Actually a bomb cyclone is only when the millibars drop by more than 24 in less than an hour. It makes it so that it was a drizzle that suddenly turned into a miasma in minutes. I've been through blizzards before, that was the first that came that quickly. I am in awe. It was FANTASTIC to watch but not a joy to be out in. LOL
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

i would have completely freaked out. You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!
So very glad you’re safe Damo. A good lesson for all of us to learn about having an emergency kit in your vehicle. I’m out in winter weather all the time with thin clothes on and no emergency kit. If that had been me and I ran out of gas I’d probably have froze.

Last night I was going to take the misses out for dinner. Just before we left the Misses and I had a brief fight. You know the kind? I don’t do enough around the house and when was I going to fix that and do this and show her more respect, etc, etc,. I ended the argument by telling her one day she’d regret nagging me all the time.
When we went to leave I was thinking about what happened to you so I popped open the trunk and tossed in a blanket and a shovel. I closed the trunk and the Misses was standing there with eyes as big as saucers and she said....maybe we should stay home and i’ll Cook you dinner.
Man she cooked me a great steak, turned on my favorite Clint Eastwood movie, snuggled with me all night and even made me a mango flavored cake with vanilla cream icing. So far she hasn’t nagged once while I’ve been doing nothing but watch basketball all day.
Who knew putting a snow emergency kit in the car would be such a great idea?!
Thanks Damo.

Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

Damocles would have helped anyone. He is one of the most kind hearted persons I have ever known. He is Zen like or Buddha or something, but he is simply chill.
Damocles for POTUS.!
