They'll close school for anything. Don't blame them I guess - it's all taxpayer funded. Roads are fine lmao
Most listed closed are private schools.
Which kind of makes it look like Catholics are disproportionately scared of snow.

I checked the weather yesterday and no weather app had said it would snow this much today. Can’t trust any weather source, but would say AccuWeather and WeatherNetwork are the closest to being accurate. Should never trust the default weather app on the iPhone for sure.
I did not see this forecast anywhere either. I just checked and it is predicting snow tomorrow night too now. Before I saw Monday was clear and snow on Tues.

Bottom line is, what a stupid position to be caught in. This should be between the US and China. Leave us out of it.
This is an abuse of the courtesy of an extradition treaty. Extradition usually reserved for those charged, evading crimes. In this case, no one knew the charges until she appeared in court. That's not solid enough for Canada to get caught up in this. Complete BS by the US.

Note also the timing. She was arrested on 1 December: the day Xi Jinping and Donald Trump sat down to dinner in Buenos Aires. No one in China will see this as anything other than intensely political, whatever the truth of the matter. Diplomats have demanded her release and say she has broken no laws.
Reports say the arrest relates to allegations that Huawei has breached US sanctions on exports to Iran; US prosecutors began an investigation two years ago. Last year, ZTE, another Chinese telecoms firm, pleaded guilty to sanctions violations. A devastating US ban on the sale of parts and software to the firm was downgraded to an $892m fine and monitoring after Mr Trump’s intervention. No one was detained that time. So why an arrest, why her and why now? -
The US itself is currently violating it's own sanctions with Iran. We wouldn't hold a US citizen by request of the Chinese Government under the same circumstances. Seems to me like America is overstepping borders when they don't have any authority to uphold policies which they can't even agree on domestically.

Partisanship aside in 30 years we have not progressed.
1998 "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"
2018 "I never sexually assaulted anyone in high school or at any other time"

It was like watching a bad movie. And the villains were played by Kavanaugh, Graham and Grassley. It didn't seem real. If it was a movie, it would be so overly cliche, it wouldn't be believable.

Amka Aliyak, a.k.a. Snowguard.
Inuit teenager from Pangnirtung, Nunavut
Amka's superhero identity, Snowguard, will be introduced in Champions #21 in late June. Her new abilities, powered by an Inuit spirit/force called "Sila," allow her to shapeshift and take on animal traits.

Because it is an Infinity Gonetlet, not an Infinity Creatlet.
I just got that. That's a Drax level pun.

Enjoyed Infinity War.
But if Thanos has such great power why can't he simply create more resources to feed the existing population or create new planets and whatnot?

Not much sympathy for the oil industry at the moment...

FWIW stick in rink.
But for a change, I would love to see the Orange/Black V. It's simple but it works.
I saw this toy online and only saw Canucks colours.

I'm guessing by next Christmas, it will be easier to buy from someone like Alibaba with bitcoin than from Amazon in the US by credit card. Just a guess. I think it comes down to the processing fee/time. A company big enough could absorb the risks.
Apparently the Chinese government has been attempting to ban bitcoin. But it's grown even more popular. The already had peer-to-peer bitcoin transactions built in their most popular WeChat app, which has been targeted by the government since about September.

Disappointed about GT7/GT Sport being multiplayer focused... I thought GT7 and GT Sport were going to be different games.. I don't have time for multiplayer, nor the interest in it. I was really looking forward to playing it since I haven't played the series since GT4 back in the mid 00s..
Am also not much of a multiplayer fan but have to admit GT Sport mode is simply revolutionary.
For any racing fan looking to compete, I recommend it. If you like winning, I do not. It's teaching people how to race fairly and as far as I've seen it's working. Finishing clean rewards you more than trying to finishing 1st. Those with low Sportsmanship ratings get entered with other of similar rank. So unless you learn to drive clean you don't get to race better drivers.
Anyways, they just announced the Dec. update will include classic single player Cups (Sunday Cup, Boxer Spirit, etc..). http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gtsport/news/00_4451949.html
Also 15 new cars coming in Nov-Dec.

Century Link field has no rain cover at all. That's nuts.

6.1 earthquake off the coast of Japan, again. I hope it's tame.
Pacific ring of fire is really active lately.

I came across this world emergency map. It's worth bookmarking.

According to some the end game in Syria is a US - Russia conflict.
It's going to come down to whether America decides to go to war or not. Or more specifically whether Americans who oppose have any say in the matter.
So you have a Trump reality + emboldened right-wing + a record number of apathetic non-voters... do the math. Celebrity anti-war commercials aren't going to cut it anymore.
Those who seek to gain in the aftermath want to see it happen. The rest of us are suckers for letting it happen.

Kind of wish could get Nick Suzuki this draft and Ryan Suzuki next year.
Would be great to have brothers, except this time one shoots right, the other left. But it would be impossible to pull off with confidence.
OMG Snow?

But that's what the Porsche Cayenne was designed for.
