Just called my wife, turns out my 6 year old son's soccer game was canceled mid-way through the game. Evidently the kids were too distracted trying to eat the snow flakes and just stopped kicking the ball.

I took my young boys to Dr. appointments today, just the usual physical, flu shot and vaccines. But in a rare moment for me of seeing the big picture...I stopped to think how grateful I am that we have 2 healthy boys. I am blessed...and I need to stop and appreciate it more

This guy has been through a lot. But a successful knee surgery is a step in the right direction. Is it me or is that cone excessively huge? Oh well, I can't wait to share pics of him walking again... without the cone! He's the best.

Check out the shelf cloud in Eureka. Strongest part of the storm is north, another storm coming in from the southwest. These clouds are a result of the powerful burst of rain cooled air ahead of the storm. #stlwx

Be on guard for a flood threat this evening. Slow moving storms this evening could produce flooding in isolated areas. Storms can dump 1-2" but if areas get hit by multiple storms 3-5" is possible. These should flare up around 5pm-6pm and fade a little after Midnight
