CAPE

'X' is pretty much the same now.

It isn't going to snow anywhere near Staunton. He can drive NW towards Canaan if he wants to see snow. NW and 3000+ ft is where accumulating snow will be. This isn't difficult lol.

Good luck.

High of 65 here. Nice day.

It is, but we are talking about the Bears. Maybe there really wasn't a market, but then why not just hold on to him. Injuries happen. How does Cousins keep positioning himself for the big payday? He is 36 I think and coming off a major injury. It looked like Fields might end up there, but Atlanta chose to overpay an aging middle of the pack QB.

Wasn't he a first round pick? And he has played pretty well on a mediocre at best team. Odd there weren't more takers. That 6th round pick is conditional- it can become a 4th depending on playing time etc. Looks like the initial plan is for Fields to backup Wilson though.

Steelers literally steal Justin Fields from the Bears for a 6th round pick in next years draft. I predicted this was gonna happen when they traded Pickett, but not for that meager price. There are bunch of teams that need a QB, and none were willing to give up a late round pick for this dude?

No. This isn't arbitrary. You need to read more. Google can be your friend, as long as you don't fall prey to disinformation. Plenty of that available on the subject.

Chilly morning, and a high of 62. Full sun. Hard to beat.

Transient cold shots(relatively speaking) in late March into April are pretty common. Freezing temps probably don't occur as often, but it still happens. None of this is as simple as you would like it to be.

There is no criteria.

I offer you a challenge for next winter- make useful posts that add something of value and interest to the discussion. Copying and pasting WB LR snow maps multiple times a day, or every other day, especially without any context, is so boring.

High of 77. Currently 75 at 530. No UHI here. Amazing. March is the new May?

Yes. It's 80 muthafucking degrees in DC. lol snow.

Yeah good luck with the 'bring the precip and I will take my chances' mantra. That rarely works outside of the western highlands these days. Need a legit cold air mass in place, and sometimes a wave moving along a thermal boundary with Arctic air pressing can work.

Glass half full- we had a period with 2 snow events a few days apart, in the heart of winter. Snow on snow (here at least). There was a deep winter feel for 10 days. With a bit of luck/better wave timing, it could have easily been better. We had nothing like that last winter. Expectations were too high, as usual. We suck way more than not when it comes to snow, regardless of Enso state. As for the seasonal/extended models and the persistently epic h5 looks depicted, lesson learned. Boilerplate warm ENSO. Lets remember that as we transition into a Nina, and we see consistently shitty looks advertised by the same models for next winter.

Yes, having a hobby with a singular desired outcome that you have no control over and is a rare occurrence is pretty sucky.

High of 68. A beautiful day for April 12th.

We all really need to move. Only time the grass is dormant/ I can't put (cool season) tall fescue grass seed down and expect it to germinate is early Dec through late Jan- not necessarily because of temps or lack of precip, but because the sun angle is low/days are too short. Probably would grow if that period torched with a persistent SE ridge. Coming soon..

A bit worried about the mileage for a 30 yo back, but seems like a good move given they let Gus walk. Should be a better version for a year or 2 if they are able to find replacements for the missing pieces on the OL and actually improve that unit, which was pretty mediocre at times last season. Ravens will find some hidden gem RB in the later rounds or as an UDFA. Mitchell probably won't be a factor this season- probably won't be ready to play at all until Dec at the earliest. Who knows about Dobbins.. might be time to move on.

Hudson Bay!

The Ji-WW alliance would prefer you post this in the other thread.

I might have headed to Canaan if I didn't have a class this week. Looks fun. https://www.canaanresort.com/resort/webcams/

After some morning sun and calm, clouds rolled in quickly and the wind just picked up dramatically. Moderate shower now.
