We have radiant in the family room addition, best heat there is.

My dad did HVAC for 30+years and always said baseboard hot water was the best until radiant in-floor technology advances made that more practical but hot water is still the most comfortable.

Not a terrible suggestion. Average highs in the 40's throughout Met winter though so I can't see their snow sticking around that long. Never lived there though so if anyone has I'd be interested to know.

High Point Didn't see that coming. Fucked up my bracket a bit.

Nah, I do McDonalds like 4 or 5 times a year lol. Not my thing. The Big Arch is just a curiosity. If I get it I would probably eat no more than half. More pricey than it should be and so unhealthy. Rather spend my money on this. Much higher quality, not that much more expensive and I support a local business. https://www.rudefoodco.com/

At least you know going in it wont compare to Five Guys lol. Love their fries, and eating those delicious (free) roasted peanuts while waiting is awesome.

ICON with the follow up wave on Monday pasting SNE. I beat the cops and ineedsnow to it…

We had our 3 days of bliss last week…now we pay. If there can’t be any snow..I hate this.

At my place, we easily had 3 ft of snow next to the driveway in 2021

This is an 84 degree temperature, like summertime at 5600ft above sea level Boulder-JeffCo Airport Conditions at: KBJC observed 19 March 2026 20:45 UTC Temperature:29.0°C (84°F) Dewpoint:-9.0°C (16°F) [RH = 8%]

Finally had time to clean all the limbs and branches up today from the screamer. Boss was up from Hotlanta last two days riding with me so I had no chance to clean. What a mess . No mud.. just frozen

it does look colder around that time. too late for anything wintry so it's useless really

Capitalism got ya lol

not temps, I can see maps that show precip but temps verify way more than not! Am i right or am I wrong?

Yup, what a Crap day. 38 cloudy and cold and raw. Yesterday sucked too. Horrid weather.

This should be in banter. 300+ hours on an operational model run

Gov't jobs, not private sector. Keep it apples to apples

I will be in your region soon, and rain and snow seems to follow me wherever I go. You all will thank me next winter.

kill me now if that verifies-that's probably highs in the mid 30's

34.5° with flurries Terrible

that was a change at 12 Z. I don’t know how much you drank last night but nothing showed that this morning.

For sure! My friend is super picky with design. He took one look at how ours was installed and said it looked like a discount hooker on a Wednesday night

You are right, the baseboards aren't works of art, but they were manufactured in Westfield at Mestek, and sold under the Sterling brand. They were $15 per foot and I installed 130 feet of them, so they weren't cheap, about $2,000. I think I spent that much again on copper pipe and fittings. This was 10 years ago when copper was cheaper then now. What they are is comfortable. And when the heating season is 210+ days long, that matters. Before I ditched the forced air system in my current house, this was my reality. It was "fine" while the blower was running, but as soon as the heat cycle was over, right back to being cold and uncomfortable. That system was noisy too, you needed to turn the TV volume up while it was running. I can't place all the blame on the forced air system, my house is a split and was originally built with electric heat, the forced air system was added in in the mid 1980s, and they didn't size it correctly or get the required returns in the right places. It was a disaster, and I'm glad it finally failed because what I have now is 1000% better. The two best features of my baseboards are they are completely silent and provide constant heat without cycling. The system circulates continuously providing warm water to the baseboards at a temperature inversely proportional to the exterior temperature using a modulating boiler and a buffer tank. The heat put out by the radiator matches the heat lost by the house, keeping the house at a constant 68-69F without cycling. While it is convenient, it can be a compromise in comfort. In the winter, most of the heat load is in the bottom of the building, in the summer, most of the cooling load is at the top. If you have proper ductwork that can accommodate the differences in heating and cooling loads between seasons that helps, but as our collective experiences indicate, forced air systems are prone to improper duct design and installation.

But what about Cold Gin?
