Fiscal Cliffhanger

I feel I should admit something as a forecaster.  A few days ago I predicted that a deal on the fiscal cliff would be made at 10:30PM EST, 12/31/2012.  Apparently a deal was reached ~9:00PM EST.  I was off by about 90 minutes.  Sorry about that.  The scary thing is, I was being facetious with that "11th hour" prediction!  :-)  NOW we can look forward to 2013 a little bit more!  Have a happy, safe, and prosperous New Year everyone!

2013 Is Almost Here, New Mexico...

2012 is ending on a snowy note, and 2013 is almost here! I'll have your forecast for the first week of 2013 tonight on KOB Channel 4! Stay safe and warm everyone...have a HAPPY NEW YEAR! :-)

Snowy End to 2012

Yeah!  We got SNOW!  C'mere you...gimme a HUG!  Now you be careful on the roads, tiger.  Send out 2012 on a HAPPY note...

Year-End Storm & Season-Ending Game

A storm is approaching for the end of 2012, and a huge game is coming for the end of the NFL regular season, too!  I'll have your forecast tonight before and after the Cowboys/Redskins game tonight on KOB Channel 4!  Have a great night!

Anniversaries

Tuesday will mark 3 years since I've had soda pop and 2 years since I used a vending machine.  My apologies for the economic downturn that hit Coke, Pepsi, Hostess, Hershey and M&M/Mars.  My body is healthier because of it.  Onward and upward!  :-)

Ear Piercings

Some ear piercings I see are kinda cool, while others look awfully uncomfortable/impractical.  This...would be one of the latter...

Frosty is on the ball this time.  He started working out BEFORE the New Year, and look at the results!  Check out those ice pack abs!
