Maps show where winter storm threatens to bring heavy snow, brutal cold this weekend
I sympathize with my former colleagues. A snow-pocalypse over the weekend doesn’t help at all. If this hit on Monday, they might get two snow days out of it.

NPR: The ICE surge is fueling fear and anxiety among Twin Cities children
I like to listen to NPR when I wake up, and am still half-asleep. The mellow reporter lulls be back to sleep, or there is a story so delightfully melodramatic, that I am awake and ready to join the world.
“Every single patient I saw yesterday, we had some discussion over the increased stress, trauma, worry, anxiety, depression that is stemming from the presence of ICE in our communities,” says Dr. Razaan Byrne, a Minneapolis-based pediatrician at Children’s Minnesota, a pediatric health system.
Governor Walz and Mayor Frey are encouraging the locals to resist and impede federal law enforcement, and the locals are dragging their children along as props to these little rebellions, and I’m supposed to be moved. I can only laugh and wonder.
I just watched President Trump make his pitch for Greenland at the WEF in Davos. This is serious, and Trump isn’t letting this go.
Greenland must be good for something.
It’s 50 times bigger than regular Denmark, so they need it to maintain a significant footprint on the globe. If the US owns Greenland, Canada feels claustrophobic, but otherwise, who cares?
Whatever resources or strategic advantages there are in Greenland, the US can access with a long-term lease. The US maintains Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba, and we don’t even like them. If an American thinks about Denmark, we think of those butter cookies in the blue cookie tin or we are thinking about the Netherlands by mistake.
Trump has a Greenland strategy that isn’t obvious, but we don’t need to be concerned.
What percent of the population works for the federal government?
The federal government employees the smallest percentage of the workforce in at least the last 80 years. That’s extra impressive considering how much President Trump has gotten accomplished.
Two Tier Keir Has a Problem Called ‘Waifu Amelia’ and It Is Screamingly Funny
Somebody has to stand up for The Land of Hope and Glory, and it’s a fictional, purple-haired anime girl named Amelia.
Sparky says this is a high-traffic pinch point because it’s the easiest way to get passed the highway fence. If I can get him a Mosin–Nagant, he says the coyote problem will be resolved.
Karl may have one. Hell, Karl may have Häyhä old rifle. He collects all kinds of stuff, and has a good opinion of Sparky. Karl could have a Suomi KP/-31, but he’d never let a dog use a submachine gun.
We had a thunder blizzard for a few minutes today. Sparky says that thunder and lightning don’t frighten him, but it does get him keyed up and ready for action.
When we went outside, Sparky went all winter wolf. Now he wants me to make him a winter camo jacket like a Finnish sniper.
In this photo, he looks more like a Swedish meatball.
