Winter Events, meteorology, and Punxsutawney Phil is full of crap

I'm writing to all of you fellow hokies out there from downtown Atlanta where I wrap up my final night in the annual AMS conference. I come back to Blacksburg with tons of knowledge, business connections, and most importantly some AWESOME stories. I return from my long hiatus (I apologize for not doing a report for the bowl game but I was very busy that day) to write to you for the first time about a non sports related event. A few minor events aside this has been a relatively quite winter (well...colder than usual...hell may have frozen over at one point) and aside from everyone's favorite word of the week this winter (polar vortices) no major events have occurred. We could be in line for our first one this next week. See the great thing about being surrounded by meteorologists every second of every day I see some things I might miss otherwise or that I haven't been checking up on actively enough. well ladies and gentlemen im proud to warn you all of a winter storm that is heading north east and taking the perfect storm track to bring us tons of snow. We have a minor storm coming in sunday and late this weekend into early next week that could bring 2-4" and some sleet. however after that we have a major storm coming next week according to the GFS model. expect to start hearing about it mid to late next week and while it is still a long way out things are looking promising....errrr threatening for the storm to hit around Wed. ill be keeping a close eye on this

in more important news aside from the news of all the new hokies coming to school (I'm going for a positive outlook rather than a negative for our broad base of recruits and the sheer depth of this class) Punxsutawney Phil is pointing towards 6 more weeks of winter and well...hes dumb. I love watching the groundhog day people throw out the stats that groundhogs are right 75-90% of the time because well they're not. I apologize if I ruin groundhog day for you and or your family but groundhogs are actually correct closer to about 30% of the time which I mean if you think about it the things got about a 50-50 chance of being right or wrong. The way the climate is playing out and a few pressure systems up there, this cold snap should start easing up and we should see some warmer air flowing in.

I mean really guys....were putting our trust in this thing?

screw groundhogs and Atlanta is still struggling with the "massive" (relatively speaking) snow storm of last week...the one thing I did love about this picture though....look at that stache... I wish I could grow one like that do you know how good that thing would look if I wound up in broadcast?!

ditch your car on the highway because the snow almost covers the grass?
YOURE AT GEORGIA TECH YOU CAN DO THAT!!!!!

god speed and safe travels everyone warm weather is coming!!!!

OH! I almost forgot, my UVA joke..

Coach London is really struggling to comprehend that timeouts cannot be saved up between halves
