5000S HD? That’s so 2013. The 7000SX Ultra HD came out a week ago and will be obsolete by tomorrow.

I don’t pay it much mind unless they can show it to me on
the “Super Dooper Whopper Doppler”, that’s when it gets real.

The company that made that machine went belly up after receiving millions of taxpayer dollars and high approvals from our wonderful government leaders.

What we call a “massive” winter storm a lot of states call a break, but shh, don’t tell SC that! Gotta flood Walmart to buy a bunch of useless shit so that local news can ramble on and on about it.

Coincidentally, I ran out of milk and was almost out of bread so stopped at the grocery store on way back from some errands. They had plenty of milk but I got the last loaf of whole wheat bread.

I got confused and sealed off the house with plastic and duct tape. I came out of it when I opened the door, and the postman wasn’t wearing a gas mask.

I don’t recall ever having a “boil water advisory”. And if you’re getting your water from a well, every day is probably a boil water advisory..you just don’t know it.
And sex isn’t so bad when you get old..its sex with older women that isn’t as fun.

This obviously means we must disband the national weather service. Who are they to put South Carolina under a winter storm warning? Waste of taxpayer money. George Washington certainly didn’t imagine a national weather service when he participated in the Constitutional Convention.

“Winter Storm Leon?” What gives you the impression this snow storm had a name? Since when have snow events EVER had names? Hurricanes and typhoons have names, given to them by the appropriate government agency. Snow storms do NOT have names. The National Weather Service (NWS) hasn’t named the snow, nor has the National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Neither the NWS, NOAA, nor anyone I know is referring to this weather system as “Leon.”

Oh, WAIT A MINUTE. You must be referring to The Weather Channel. Yes, in what can only be described as a shameless, pretentious publicity stunt, they have taken it upon themselves to start naming every snow event that comes along, and in the process they have become a bit of a laughingstock. Who knows? Maybe this summer, when things have started quieting down, they’ll start naming HEAT WAVES!

It makes you wonder how we ever survived the old days when snow was just called SNOW, not given a cute name by The Weather Channel, which is owned by NBC and not the government. Is it REALLY necessary to pander to their sense of self-importance?
