My powers of ESP—ok, ESPN—amaze me at times.

I can predict what my fellow South Dakota bloggers will write when the metaphysical and meteorological are optimum. 

Today is such a day.

Here is what I expect you’ll read in the SoDakBlogOSphere today about the big winter storm.

SD War College:

I have learned from a highly placed Administration source* that state senator Sandy Jerstad knew about the coming storm but failed to report it to the proper authorities.  Expect a Legislative ethics review that Sen. Scott Heidepriem will try to stop.

*Pat’s old boss at the Governor’s Office of Newspaper Clippings.

Sibby Online:

Communist Barack Obama and his lies and godless, secular humanists Todd Epp, Pat Powers and RINOs are to blame for today’s winter storm. 

Dakota Voice:

Today’s ice and snow storm is proof that there is no such thing as global warning.  This along with a study from the University of Botswana proves it.

Dakota Today:

Here in Winner, the snow and ice storm caused the price of a jar of Kraft mayonnaise to rise from $4.95 to $5.69.

Steve Hemmingsen Weighs In:

You people don’t know what a real winter is like.  I grew up so poor that we warmed outselves by looking a pictures of people wearing parkas in the Sears catalog.  And say what you will Gov. Bill Janklow, but on a day like this, he’d kick butts and take names.  I gotta go deliver a car somewhere now.

Doug Lund Is Large:

Todd David Epp probably hates winter days like this because he is an elitist.  But I remember back in Brookings when I used to sell shoes how I’d sell lots of overshoes and boots on a day like this.  Then I’d drive back to Volga and admire the old tractors along the way.

Voices Carry:

Every snowflake today is the scream of an aborted fetus.

Rant-a Bit:

I was trying to find The Replacements on Jenna the iPod while driving into work today and nearly hit Jodi Schwan.  Hope the weather doesn’t get so bad that I can’t judge amateur hour at Scarlett O’Hara’s tonight!

Black Marks on Wood Pulp:

The ice encased my car like a Saran Wrap covering a bowl of potato salad.  The beauty of it inspires me to renew my hope in the Indiana Pacers making the NBA playoffs.

Radioactive Chief:

The Chief has seen lots of snow in his day.  But this snow has all the hallmarks of ChiCom snow! Godless Commies!

South DaCola:

Looks like Ironic Johnny, King Dave, and Jodi Schwan all got together and cooked up this storm as a distraction from increasing city taxes and raising Sioux Falls city employee salaries for department heads. 

Northern Valley Beacon:

Only those with Ph.D.s in meteorology should predict or comment on the weather.  Both Abraham Lincoln and George Orwell noted the dangers of the rabble talking about the weather.  And no, Tom Daschle had nothing to do with this storm, unlike some other Aberdeen bloggers might suggest.

TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THIS WINTER STORM!

Jay Trobec, KELOLAND Weather Chief

Run!  Run for your lives!  This is the Snowstorm of the Century!  Abandon all hope ye who enter KELOLAND!

Aaron Shaffer, KDLT-TV Weather Chief

What winter storm?

South Dakota Politics:

You can fully expect my esteemed KELOLAND colleague Todd Epp to try and come up with some way to make fun of the weather and we bloggers.  His attempts, purile as they may be, often are amusing.

I kid because I love!
