Today’s unofficial official snow totals for random parts of South East Louisiana:

Hammond: 7 inches
Laplace: 9 inches
Luling: 11 inches

Some of these are second hand reports, all are from complete amateurs. Even the lowest is more than 10x the amount of snow I’ve seen here.

An inch or two of snow? They might get that on the northshore once a decade. Today it’s 7 inches and counting here on the southshore!

I can’t explain how bizarre this is for someone who grew up in South Louisiana.

Hiring is hard, time consuming and thankless, and doesn’t get the effort it requires. I recently had a chance to impact the hiring process at my current job and had some thoughts:

the buccaneers are one team i would not want to play in the postseason. i'm not in football shape, i don't have anywhere near the skill set that would be necessary, i don't belong to a team, and i would have to play them by myself. under no circumstances would i be interested in that matchup

Saints are trying to find out if your opponent can be granted a TD via penalties.

A growing memorial at Canal and Bourbon to honor the 14 dead and 37 injured in a terrorist attack in New Orleans.

People have been driving in from as far as Texas to leave flowers, candles and crosses.

Rattler has looked pretty good today but his receivers aren’t helping him at all. Neither is this Saints pass protection.

Saints offense can’t stay on the field, but the defense keeps the Raiders’ lead from growing. That’s a pretty big break cause this doesn’t feel like a team that can overcome a two score deficit.

Kendre to Rattler, Rattler to Foster Moreau! It’s a Saints TD!

Or not. Call stands and the Raiders will punt. Not sure what the Refs were looking at there to be honest.

That was a really bad spot for the Raiders. They should win this challenge fairly easily.

That drop by Juan was killer. Spencer threw a really good ball there.

I’ve also never been happier to watch the Saints jump offsides. I didn’t think they picked up enough yardage on 3rd down to go for it on 4th.

Taysom Hill and Spencer Rattler have the longest runs of the season just as we all expected.
