Winter Storm Harper is already pummeling parts of the West with heavy snow and will spread its mess of snow, ice and wind into the Plains, Midwest and Northeast into this weekend.

Harper's heaviest snow, so far, is in the Sierra Nevada of California. Early Thursday morning, Lone Pine, California, reported 5 inches of snow had fallen in just 2 hours.

That storm will tap into cold air once it moves through the central and eastern states Friday through the weekend, delivering a widespread swath of significant snow.

[...]

Winter storm watches and warnings and winter weather advisories have been posted by the National Weather Service from the northern and central Plains eastward through the southern Great Lakes and into the Northeast.

Cities included in the winter storm watches or warnings include Chicago, Milwaukee, Boston, Hartford, Providence, Pittsburgh, Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland and Des Moines.

In other words, air travel is going to be severely impacted with many delayed or cancelled flights. Even if your flight is not in the storm area, the plane may be delayed in coming from someplace that is. Better leave early on your tropical vacation.

    shilling

    What do you think I shill for? You've written this before, but have never specified what product I'm pushing. I mean, I laugh every time you say it, but it would be even funnier to hear you think I'm trying to push tide pods or something.

    astro-turfing

    Why do you think I would be astro-turfing soylent instead of reddit or something? Why would I contribute to the site by submitting stories, buying a subscription, and buying gift subscriptions for others here? The best answer seems to be that you don't know what "astro-turfing" means.

    conservative. Or a DINO,

    Wrong twice. For the record, I think of myself as a progressive in the Teddy Roosevelt, 1912 Progressive Party sense of the term, not in the 2019 sense of the term. (For those who aren't caught up on their American history, the Progressive Party of 1912, also known as the "Bull Moose Party," spawned the national park system, the FDA, child labor laws, Social Security, and every other useful advance for regular Americans that the FDR Democrats later appropriated.) In college, graduate school, and for a few years afterward I was a member and activist in the Green Party. When Howard Dean ran for president I registered as a Democrat, and was until Donna Brazile confirmed that Hillary and the DNC rigged the primary. Then I dropped my Dem registration and am now an independent.

    I voted for Trump because of the DNC primary rigging, because I know the Clintons are criminal, because Trump vowed to kill the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and because I thought it likely he would kick at least some of the power-elites in the nuts. He instantly killed the TPP when he assumed office, which is a gigantic win for Americans. Second, he has actually kicked DC's and the world's power-elites in the nuts, and I have been enjoying every minute of it. I would be most thrilled to see him throw Bill and Hillary in jail, but after 30 years of seeing them skate I'm not gonna hold my breath.

    There you have it, since you're so interested in Phoenix666 and his motivations.

    Maybe when you smurf up a little courage you can come out from behind the AC curtain and say all this like a man.
