This Morning’s Bulletin — 2.16.15
Good Morning!
• Here’s the skinny on today’s ridiculous cold snap, which should abate slightly later on: Today we’re expecting a high near 18 degrees with wind chills between -10 and -20 degrees. Tonight, the thermometer will dip down to 8 degrees, but the wind will also die down so it is expected to feel like between -5 and zero degrees. Tomorrow, we’re expecting 2 to 4 inches of snow, with a high of 26 and wind chills between 5 and 15 degrees. Tuesday night, we’re expecting a low around 7 degrees and on Wednesday we may see some light snow with a high around 29.

And that’s the way things look at dawn’s light here today.
Like the picture tag. Will Admiral Jellicoe sally forth from the Truman’s Froth (sic Firth of Froth) to engage the Imperial German Navy at Jutland ? (At the end of Jutland Road in North Sea. Just up the road from Otto’s Nord Zee Delakitasen, North Sea Road. Southampton. LOL
Ha! Great!
The Battle of Jutland, written by Jellicoe himself must have been the most boring book I ever read as a child. ha I must have been obnoxiously precocious.
Each time he sallied forth, and there were plenty of those ,I fell asleep.
