I Never Met A Stranger I Didn’t Like

01/21/2025

There’s a lot I could say, but I think it’s best to keep it simple. First and foremost, thank you! Thank you for all the love and support, and a special thank-you to the incredible guests I’ve had on the show. It’s been an amazing journey, and I’m so grateful.

I’ve decided to take a step back. While I won’t deactivate my accounts, I’ll be removing social media apps from my phone and staying offline for a while. Not forever, I’m sure, but for now. My accounts will remain active because my kids use Messenger to stay connected with friends, but I personally won’t be online. I’m not sure how long this break will last, but I know it’s the right decision for me.

This pause is about refocusing—on myself, my family, and what matters most. Because of this, I’ll also be resigning my seat on the Claremore Main Street board. I have sent an official email. The board is filled with wonderful people doing great work, and I have nothing but respect for them.

However, my time podcasting and being involved in this space has opened my eyes to certain things—things that haven’t always sat well with me (and to be clear, I’m not referring to the board). Just a little reminder to be cautious of people who may appear to have good intentions for the community but are ultimately self-serving. Some aren’t as kind or genuine as they may seem.

I’ve truly loved creating this podcast, but it’s time for me to step away. It’s not goodbye forever—there may be a new podcast in the future, or perhaps even the return of INMASIDL—but for now, my focus is on being the best version of myself for my family.

I’m okay—truly! Thank you to everyone who has checked in recently; your concern means a lot. Honestly, the fact that I’ve felt so much anxiety about stepping away from social media has only confirmed for me that I need to do this. I may keep TikTok for now (still undecided), but even if I do, I won’t be posting.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your incredible support. This has been an unforgettable experience, and I appreciate each and every one of you.

Alrighty Everybody until next time, I wish you all love and happiness.

Thank you.

Let’s hope it goes like that!

Quick (reasonable and non-panicky) talk about the most likely temps and precip in the next 10 days....

Noticeably colder tomorrow and on NYD, with highs in the 40s. Temps should be near 30° as 2025 arrives at midnight tomorrow night.

Turning colder again Friday, as precip approaches Saturday Night/Sunday AM. a LARGE MAJORITY of our computer models (deterministic and ensemble) show temps above freezing as that precip occurs. It is the first weekend of January, so, we'll watch any potential cooling trends closely, but data to this point supports a forecast of above 32° while precip occurs Saturday Night/Sunday AM.

Even colder air will roll in Sunday Night, after the precip ends. This will be our first Arctic front of the season.

Right now, then LARGE MAJORITY of our computer models show the most likely scenario for Monday to Thursday next week is highs in the 30s, lows in the teens. There may be some light wintry precip, but there is no indication at this time of any impactful amounts.
