Just how bad is this winter storm is going to be?

Social scientists have discovered that people in harm's way are far more likely to heed warnings if the impending threat is compared to a past highly memorable event. For example, the anticipated impact from a forecast flood can be compared to the effects of a relatively recent memorable flood.

With that in mind, I would like to heighten people's awareness about the expected impacts of this evolving major winter storm by comparing it to another historical event from 2008:

Don't Misunderstand Me

This Rossington-Collins Band song was on the radio when I was in 7th grade. It's still one of my favorite male/female rock duets - right up there with You're the One that I Want from Grease. Dale Krantz-Rossington is just fantastic on this tune.

Humor

Well, without going into details, here I sit in a situation that I
never thought would happen to me. It makes me realize how judgmental I
have been in the past about people in this and certain other
situations. Suffice to say, I see God has a wonderful sense of humor
sometimes when making people realize the error in their ways.

Big storm a comin' this week? Probably.

After a dud of a winter with respect to snow (Grand Rapids is 14.3" below normal for the season as of this morning), we have a decent shot for redemption this week... http://bit.ly/hjRIbx

Grease fires

If #mythbusters taught me anything, it's to not pour water on a grease fire.
