Toughest show of the week to put together positive Thursday.

We don't live in a world of positivity, but I can do it as your mayor and chief executive officer of Gumshin County.

I can do it. Let's start with the weather. I find it enjoyable. I find it festive. I love howling winds. I love to see snow blowing off roofs and off the limbs of fragile trees, which is how nature protects our green friends.

I'm just going to say that I'm blowing the snow off the branches. Hey, hey, it's just positive Thursday. It's not BS Thursday.

No, no positive through. I love the and I know it's easier to say you love this type of weather today.

When you know it'll be gone in three days, I'm not so sure I could be terribly positive about it.

Had this been December 11th or January 11th. I can put a very positive spin on today's at least for today anyway.

And overnight would have been of the dry variety right with this wind we're seeing right now. We would be doomed. It would be 100% white.

But this stuff is like mashed potatoes, so it's really not blowing around them. And there's not much traffic. A lot of drivers who might have been apprehensive to venture out today. The schools are closed.

It's very easy to get around. I had a delightful make a move conversation with Glenn Perkins prior to the show. The former twins closer was in here doing a podcast and he had some make a move questions.

Oh, and I was able to straighten him out. The whole point of make a move. Remember is to keep moving. Even if that means your time to your destination takes longer. What do you care? You've been moving your moving.

What was Glenn's concern because I'm guessing whatever route he takes in is it was wide open wasn't it? I think so, but he was wondering if it got a little slippery or something.

Should he just automatically make a move? And I said you you don't have to make a move unless you feel you are going to be stopped.

Right. But he's in the Southern Metro. He's got limited options. I don't know the condition of the freeways. I do. And they're positive. Yeah. Like you said, levels are so light that getting around is a breeze.

I dropped an urchin off at the airport today. 494 was a ghost town. Yeah, but it's got that hard press chunks of ice. So it's slippery in spots. I don't go 60.
