There was a time in this country when a snow storm didn’t throw airline travel into a tailspin for 2 - 3 days.  The Atlanta airport was just crazy.  More on this later. Rick Santelli’s rant that got so much publicity may have been planned.  Right wing billionaires were probably behind...

I'm one of those people that pretty much dislikes HUMMERs. I don't really like how they look, how big they are, how they consume resources, or how their owners usually drive them -  with that "I will roll over you like the Terminator and keep going as though I didn't notice" attitude....

I read this over at the NOAA weather web site. They are predicting some potentially very dangerous weather Saturday and Sunday. Many of us can remember the last ice storm that killed a few people, knocked out power for day to weeks and sent southwest Washington into a beautiful ice locked hell. It i...

Lesson from Saturday: if the temperatures are below zero, and the wind chill factor is clocking in at about -25, do not - repeat, DO NOT - attempt to pump gas without gloves. It hurts. For the five or seven seconds that my fingers were touching the metallic handle, it felt like fire down to the bone...

Nunaka Valley Park,Anchorage, Alaska.26 April 2008.Nikon D70s. It's the Next Day. The Day After.  We did, in fact, kick 1952's snow record of 1.8 inches in the ass. Right now, in our yard, we've got twenty inches of fresh snow.  Nunaka Valley Park, near our house, has eighteen inches. ...

From Lori: Okay, when I posted this, I didn't know I was pissing off the weather gods.  Three-five more inches of snow today and tonight in Anchorage.  In late April. Weird....

Filed under: United States, Transportation, Airports, News Catherine mentioned in her latest Gadling Take 5 post that it's breaking up in Alaska where she lives. It's socking in in Ohio. This is the first blizzard warning we've had in central Ohio for years. Streets are a real mess--so is Port Colum...

I'm going to start this post out saying that I am totally ok, not injured, and more ticked off than shaken. St Louis has has a crapload of snow today. (Biggest storm of the freaking winter? In March?) The part of west St Louis county I live in got about 9-10 inches of snow. Unfortunately, the snow p...

We are still under the Winter Storm Warning until 6:00 tomorrow morning. As of now, we have about 24 inches of snow. It was forcasted to be between 8 and 14 inches. Damn damn damn....

This is the view from downtown Stevens Point, Wisconsin this afternoon -- short blasts of ice and snow slowly building up into howling crescendos of pure artic fury.  I saw the wind change from kindly "snake" patterns of drifting snow to full bodied blasts that slap your face no matter what dir...
