US weather to go nuts with blizzard, polar vortex, heat dome, atmospheric river all at once

"Nearly every part of the United States is getting walloped by wild weather or just about to be.

"Days of downpours have begun in #Hawaii. The #Southwest will soon bake with day after day of record 100-degree-plus (38 Celsius-plus) #heat. Two storms will dump snow by the foot over northern #GreatLakes states. And the dreaded #PolarVortex will again invade the Midwest and East with soul-crushing #ArcticChill.

"This forecast of extremes comes as weather whiplash already hit much of the East. On Wednesday, Washington, D.C. residents walked around in shorts in record-breaking 86 degrees Fahrenheit (about 30 Celsius). On Thursday, it snowed.

" 'All of the country, even if you’re not necessarily seeing extremes, are going to see generally changing from cold to warm, or warm to cold to warm,' said meteorologist Marc Chenard of the weather service’s Weather Prediction Center in Maryland.

"Former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Ryan Maue said he expects extreme weather in all 50 states."

Every kind of weather is about to hit the US

The United States is getting slammed by a stretch of weather extremes, from flooding rain to record heat and late-season snow. On Wednesday, Washington, D.C., hit a record 86 degrees, then snow fell on Thursday. Meteorologists say the Southwest faces a heat dome with prolonged triple-digit temperatures. Polar cold will push into the Midwest and East. Two northern storms are likely to dump feet of snow, with one strengthening into a rare inland bomb cyclone. Hawaii is also dealing with an atmospheric river and flash flooding. Experts link the wild swings to a sharply dipping jet stream.

Why wet, heavy snow is the best for making snowballs and snowmen

School is out as heavy, wet snow blankets parts of the Northeast. Though it will be a pain to shovel, it makes for perfect snowballs and the most structurally sound snowmen

World of Warcraft whine...

So I have been playing #Blizzards #Wow because #addiction

But when I said "play" I mean log in once in a while, join some LFG Raids, maybe run some instances on alts. If I am feeling particurarily masochistic, run a +Mythic.

But Blizzard is constantly hiring and firing people, and each new lead has to fucking impring their ideas on the game.

And so. In the new expansion;
1) They gated the expansion behind the last strory line. If you have not done all their stupid lore quests to admire their stupid 'content'. You are phased out from doing the expansion.

2) I log in today, and the main capital where you previously could fly in, is retrospecively gated behind a PATHFINDER quest, which is a long arse quest to enable flight...
I have never bothered with the pathfinder quests because they are just stupid make work quests for a feature that should be basic.

So yeah, after years of playing #WOW, #Blizzard may have actually have gotten closer than ever to have me quit the game.
I could use the spare 137GB on my primary boot drive.

Wow, impressive.
Thank you Blizzard for looking after my welfare.

File this under filthy casual tears.

P.S. Oh yeah, as I was going through my sceenshots... the bastards force name change my Ice Mage character "Frostitute", goddamned puritan cunts.
