After some introspection....I can see what has happened and I feel awful and absolutely ashamed (not the first time). I admit I don't always know what to do with the angst, and this place became an echo chamber that I think I mistook for purely a venting space as opposed to a place where other people are actually looking for good analysis. All this time I'VE been part of the problem for why folks leave. I've been the mutee (ironically getting annoyed with others for being debs...lol). One thing becoming clear is I am indeed the one in the wrong. I'm becoming part of the negativity...and that's wrong. I have no idea why I am the way I am on here...for some reason tracking snow on here brings out the absolute worst in me (probably not to do with any of you, though). I think what would be disappointment on one particular day or two of a missed storm is compounded by days of tracking before hand...increasing the mental investment and eventual "crash". And when you're already feeling crappy out it, then you come back on here and the negative emotions are reinforced in the echo chamber...compounding your own! An unhealthy cycle... Now, am I still worried about future snow prospects? Yes (not sure I'll fully believe we can still get a legit hit of snow until we get it. Not the most logical, but that's where my brain is at right now)--However, because of this, I'm learning to enjoy and be grateful for what we do get. (Never had I been more excited for flurries than the other day...that's when I knew I was beginning to see things a little differently, lol) All that to say...I am truly sorry for any damage I've done to the enjoyment of this forum. I will try to do better and be better.

We got some real jerks on here, I'm telling ya...man don't vent about snow on here. Wrong place!

I don't get it...like, seriously. Like it's illogical to want snow, or be disappointed when it doesn't. I mean who here ain't? So again...explain. You're NOT supposed to do any of those things?

Exactly where I'm at. I'm resigned...especially given this nina. But yet...when I speak from where I'm at (that this winter is pretty much a foregone conclusion based on nina history), I somehow need to...calm down? Act like an adult? What...I'm just being a realist (or so I thought).

What? That's not really an answer. Ya condescend a lot

While have a hard time believing a nina can be a roll of the dice (unless it's all the sides say "sucks", lol)...I guess any period of cold+ storminess can be worth tracking to see if we can get a few crumbs from something that passes north! And yeah we have been lacking a bit in excitement this year...though severe season did have some nice moments (at least imby). Side note: I was a bit confused about why the hurricane season ended so abruptly given the nina state...

1) I sure would like to know how you think people SHOULD act--especially in the most predictable ENSO state for the region. 2) That is true...history bears that out. And even in our best winters, mid Jan--President's Day (and occasionally early March) are the peak times.

Uh...dude? It is a nina after all! Southern stream doesn't exist in these, lol

How about the tacit resignation button? I think I pressed that in August, lol

ixnay? Lol

While I don't quite remember the details of the 2000 Ravens games...from what I've heard ya saw a lot of first half scores that looked like this, lol

Was literally just saying this...the end zone must give off pollen in the first half...lol

Well then...allll by myself...

Ah lucky! Dang it you're out of the Baltimore City clan...be gone @nw baltimore wxguess it's just you, me, and maybe one other...lol (as far as people who post, anyway)

Flurries! Flurries!! First flakes of the season

Was about to say...it fits! Lol Tbh I'm not convinced the strat warm really does anything...I mean, has it in the past?

Are you really thankful?...

Wishing all of you a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

Yeah I'd like to know the same thing!

Has been awhile since we got one though! WDI for clippers?

After Dalton burned us again I just knew it was over...and then Huntley hit Sammy deep inside the 5 and I was like I'll admit that when I heard Lamar was out I had kinda written this game off! And then faith and favor once again came in and we pull off yet another improbable victory. I'm telling ya there's something with this team! Yes December is gonna be pivotal. Very interested to see if we heat up in December--as Harbaugh teams tend to do (heck even just last year...took a 5-game winning streak into the postseason!) And of course 2012 also had moments like today (i.e. 4th and 29, lol)...but I don't think the wins were THIS crazy, haha So...is the 7-3 start flukey...or "meant to be"? We shall see!

Then ya gotta wonder if whatever underlying issue he may have may acted up with the cold...I mean he sure seemed fine in the presser on Friday, but...

Except...they'll have to do it without Anthony Averett (and Jimmy Smith fwiw)...sheesh. It's been wack-a-mole...we get Mekari and Boyle back but then other folks are out! Sheesh

I think he may have a chronic condition they're not disclosing (that's his business, of course). But most of the time you'd see him miss a day or two and then he'd be good to go (and usually light it up that Sunday...lol In fact I think the famous spin move came the Sunday after he'd had one of his bouts of whatever it is he gets) Now sure we win today (not confident in Huntley if things are close...he just doesn't have the experience!). But thankfully we have a little room...I think the miracle wins we've had are happening for a reason!

I never did understand this...folks said it last year but I never understood what was meant by "trapped on the other side". Trapped by what? (I'm not sure I can Google this, or even what TO Google, so someone kindly help me out here)
