haven't stopped laughing at how true this is.

Michael MacIntyreis an interesting comedian. It goes back to our conversations not long ago about Jimmy Care, Tim Allen etc. MacIntyre is like Tim Allen in the sense he is a family friendly comedian. But he really is disliked in the UK by other comedians because they see him as a sell out or something. But the guy has great observational humor. His jokes on the surface are super mundane but they are really funny. He does a sketch about how people vacuum which is good and his one about the random drawer that everyone has that's full of old keys, used batteries, random socks is great too. I've been to see him live once and he was really fantastic.

30cm in just the last 3 hours. The worst is still yet to come. State of emergency declared. This is f***ed up.

Sunny skies on the West Coast of the island 
This is the least amount of snowfall I have seen for the middle of January in my 25 years here now.
Funny because especially after this storm in town, it'll probably be the most snow they've ever had in a winter.

They also just declared a state of emergency in St. John's as of 11:00.
140 km winds is going to cause some crazy damage especially with the snow blowing around.

The winter in Finland has been very weird. We should be in the middle of the coldest period right now but it's been raining and the -20's hit in like November or something.

Yep. Now today NS is getting 100km winds, the walk across the parking lot at 6am this morning was brutal. Haven't been in the Maritimes for winter since 2014 and this is what I get... Crazy.

Our winds are up around 120 now and still
will climb a fair bit. 47CM down. 40ish still to come. It’s essentially hurricane igor again but this time with record breaking snow added to it.

I suspect it has something to do with the giants who live around various woodland geological formations and move large boulders around.It's because of the methane gas given off by all the polar bears...

Weather is one of those simple pleasures in life for me. There's something so insanely beautifully terrifying about major weather events.
I'm the same way.
One of the things I'd definitely have included on a "bucket list" for myself would be a road trip through the Mid-West US States during peak Tornado season. Chasing a tornado live would be such an exhilarating experience IMO.
I've always had a major fascination with weather. I think if Mun had a meteorology program I probably would have done that instead of business.

That's what I'm taking now in university, or at least in that world. It's a very complex rabbit hole but interesting as f***.

I've lived around tornados most of my life at this point... really not missing much with them. Mostly only show up for short spurts and just dump a bunch of hail. Much ado about nothing... until they aren't and destroy 5 towns.

Weather is messed up where I live. In November we had about nine hours of sun (was one hour up until the 28th, but some sun late in the month meant we missed the record). In December we had record amounts of rain. Now in January we have record temperatures (warmer than normal).
Abnormal is the new normal.

Man, Mangini's polyrhythms on the Finally Free outro were so out there they were borderline bad.

Awesome. I got into the second row, so I had clear view of the stage. Caught myself with a shit eating grin more than once just watching some of that stuff happen.
The Spirit Carries On was awesome.
Lol so this is going to be weird, but The Spirit Carries On is like the only song I don't like on that album. I know I know, I am an idiot.
Did they play the nineteen minute version of Beyond This Life? This version...
