Mine shows followers, but does not align with primal and is 20 followers lower then yesterday (which is most of my followers). It also has been erratic some days showing more some days showing less.

Normally work from home anyway but was planning on going in. The storm and road conditions quickly put an end to that thought lol

Below is an AI analysis of the storm temps from my backyard weather sensor in Rhoadesville VA. The sensor is next to the house and is on the east wall so might be influenced slightly warmer by 1 or 2 degrees particularly around 7-8 am Overall Statistics (Jan 23–26) Minimum Temperature: 11.1°F (Jan 24, 7:03:20 AM) – This was likely the coldest point during the storm's onset. Maximum Temperature: 50.5°F (Jan 23, 2:00:12 PM) – Pre-storm warmth. Average Temperature: 24.3°F across ~65 readings. Median Temperature: 21.1°F. Temperature Range: 39.4°F (from min to max). Standard Deviation: 9.8°F – Indicates significant variability due to the storm's progression. Trends and Analysis The data captures the full arc of the weekend winter storm in central Virginia, which reports describe as one of the largest in years, bringing heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain starting Saturday evening (Jan 24) and continuing through Sunday (Jan 25).819111469a5dc9fa42 Pre-Storm (Jan 23 Afternoon–Evening): Temperatures started mild in the upper 40s–50s°F, typical for a January day in Virginia.124165 They dropped rapidly overnight (~2–3°F per hour) as cold air advection ahead of the storm arrived, reaching the mid-20s°F by midnight. Storm Onset and Peak Cold (Jan 24): A sharp plunge continued into early morning, hitting the dataset's low of 11.1°F around dawn – consistent with Arctic air behind the front.8f6500 Daytime saw a brief rebound to 26.2°F mid-afternoon, possibly during lighter precipitation, before cooling again to teens°F overnight. This aligns with reports of the storm transitioning to sleet and heavy ice accumulation overnight.28612f Storm Core and Recovery (Jan 25): Overnight lows dipped to 16.4°F (matching your earlier "worst" phase focus), with gradual warming through the day to 26.8°F by evening. The stable mid-20s°F overnight into Jan 26 suggests lingering cold but tapering precipitation. Overall, temperatures dropped ~40°F from Jan 23 highs to Jan 24 lows over ~17 hours, a hallmark of this storm's intensity.84e3e7 No major anomalies in your sensor data; readings are consistent and align with regional forecasts (e.g., lows in the teens°F, highs in the 20s°F).400e06 Snow Accumulation Context Your measurement of approximately 5 inches of dry, granular snow with a 1-inch crust is spot-on for Rhoadesville's location in central VA. Reports indicate 4–6 inches commonly, with some spots up to 10–14 inches from sleet/freezing rain adding density and crust.efd59f07c3967c110a The "crust" likely formed from freezing rain glazing over the snow, creating hazardous icy layers – a key warning in this event.6dced7457cac Nearby areas like Richmond saw 12–16 inches, so your 5 inches suggests lighter totals locally, perhaps due to elevation or storm track variations.

Attached is a graph for the temps I saw here in central VA (Rhoadesville). Looks like the low was 11.1f on the 24th @ 7:03 while the high was 26.8 on the 25th @ 9:01 The temp was mainly hovering around 16-19f late Saturday and Sunday Currently on the ground is about 5 inches of hard icy/dry snow with a crust about an inch thick (just enough to almost walk on without breaking through)

Considering I just put a large chunk into an unchained ira... In 10 years or so when I need it I will preferably spend it... But sell if I must.

Even at 30, maybe at 40.... Bit coin would need to fall to around 13k (average BK salery is 26.5k) to not be a good deal. Of course I would still need to collect my BK salery since I would need something to live on.

Even if it is proven the agent overacted, I still think MN govt is to blame by encouraging such behavior and setting up a situation where agents need to not only be concerned about the actual person they are apprehending, but about protesters and what they may do. This causes tremendous pressure on those involved and tempers as well as judgment suffers.

I somewhat agree with this. Any extremely large windfall has its risks, particularly if it instantly fuels an increase of your standard of living... I have no heirs, and no real "generational wealth". But if I did, I would make sure it was planned. While I would need some time to plan the specifics it would go something like this: Setting a monthly payout of 1/2 the avg local salery, a new car, and a median level starter home in the area of heirs choice. this is not quite enough to live on but is enough to be a safety net. An accounting would need to be provided to the trustee manager for the yearly spending this should demonstrate charitible giving and responsibility. Year 10 or 25yrold with at least 4 years of acceptable behavior the main payout begins. The stipend increases to avg "industry pay scale" tied to main jobs held or degree earned, a business plan for the rest of the payout is presented in which up to 2/3 of all startup costs are approved by the manager. If there are no plans for the use of the money then this level will remain in force. The manager would have instructions for "raises" based on anual reporting (things such as inflation, life changes, emergencies, bonuses for certain action, even just getting on with life and dropping out of the main program) Once a level of success is reached the remaining funds are released according to the wishes of the heir. I would hope that by this time there would be a level of responsibility learned, youthful irresponsibility is in the past, etc. In any case, the heirs health needs are covered, and the manager would have full authority to release funds to cover major medical or old age care (if it came to that and money available) Of course, this only works for a sizable inheritance, I feel that anything smaller is not a real risk and would just setup a monthly stipend till the money ran out or the heir turns 25... Something like that.

GPU prices as well, but I am not sure they have taken effect yet.....
