Yeah I think it was 2015 - in NYC, it was the warmest Dec on record. It was warmer than Nov that year and the avg temp in December would've been like a top 10 November. Just insane.
i think that's the thing that's really been noteworthy over the past, I dunno, several years. We haven't had insane heat (generally) - it's just warm. Basically wire-to-wire.
Some other teams' booths have gone off about this - Gary Cohen (play-by-play for the Mets) and Michael Kay (play-by-play for the Yanks) have both basically said WTF. I watched the video and was waiting for the typical racist/misogynistic/bigoted thing that gets folks like this canned - and was waiting, and waiting, and waiting. I've never heard of anything remotely like this before.
Definitely you see them every so often in Western Augusta, but usually after they cross the Alleghenies. Yeah - I'd think it's pretty rare actually in Highland.
same - now that i own a house, not really thrilled about the prospect of dealing with it. It was different when we were in a big condo building with buried power lines all around us.
