I tried to disable it in the hopes that these juvenile trolls would find somewhere else to go, but alas, they keep coming back.. like any pest that is left to fester without control. <br /><br />So.. comment moderation is back on, indefinitely. I realize that diminishes the utility of this blog in rapidly changing situations, but unlike these trolls, I just don't have enough time on my hands to constantly monitor this site.

These may push into southern RRV tonight but confidence is lower that they'll make it as far north as Winnipeg.

We'll see..<br /><br />By the way, 17 mm at my place as of 9 pm.. we're in a bit of a break now but more showers over southern RRV should be pushing in later this evening into the overnight hours. Bulk of it however may be slipping by to our southwest based on latest radar trends. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.com
