I had to use the city of Omaha app on my iPhone to report a major side street in my neighborhood that hadn't been touched yesterday while streets around it were done. Now to see how long it takes for them to find it.

It's a brave new world with climate change. We had an epic flood an epic drought just for example and people still complain about an underestimation of a snow fall. Our computer models and the computers they run on are as sophisticated as ever but yet the x-factor is bigger to. Of course if anyone else has a better way of predicting the weather then get your |expletive| on TV and tell us.

It was more than I figured we would get but my only complaint has nothing to do with forcasting. My daughter wrecked her car again. We dont generally go a week without a disaster and this one wasnt needed! Anyone have a bumper for a 02 accord? :roll:

On the bright side, it wont be around long. The snow I mean. Well, maybe the accord too at this rate!

According to the Omaha Police Officers Association Facebook page, one of OPD's new police cruisers was rear ended while performing traffic control for an accident yesterday.

Rear bumper assembly for an '03 accord (should work with '02). $160 S&M imports in Omaha pretty much has anything you could ever think of for used imports, which should come in handy for a family with teenagers playing bumper cars.
