6. Snow is good, sleet sucks!
Try this site www.my-cast.com or www.weather.com

You can set both for several locations so you know what's ahead of you.

27. I like sleet, too. The messier the better.
:P

Thanks for the links. I use weather.com quite a bit, but I've never seen my-cast.com. Thanks. :)

www.weatherunderground.com is a good one, too.

17. Ok.
You should see the guy I have lined up right now. He wants to take me out for drinks, dinner and dancing, to the theatre, to art galleries, horseback riding at midnight, star gazing, picnics this spring, etc.
I'll let him know that we are a package deal. He's kinda kinky so he might like that.

Kid has an hour late start for school so she's still asleep. Otherwise, I'm just plain cold here today.

16. I've been staying out of them.
I can see both sides of the story. Some of the actions suck but I can understand the other side. (years of dispatching in law enforcement and having had an uncle who died while on duty). Most will do what they can to be able to go home at night and hug their children instead of having them see them lying in caskets.
When you are working in a job w/ that much pressure and not a ton of training you do the best you can. Sometimes it's not the right thing but it seemed like the best you could do at the time.

20. Overworked, understaffed and undertrained.
In many cases, underpaid.
They are real people w/ real problems-bills overdue, problems w/ kids, usually problems in their marriage(high divorce rate in law enforcement d/t money and worries about the job).
I'm a hardcore lib but one side I tend to go w/ the conservatives on is societies treatment of law enforcement. Maybe it's because these are the guys(and some women) that I worked w/ for years and spent offtime w/ too. Most are actually liberal-they just don't know it. Most want more options for mental health, laxer drug laws, more social services. Only a select few act like the Bosco character from Third Watch and those tend to be the newbies. Most really go into the field wanting to make a difference in society and get dragged down w/ the day to day. In many cases they are no different than a social worker-just in danger alot more often.
