The weather is stormy where we are and conditions are uncertain. My wife asked if we'd be able to hear the wind tonight.

I said, "It's wind, dear. Whether we hear it or not is up in the air."

10 men trapped in Alaska

I remember years ago when in my remote town in Alaska there were 10 men stuck underground. I don't recall the circumstances that got them into this situation but it was clear that if they didn't get out soon they weren't going to make it.

All of our local rescue and public services were unable to get them out and they were running out of time. With only 18 hours remaining they sent for the only expert who could help, a rescue operations legend Mr. Puh. If he could get a plane into town it could make all the difference.

I remember gathering around the radio, biting our nails, as weather conditions worsened and threatened the planes journey.

I don't remember how long I stayed awake that night, but I will never forget the words I heard when I turned the radio on in the morning: "Puh not in, ten dead."

One for you pilots.

I have a buddy who was flying out today and he was looking at a weather map trying to layout his flight path. But he was frustratingly listing all of the bad weather conditions that he has to avoid along the way.

Him: "Dang, there's some cumulonimbus clouds over there. This part is going to be really turbulent. And there's icing!"

Me: "Wait, why don't you like icing? That's what makes cake so tasty!"

Him: stares at me intensely

My dad is keeping light during Georgia's latest winter storm.

Georgia/Atlanta is expecting a big ice storm tonight/tomorrow. As I got off work, my dad texts me with weather conditions in a nearby town.

Dad: Did you hear they have ice in Cedartown?

Me: Already?

Dad: It's $1.79 a bag.
