Grizzcoat Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 This storm stunk just like the stench on a monkey and the rest of the winter. As my old mentor friend Jonesey said, we'll get what we get...well screw that! Congrats to those getting a good total out of this,,, been the same place all year. Ready for 90s and humidity I suppose, that's what the media wants us to have so they'll keep preaching about it until it comes true.
