Dear Cruel World

Please accept these photographs — taken the morning of April 20, 2011 — in lieu of an explanatory note.

Almost Censored (heavy snow potential by Tuesday night)
The models agree on the timing of the next storms (late Tuesday through midday Wednesday), but not the amounts. The range: 4-14”, give or take a foot. Throw out the highest and lowest values and you still wind up with a midrange prediction in the 4”+ range. We’ll see. It’s still (very) early to be attaching inch-amounts to the forecast. Could it be “plowable”? Absolutely.

Minnesota, you’re breaking my heart right now.

LA’s Unemployment Rate is Twice as High as Minneapolis’s

Update: Got excited and wrote a title that was wrong. Los Angeles County, with a population of 9.86 million and an unemployment rate of 12.7%, has 1,252,000 unemployed people. Hennepin County, with a population of 1.14 million and an unemployment rate of 6.1%, has 68,460 unemployed people. So LA actually has 18 times as many unemployed people as Minneapolis. Which is fun to picture, but the rate is what really matters.
