The sounds of silence on a major interstate after a blizzard. Somewhat chilling, no pun intended.

An real picture. See how my all natural beer refrigerator idea from before could work?

To all New Englanders: Here’s a unique and creative idea on keeping your adult beverages cold.

Keep in mind this is an old Photo but fun nonetheless. I bet people are trying it.

7 days till you die? What is this, a race?

Great movie idea: 6 more weeks!

These gifs on College Humor are so often very inspirational.

How depressing.. Not being able to see your car in winter is similar to not able to see your feet after a big dinner. The digging out occurring now….in very windy conditions.

Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis striking southeastern PA

This is weird:
CBS Philly: It’s a mysterious, newly discovered disease that strikes mainly young women, and it’s often misdiagnosed. Doctors who discovered it, here in Philadelphia, say it’s like your brain is on fire

More:

Young women dazed, restrained in hospital beds, acting possessed and then becoming catatonic. They’d been so normal, when suddenly their lives went haywire.

“One minute I’d be sobbing, crying hysterically, and the next minute I’d be laughing, said Susannah Cahalan, of New Jersey.

The other scary thing is that very often it may be completely misdiagnosed as a mental disorder .., or even in the religious world, as a satanic possession..

So…why the cluster?

So what’s that curious metal object sticking out of the Martian surface anyway?

We are talking about this week’s storm like it’s the last of the year. Here is a forecast model run for next week with another lurking Nor’easter poised to strike. This is just in time for valentines day… Watching this one closely.

Dress yourself up pretty and meet me tonight in a blizzard .. Fun image from NYC courtesy of CNN. Dancing shoes in a tundra. It is truly the city that never sleeps. Love it.

Massachusetts and Connecticut got hit bad

Now that’s a Nor’Easter

Nearly 530,000 customers have lost power in nine northeastern states during the blizzard that is blanketing the region.

Over 300,000 of those

CNN report

My power blinked only once. Luckily. I’m warm enough to go shovel now … Thank goodness we didn’t get 3 feet here..

kickstarter:

White House home movies.

Our Nixon documents the president’s rise and fall through home movies shot by three of Nixon’s closest aides. Forgotten for nearly 40 years, these Super 8 films offer a unique look at life inside the White House.

This could be an interesting idea..

Seriously..

The cause of Sunday’s power outage at the Super Bowl in New Orleans has been traced to an electrical relay device, Entergy New Orleans Inc. announced.

A CNN report.

Which also means from now on we should refer to Beyonce as an electrical relay device. Oh yeah.

SUPERSTORM (the winter edition)

If forecasts hold this storm is going to be historic…

SUPERSTORM (the winter edition)

Wow

Major U.S. airlines have canceled 2,933 flights ahead of what could be a historic blizzard in the Northeast on Friday

Watches warnings now almost everywhere..

The blizzard will be big, but inciting fear to make runs on banks may not be a wise move. But what if banks are doing it?!

The blizzard will be big but for FEMA and Bank of America to cause fear by telling people to make runs or cash now seems a little shortsighted.. no?

Cash on hand is good. Food is good. Blankets are good. But issuing messages to cause panic? Not good..
