34 currently with a rain snow mix, low went too far north and it's just a little too warm. Snows melting now, peaked at 1¾" (photo below is from earlier). Hopefully we can get a few inches tonight

These are the kind of people who will have a mental breakdown if Trump wins: https://first-draft.com/2024/10/31/shes-got-this/ Maybe the most delusional part is toward the end where they are convinced that Tester will win his seat. I mean, anything can happen, but Tester winning is a longshot.

I couldn't take one more dry, hot, windy day. Glad we're seeing a change.

Here's why I won't vote for Trump: 1. I think it's foolish to dismiss everyone who was part of his first administration, including those in the military, who believe at the very least he is a poor and toxic leader. There are MANY of these. 2. While I think he does want the best for America, I think it's clear that more than that he wants what's best for Donald Trump. He has always put himself and his brand first, and I don't see any reason that would change. 3. That being said, I don't think he's a fascist. I think he's an authoritarian-type leader (this is quite common in the business world, of course) who doesn't like to be told no. I'm not even sure he cares that much about many of "his policies", but I do think he cares about being perceived as important, popular, and powerful. 4. As others have pointed out, I think he's intent on surrounding himself more with yes men this around. And some of those people, like Stephen Miller, definitely have their own agenda that I'm not crazy about. I don't think Trump himself is necessarily all that dangerous, but I think there's the risk that he gives some people who have been loyal to him too much power and just goes along with them. Some might read this and say "Well if you feel that way about Trump, why do you defend him against the media?" This is looking at it backwards. I'm not defending Trump, I'm holding the news media accountable for not doing their job: accurate reporting. As a whole, they attack Trump in a much different way than Harris, and there's nothing balanced about it. Even if I thought Trump was a super dangerous fascist, I would hold the media accountable. But there should be no need to twist the truth with biased reporting if that's what he is.

How dare they! I thought we had the market cornered on 34 degree rain/snow mix. As least they threw in 40 mph wind gusts to make it feel more Minnesota-like.
