If only all those weather predictors had Gary’s smart watch we’d know whether today’s storm was bringing 4″ or 18″! Hope everyone stays warm and safe…
Thats why we live where we do!
Another great MARTOONERVILLE cartoon. I always look forward to seeing them every week
Thanks Gary. I enjoy your work. Much appreciated.
That’s adorable! Kudos! Who knows anything anymore? We’re in San Francisco and heading to Melbourne, Australia tonight where it’s expected to be 109 degrees Fahrenheit when we arrive Tuesday morning . Who knows anything anymore, as I said?
Is it spring yet? Hoping everyone is warm and safe.
Oh, I see — it’s a storm watch!
No worries about us! Once we hear where between 10 and 3000 inches of snow we will get, , we should be all good!!🤣🤣🤣
Since the season began, the forecasters have been wrong about very single snow forecast for NYC. Sometimes we are supposed to get a little (2″-3″), but it never snows at all. Other times we’re supposed to get 6″ or more – and we get MAYBE 2″-3″ (possibly 4″).
This is the first time they got it right. There are already ~6″ on the ground (1 pm, Sun, 1/25) and it’s supposed to continue snowing for the rest of the day. So we may actually get the 8″ or more that was predicted.
This just goes to prove the old adage: Even a stopped clock is correct twice a day. lol.
Very clever, Gary. We should all have one of those gadgets!

Can’t wait to get this IOS update.
I love his illustrations
Keep your head above the snow ⛄️

Knock knock.
Knock knock?
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
This feels as if I’m talking to myself.
Then again, that’s how it usually feels.
So much snow!
Winter wonderland (Yuk!)
