We’re definitely living up to that name around here today.

The wind is howling in the Chicago suburbs as well. Lots of rain yesterday, might be turning to snow this morning.
Our mailbox was blown off its perch. Hmm.
our full front door window was blown in (but didn’t break), likely because it was because it was being held by tape because apparently the weird plastic strips that keep it in place are brand specific so your local big box doesn’t carry any.
My kids spent last night at Grandma & Grandpa's while Philosofette tried to get over being sick. Despite the fact that they live just 1 mile out of town on a state highway, I was unable to go pick them until 7 this evening. And when I did go, I got stuck in a 100 ft long snow drift. Digging out on a major road is a weird experience. At least I stayed on the road, unlike the car I passed at the other end of the drift... My father-in-law drove his skid steer down the road and cleared out a path so I could make it home with the kids. Some insane drifts here on the prairie.
Layover in Phoenix currently; may be an entertaining landing in StL later
This is the second consecutive week we've not had our worship service in Onida, and the third we've missed in Agar. It's not snowing today, but 30-40 mph winds are causing ground blizzards. No travel advised for much of the state.
We've had more Sunday AM cancellations this past winter than any other I can think of
And now Kepler celebrates his new extension by hitting home runs in his first two spring at bats. I like.
If he ever breaks out, Kepler's contract is going to look like a steal.
So I'm looking forward to Brent Rooker hitting the bigs and as a veteran still being called Rooky
If he hits a two-run homer, can we say he castled?
Only once per game.
Spelling was intentional - take it up with Baldie
FISH DELAY | An Osprey just flew over John Sessions with a fish in his claws, but was threatened by a pursuing bald eagle, causing the osprey to drop the fish behind second base (Error).
The fish was recovered by a Dolphin and removed from the field.
For those scoring at home, Dolphins is the nickname for Jacksonville.
Dan Hayes of The Athletic is winning the Spring for most entertaining PBP of meaningless games.
The one man threw the sphere with great velocity and it ricocheted off the other man’s wooden stick and traveled very far, thus affording the latter human the opportunity to achieve the ultimate goal of touching the irregular pentagon.

seriously though.
That was amazing
