Food for thought. Good in snow?

I've also seen, "New '25 Chevelle SS!" or similar BS, that shows an AI-generated car on FB. Ugh.

During the 70s, 1970s not 70s F., I visited my older sister in Boca Raton. She took
me to the coral sand beach and explained all the older women wearing jackets with
fur in some cases as typical when temps went below 75 or so.

I have 100 shares of that too. Hopefully it’s doing ok. Haven’t checked lately!

We're supposed to get 8" to 12" by the time it's done tomorrow. Single digit temperatures most of this week, as well..

That cold air is going to hit Tampa soon too. &5 tomorrow but only in the mid 50s for a few days. The people around here are in panic mode.

I noticed that. When it gets into the 40s in Florida the ski parkas come out.😂

Anybody notice on various FB car sites, how the model year will be misidentified, which results in 50 people commenting. It seems as though the sites do it to get comments.

But what's worse, IMHO, is the site "Classic Cars" which will have a narrative about a particular car, then show an AI-generated image that's bogus, without any comment about it. Here's one from today from that site, talking about the '76 Monte Carlo:

I was spending Christmas in Orlando a few years back and they had the TV on and gave a cold weather waning they said "Get your winter coats out as it's going to get cold out there" I heard that and I started to pay attentions seeing that normally in northern Illinois as when they say that they mean it. However they went on "It's going to get down to the low 60's tomorrow". So the next day the wife and I were out walking in shorts and shirts among people wearing heavy winter coats.

It's an easy time of year to spot the tourists around here! Cold snap coming later today, and everyone apart from visitors from up north will be bundled up for the next week or so.

Today, I wished I had a snowblower. About 8" on the ground so far, and more still coming. The damage to the power grid seems to be not as bad as feared, so far, although what's coming down right now is sleet. No idea how accurate the data on this site is, but it's interesting to observe:

After a couple of heavy snow winters I broke down and bought a snow blower. Since then our winters have had little snow. I think that is one way the universe messes with me.
