North Balti Zen

Virga has been SO persistent here since i moved up this way. Feels like it is snowing 1000 feet up forever before we get it to the ground. At least I got five minutes worth today. Will see how long it tries to snow.

11:29 am the snow drought is over for my house in Monkton. Legit light snow. I will record a "T" today finally.

I think two work items are gonna make it impossible. Will just hope to get five minutes here at the house before it rains.

Much appreciated friend. Trying to figure out if I can make a run just to see some snow fall and stick for a bit. Would be nice to see that can still be a thing.

How far north would I hypothetically have to go to actually see some snow? North of York? All the way to Harrisburg?

No you don’t.

Heh. Kinda actually.

People at the office asking when the snow gets here - I barely have the heart to tell them the truth.

NAM just tired of getting dunked on. I get it.

It’s even better somehow.

Last of Us is absolutely excellent. Terrifying, but excellent.

.25 --- so much sadness

Not for nothing, but re: the Feb 1 - 10 "window" - let's just go ahead and cash in early, middle and late on that. None of this catch it at the end, stuff. Let's just bring home all the chances. We deserve it.

Five miles southwest of map, three flakes. I suck.

I grew up in Cincinnati until 7th grade and then central Ohio until college and then back to cincinnati for a few years after college. Never stopped rooting for them. DirecTV for every game since 1996. Been a long time coming, for days this good as a fan.

And, seriously, the hardest game potentially was last week. I HATED having to play the Ravens and that D and running game again. Every time, like going for a root canal, playing the Ravens.

Mahomes' knee such a wild card. The Chiefs irritation at the Bengals having won last 3 over them including AFC title last year a wild card. Bengals' o-line health a wild card. Game opened as a pick'em I think. Feels right. No idea what to expect but happy to root for a team that no one should be taking lightly anymore. Been a long long time coming. 10 playoff wins in franchise history - 5 of those in the last two years. Just feels different now...for good reason. God bless backing into Burrow three years ago...

as the board's resident bengals fan...who dey!

Thanks BobC…much appreciated post.

If that is what it is, that would be one thing. But it is not what that is. It immediately drifts to climate change stuff and that is, by request of those who run this site, to be had elsewhere. In plenty of places. take it up with a mod. Take it up with Randy. But for godssake, please take it up with them elsewhere.

No worries, and, welcome to the forum!

that discussion has been had and is being had in a thread on this sub-forum. Read there. Good discussion there.

there's literally two forums on this board AND a special thread in this sub-forum that YOU started for that discussion. It can be discussed plenty. I read in that thread, the discussion is good! But why can't you just keep it there? How is that so hard for you to adhere to? You are a teacher, you cool with your class rules just being ignored by your students?

that is, technically, indeed NW of the cities...

it is genuinely borderline hilarious how even one quasi-good run from one model this winter is immediately followed by a run that is not just bad but borderline end of days bad by the very next model to go...
