I’m not trying to hate on anyone here but I’d like to see way less crud like post #2220 and more of the serious conversation posts.
This impending Arctic system has the means to affect millions across the US and obviously there will be tragedies and property damage for some and once again see no humor in this current situation. I get the need to throw out bits of humorous verbiage occasionally to break up the discussion but this is not the right topic thread for such behavior.
Countless groups and businesses and individuals are out preparing homes and infrastructures as I speak at their expenses and worrying about their fellow neighbors and families and friends in multiple locations. My personal list is huge of things I need to do and help others get ready for and one of the aforementioned things is that of a dear friend that has a daughter-in-law that is very near pregnancy completion in the Conroe area. And god forbid that this system takes power out at her place and the roads are difficult to navigate from and ice or sleet it’s going to be important to get to her to keep her and the future kiddo warm immediately. We all remember too well what transpired in 2021 in Texas.
Please keep the seriousness of this conversation at the forefront and post good informative content only. I pray for everyone’s health and property here and wish everyone the best over the next several days.

As a mother of 8 and a grandmother of 18, all of whom reside in Texas, no one takes these weather predictions more seriously than I do. I lost a son in February of last year during inclement weather in Fort Worth. He died on impact (the accident was not his fault).
vxskaxv, While I appreciate your role as a “volunteer first responder”, last year the world lost an army vet, I lost a child, and my 14-year-old grand daughter lost her daddy. I know better than most that sometimes, humor is the best form of medicine.
While your concerns over the upcoming event is palpable, calling out the poster on #2220 is not. I am in 100% agreement with cheezyWXguy‘s response to you. The moderators have a job to do, and they do it consistently and their efforts are above reproach.
We have a certain comradery on this forum due to the length of time most of us have spent here. I know it’s acceptable to make fun of a certain Houston Heat Miser cyclist, and nobody (including him) is going to be offended. We can laugh at wonky model runs and get nervous when we think it’s a valid run. We all know the potential seriousness of the upcoming event. We are also very passionate about alerting others of the potential risks. In my opinion, Storm2K is exemplary. If vxskaxv finds our humor distasteful, feel free to hop off.
All that being said, as I approach the one year anniversary of my son’s death, a note to my Storm2K family: Don’t change a thing!
My condolences. You are a strong woman to see humor as medicine and I pray for your family and grandkids.
Thank you for the post.
