Rain/sleet mix at times. 39.9 This weather blows. And windy to boot.

Daycare is fine. You can easily find a place that works well for you. It’s just expensive.

I counted 11 raindrops here. Felt like that February virga event looking for a rogue flake when someone put a mping report of flakes near my house

A quick trace here lol

Does anyone have any experience with using QGIS here? Particularly importing LIDAR maps the government made to build a horizon analysis that look at heights of the land and of the vegetation/forest on it? If you have experience with any of the mentioned items above, especially a good tutorial for QGIS I would appreciate it. That software is kicking my ass. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Ha, BTV down to 1/2 mile moderate snow. KBTV 191523Z 35006KT 1/2SM R15/3500V5500FT SN FG SCT005 OVC009 01/00

Impressive -NAO on the way:

I slept with my window open. Jacket and gloves back out for you ?

Timing stinks but after the early heat I love a strong cool down. Just wish it happened tomorrow instead

Chasing a sprinkle is really where we’ve come

Snowing… this weather is crazy. 70F and shorts yesterday… wind blown snow today.

No almost about it. This is early march weather

God this weather fucking blows

Snowflakes in Clearfield as we headed to State College for Monster trucks. 43°F in State College.

44F in Lanco. Has to feel pretty nasty out there. .

When we both return to work , my mom , her parents and her brothers all live in Brooklyn about 20 minutes away. Thank god we have them near us because like you said , day care is expensive and I dont trust them.

For the first 5 years , I took alot of my overtime in time . Now I usually just take cash or split the overtime. It should be months, not weeks. Its not easy raising a baby with a full time job. My wife told me to quit my job to be a stay home dad. ( I think she was joking )

Yup that's very common now. Daycare is more expensive than many full time jobs. Count yourself lucky if you have family available to watch your kids.

Ma has pfml which pays a portion of your salary and I can use accrued PTO to top it off for a full paycheck. Obviously baby is 6 weeks early so going to take some time to sort that out

0.06" overnight- bottomed out at 37º this morning. Saw some reports of flurries around but never saw any myself here at the house.

I had to stay at home parent for two years because my wife earns more and my working part-time was cheaper than paying for child care.
