Quote from MousemanLV :

So many here are too sensitive and Racer Y just threw around a basic joke. Goddamnit, how do you survive a day being so sensitive

Well said Mouse....well said.

As Richard Bachman, I have to say "The Long Walk" was a heck of a good tale.

The Dark Tower was a good series as books...but wow did they ever mess that up as a TV series/ movie.

Castle Rock season 2 will feature Stephen King's nurse from hell Annie Wilkes (played by Kathy Bates in Misery). She gets stuck in Castle Rock after driving her car off the road....sounds like a revenge tale. No word on release date but a early 2020 date is hopeful.

What is your fave King Movie/book/tv show. Although "Eyes of the Dragon" was a pretty fantastic book ( read it to my 9 year old daughter at the time) "Castle Rock" (2018) with Sissy Spacek was a new take on King for me.

I will start with this. Battleground, from the book "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" starring William Hurt...no spoken word in this. It's like Army men 3d.

If you have never seen this, you are in for a treat.

It is a tad out of sync...but because there is no speaking parts it is doable.

You need to pick someone to beat nikopdr...he is 27, please re-post to save on all the confusion.

Quote from Taavi(EST) :

To beat AtomAnt...

And I'm 30...pretty sure I'm screwed...

lol...Yah Frank would probably kick me arse.

So Justin Bieber challenged Tom Cruise to of UFC type fight. Cruise is 31 years older so I thought what the heck.

Here is the challenge,

Post your age

Next person to post finds a celebrity (Male or Female) 31 years older than the previous poster who they feel confident could beat the beejeebus outta you.

I'm 60, but dam there are some fierce 91 year old celebs I don't wanna mess with.

Have fun with it.

R.I.P. Chewy,

Actor Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca in the Star Wars films, has died.

Mayhew's family said in a statement Thursday that he died at his home in Texas on Tuesday. He was 74. No cause of death was given.

They have pre-recorded tracks from Dolores O’Riordan of the Cranberries for the upcoming album release "In the End" out Apr 26th.

Her vocals are featured posthumously from demos recorded before her tragic death by drowning.

Well, we have had a lot of snow in the last 2 weeks, seems it was enough to cause the roof of our Civic Center to collapse.
The collapse happened around 6:30 p.m. Thursday Frb 21 when the roof area over the 340-seat theatre auditorium caved in.

Had this happened tonight at the same time, over 200 of those seats would have been full. As luck would have it, the auditorium was empty and no one was injured

Some of you may remember when our mall collapsed back in June of 2012 killing two local women, one who was trapped for more than 3 days. that made every major paper in Canada, and now because of this snow laden roof giving way we are once again in the nations spotlight.

The Civic Center just passed a full inspection in 2017, it was just all this snow. Word to the wise, check that roof.

...... and how was your day.

Quote from MousemanLV :

-8 degree C the other day, next day it was raining and +1 degree C, aaaand on the day after that it was -5 degree C once again..gotta love the black ice. Literally every road was covered in ice but now it's a lovely +3 now, snow is melting away and I can finally get across my yard without getting lost in the snow that's up to my crotch

MOUSE...good to see yah friend, -8 eh. Coldest we've had in Elliot Lake this winter...-34 with a steady 40kph wind, nice and sunny today and a mere -10. So much snow here our little city is going broke plowing and lord knows where we gonna put it all.

Quote from MandulAA :

There is another one I use, called Windy ( https://www.windy.com ). I like it a lot more because it has so much more data, map overlays, advanced forecast features using multiple forecast models (ECMWF, ICON, NEMS, GFS). Once you get used to it, it's such a great and advanced webpage. I like it a lot, recommend it. Honestly, the worldweatheronline map seems like a copy of Windy, haha, so much similarities.

lol, I see what you mean, windy.com is awesome. Thx for posting it.

NASA's Mars Opportunity rover had quite the ride. But after 15 years on the Martian surface, the rover has officially been declared dead by NASA


The final commands were sent Tuesday Feb 12/19.

Thx Oppy.

Here is a good overlook map of the world to play with, shows all the moving patterns.

Total snow amounts of 15 to 20 cm are expected.

Strong northeast winds gusting to 60 km/h will cause very low visibility in blowing snow.

Being a Canadian, weather is a topic which is discussed at length. We Canucks use it as a greeting, instead of hello, we will often say "Cold today eh."

Record temps in OZ, storms raging across the USA the likes of which have never been seen before, colder than MARS in Winnipeg, CA. Last year was the 4th warmest ever recorded, the previous 3 were 2017 2015 and 2016 which was the hottest yet.

If you take any cool pics of weather, lets have em here, and please feel free to tell us all how the weather affected your life today.

Personally, not going out there today, nothing but ice. Totally shocked we haven't lost power due to trees falling over.

So drop by often and let us all know how good, bad or extreme your weather be.

Have a great day.
