Current Official Hourly Observation (taken at :53 on the hour) & Radar
Tonight – Here Comes Maalik Wayns – Midnight Temp 39
A “clipper” is a fast moving, cold temp delivering, snow producing weather system. We’re getting the business-end of the cold temps, plus only a sneeze of snow.
In honor of the reality/weather station that named stuff and used to be on my TV (I think it was called “The Weather Channel”), we’re going to name this clipper after Los Angeles Clipper Maalik Wayns . . .
. . . who has the lowest scoring average on the Clippers this season.
We chose Maalik because we’re not getting much, if any, snow tonight . . .
. . . or tomorrow. More on that in a second. For now, let me plunge you into a winter depression.
