See, this guy and his buddy filmed themselves hanging down by the river. (insert Chris Farley here) What do they stumble upon:? An ice overhang [...]

Spring is on Wednesday, Snow Sounds About Right

Adams — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:41:42 +0000

I have a bone to pick with Punxsutawney Phil. 'An early Spring is coming' (which translates to six more weeks of Winter) was the prediction from our furry friend in Punxsutawney, PA.. By the way, that was six weeks ago, and no, no sign of Spring is near. In fact, expect another dose of Old Man Winter around these parts starting tonight.

Snow Headed To The Albany Area

Adams — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:41:37 +0000

Just when you thought Oldman Winter had packed up and decided to take shelter for the next few months, think again. Mother Nature has us in her cross hairs and she’s ready to pull the trigger. I’m not gonna get into weather models or time of arrival predictions. I’m not. But I will say this: [...]

Now I'm Free To See The World, In The Snow, At 70MPH [VIDEO]

Adams — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 02:00:59 +0000

Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Reminds me of my favorite commercial from Hoveround. You know, the one with the little old ladies riding up to the edge of the Grand Canyon, peering out over the Canyon all happy and what not. In the back of their minds their like 'ugh, I can't believe this is how I make extra cash'. But whatev- That commercial is great and so is a 70mph 4-wheel scooter, in the snow!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Adams — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 18:23:44 +0000

Seriously though, you ready for some serious snow? I was just chatting with a buddy yesterday about the white stuff. Our general consensus? Why haven't we seen a snow storm that drops 2 inches an hour, like back in the old days? You know what I'm saying right? Like, the kind of snow plows can't keep up on? That's what I long for when it comes to winter and snow. Let's roll out the prediction.

Hey Weather Channel: Stop Naming Winter Storms – It's Stupid

Bryen — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:36:37 +0000

Using the word stupid isn’t always polite and should be reserved for special occasions and The Weather Channel trying to name winter storms is a perfect example of when to use the word stupid. I understand why they’re doing it – it’s a gimmick to get people to tune in to their cable channel and check out their web [...]

Drunk Man Has Sex With Snowman and Gets Frostbite On His Wiener

Mike Adams — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 05:05:31 +0000

There are times when the eyes of an alcoholic reveal a darkness so vast that everything decrepit in the universe appears to makes sense, like a bloodshot lookingglass reflecting a message from God - or maybe not. Either way, occasionally a rare breed of sloppy degenerate rises up from the drunken pits of hell to prove to the rest of us that there is a long way to go before we ever hit rock bottom. You'll know them by their frostbitten penises.

Homeless Man Breaks Windows To Stay Warm

Adams — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 23:55:25 +0000

With temps barely reaching 20 degrees over the last few days, which will likely carry into the weekend, we can all agree that it's- burr chilly cold chilly burr cold burr- out there, no? For me, I appreciate the fact that I have a few blankets and a warm place to rest my head. For others, staying warm means committing a crime.

5 Famous Weather Predicting Groundhogs You've Never Heard Of

Dave After Dark — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:10:38 +0000

It’s Groundhog Day…again. According to legend, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow, it will leave showing that winter will soon end. If it is sunny, the groundhog will see its shadow and go back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks. The largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. The most famous weather man in Punxsutawney is Punxsutawney Phil. However, Phil isn’t the only groundhog to predict weather. Eric Meier and I worked hard researching different groundhogs. Here’s 5 Famous Groundhogs You’ve Never Heard Of.
