WinterWolf

Ya…DST won’t be a full year thing. And that’s good. As others have mentioned, it will be the super late sunrises that will kill that idea. Elementary kids going to school in the dark in the winter isn’t gonna fly these days. I remember it as a kid one year we tried it…it never happened again.

I can understand some people hating the dark get up, dark commute to work, and then the dark commute home as well, in the late fall and dead of winter. My girlfriend absolutely hates that. As an elementary school teacher, even the shortest days and longest nights are still done in daylight for me.(not that it would matter if it weren’t for me). But I can understand the dislike/struggle by some.

It won’t be abolished. But for me, I’d be more upset if the standard time was abolished. I realize everyone is different, but I enjoy the early sunsets when they are here. As well as the later sunrises.

Especially when it eventually returns.

Going back to the loss of daylight…I realize it bothers a lot folks, even the ones who supposedly like/live winter. And I obviously don’t deny the idea that folks change as we get older. But the loss of daylight never bothered me…nor does it now in my early to mid 50’s. And to go a little further, it wouldn’t bother me at all if there wasn’t the possibility/likelihood of snow coming either. The early darkness regardless of winter weather is relaxing to me…even when it happens at 4:19 pm. The late sunsets actually are a little irritating to me after a while. Glad we’re losing time fast now. I know that’s not what most people like, but that’s just me.

What is a Bahama blue patter?

Jackpot here on that.

And even the NAM falls into line…a nice big drink tomorrow it looks like. Well we need it…….….said nobody ever.

Hmmm, Some home brew maybe….?

A disappointment….didn’t hold its strength all to well as we thought. Storm had about one day that was somewhat memorable…then it went downhill, and never recovered.

Last season (the foliage)was spectacular here…a few years before that it was gorgeous too. Some years it isn’t as vivid, some it is. Lots of factors play in to that equation each year. I remember a few years back…it was so dry, it was predicted to be a horrible foliage year. But then in September we got some soaking rains, and that’s all it took for the trees to respond, and it ended up being a spectacular fall foliage year, despite the dire predictions due to the very dry summer.

Ya saw that coming for a while…too far east in the end for you guys too. A yawner as is most(obviously not all) of the tropical up this way. Someday we’ll get a good one again, but for now the wait goes on.

As long as it snows good this coming winter…who gives a F*ck! But that’s just me. It’ll look good again next fall.

That’s because that dingbat with the pink hair was more concerned with showing her disdain for the USA, than doing her job.

Yes perhaps…that’s a possibility.

It’ll be lower intensity wise than expected by the time it gets to our latitude, and lower still by the time it gets to Down East Maine and N.S. Imo. She’s falling apart fast.

This thing is falling apart faster than the Giants did Sunday night. Looks like trash.

It’s 18z…enough said.

That’d be a feat at this point…but I guess there’s always hope…

Not here though. The wait goes on.

My grandfather said it looked like we were bombed after ‘38…trees snapped and cars flipped over everywhere, and buildings ripped open…this was New Britain, CT. And nobody knew it was coming…

A headwind? Wouldn’t you have a tail wind heading east/NE? Jet stream flows west to east overall, no?

So the Gustav winds here like in 02 are toast now….? I Kind of knew that was a pipe dream.

It’s 18z…of course it’s west. Happens like clockwork every day. Don’t fall for it.

If things don’t shift west some…I’d go to Eastport if it were me….that should be worth the drive, unless this thing really unravels over the next 24-36 hrs.
