Might be the best storm so far this season for the Summit County mountains/Eldora/Winter Park. Looks like basically everyone there got a footer, and it's not done yet!

More water today in Denver than the previous 55 days combined. Wettest day in 6+ months. And we're not done yet.

Oh, more statistics abuse.

1. No mention of the margin of error on any of these;
2. You can't compare a survey by Y with a survey by Z - too many differences in methodology;
3. Aggregator surveys are statistical πŸ’©

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Mountains will have steady snow tomorrow, likely heaviest tomorrow morning (with snow squall potential as well). Snow gradually ends in the mountains tomorrow night.

5-10"+ above 9,000'. Should be a powder day for most ski resorts tomorrow + Saturday.

"It was a monstrous beast, measuring well over two feet in length."

My dear Watson, two feet in length is not a monstrous size for an owl.

I wrote a letter to the editor about not going to war in the Middle East when I was an undergraduate in the 1970s. (Yes, almost half a century ago.) Obviously I did not word it strongly enough.

Mathematicians have to wear blinders and earplugs. Otherwise they might see or hear all the commercials that say their product is 3 times (faster, stronger, whiter) and run out of the room screaming "compared to what?"
