I remember the one time it was throwing 48+ inches out for many. That was a, 'Please God let this happen'.

See that is why you should move up to the favored locales to the North and West where you can score. 38-42 degree rainstorms is where it is at.

I am thinking I should be offended.

Duly noted.

Nah, I am talking back in the early 70's, you youngster, you.

The best kind. Remember as a child down somewhere around Catonsville/Elliott City had a snow squall that has never been topped. Saw 5-6 inches in maybe 30-45 minutes. Didn't have thunder but we had snowflakes that were coming down almost the size of baseballs. Never seen the like since.

Looking online it looks as if it runs around $12 a bottle? So ask yourself, would that cheap SOB Snowme pay $12 a bottle? Sounds good, not sure I could find it up around here though. Might have to check.

I see the alcoholics are having their nightly AA meeting. Can I join? Sounds like fun.

Nope. Nothing.

Hope that measurement is in feet and not inches.

Digging the hole deeper and deeper I see. This will be filed with the rest of the paper work I will submit to the Reaper.

Blasphemy! Heretic! Off with his head! eta: so I guess mine would be a NO vote.

Describes my wife down to a tee.

Great idea. Oh wait... that only works if everyone ignores him and doesn't respond to his posts. I am not knocking your suggestion. It's just that on the rare occasions I have put someone on ignore it didn't mean squat because of all the responses to the said poster.

It just never ends. It goes on and on and on and on and on.....

If you can make lemonade out of the lemons the models are throwing at us you're a better man then me. of course there was a moment while looking in the long range where I did go hmmmmmm but then I realized it was only gas.

You're just jealous that he is another weenie soul you will never get your hands on.

You do me proud, losetoa6. You do me proud.

Not singling anyone out but coming in here anymore is like a...

Likened to vinyl records that when severely scratched (i.e., "broken") can loop over the same recorded segment endlessly.I feel like a broken record having to tell you this each day, but please clean your room!

LOL. Yeah, threw me when I first moved up here as well. The best way I can explain it is a technically a property tax that specifically goes towards the State schools vs. your typical Real Estate taxes that you also receive. Takes a pretty big bite out of you. And yes, you continue paying even after you retire. No freebies there. What helps offset these taxes though are the fact that property values are much cheaper then what you see down through MD/VA and especially around DC.

Kinda have to agree with him. It has been rough sledding at times in there the last month are so where it was nigh on unreadable. You might not realize it when you are part of the conversation but for those of us that quite often can only jump on periodical it is very noticeable. I have also been part of the problem as well with some banter posts so I will take part of the blame. ***But in my defense after reading through the thread I quite often lost track of the fact it was the disco thread and not the banter thread. *** Now after dealing with this issue for the last several years I am pretty much done complaining. If this is what people want then let them have it. It's not really what I want so more then likely my absences from the thread will become more frequent and lengthier. I am sure most wouldn't miss me.

Be careful with PA. There is a very real chance they will be going after that money (low hanging fruit) sometime in the near future. Their debts are piling up (biggie is the Teachers Pension) and their fiscal responsibility is going in the tank as we see spending ramping up. There is only so long they can reshuffle money and kick the can down the road before the bills will be due. Wife and I were seriously considering moving to Somerset in two years to stay in PA for the tax benefits on pensions but have recently started to reconsider for those very reasons stated above. They also hammer you pretty hard on Real Estate and school taxes as well and would not be surprised to see them jump up even more as the State searches for money.

Might have had some flurries while I was sleeping but nothing to show for it when I woke up this morning.

Getting to bed at 10:00? Yeah, way past my bedtime when I am normally getting into bed at 6:30-7. Had my favorite nephew fly into town with his wife of 3 months so we went out for dinner. Went to Texas Roadhouse in Westminster and it drove home one of the reasons we got out of MD 15 years ago. The place was an absolute mad house. Spent 15 minutes just trying to find a parking spot along with another dozen or two cars as we circled the restaurant. Finally parked up the hill around the Pizza Hut. Kind of irked me though when both my nephew and his parents who joined us were both able to find spots instantly when they pulled in 30 minutes later even though it was just as busy. Didn't help matters that we had an hour wait, outside no less because of what limited waiting space inside was jam packed with people. Yeah, don't miss MD at all.

Looking at radar you can see the down sloping's impact. Radar returns are getting real ragged. Hoping I can eek out a dusting here but I am not too confident.
