredient for cup o' soup: powdered carrots. I'd bought some freeze-dried green peas and some diced carrots in cans for Winter time "can't get out" meal ingredients. Rather than wait until too late though, I opened these since I plan to use them over this Winter and not hold them...- Jacob Petersheim

I have a smaller electric snowblower, but with care (and frequent passes) I can generally manage large snows. In some cases the snow is more dry, fluffy, and light and a red plastic scoop shovel can be a more effective tool. It is fairly light, has a very sturdy wooden shaft as a plastic "D"...- Jacob Petersheim

Just below freezing here all day. Morning started out sunny and I got in the jalopy and made a grocery run ahead of the snow event coming this weekend. By the time I came out and loaded the car it was already clouding up for the drive home. Stopped at the pharmacy, got everything inside. Got my...- Jacob Petersheim

Metals, a Hedge or Investment Depending on Your Views... or a Sucker's Bet?
A lot of "inside baseball" here, but London bankers pulled a stunt overnight: This is just the latest crack in the global financial system run by the London-NY Axis, a major tentacle of what some call the Modern British Empire that Trump is actually battling.- Jacob Petersheim
