or get amazon prime for a few Yankees regular season games lol

I have a smart TV it doesn't work for some reason because wifi here is bad and it doesn't detect a connection. There are major advantages to cable-- mine is packaged (phone, internet, TV), so with just one bill I get 200 channels of TV, gigabit internet and flat rate phone service for all the US and Canada

especially since it comes from NBC. they make too much money as it is.

I believe each tool as a purpose, a phone is for making phone calls, a camera is for taking pictures, a computer is for..... computing lol, a television is for watching television. This isn't old fashioned, it's called specialization. I can't tell you how many idiots I know who have no idea how to hold a camera because they hold a phone vertically. These are people of average intelligence (boring) with below average knowledge. If they had more specialized tools they'd actually learn how to use things and develop real skills. I still do math in my head (don't need electronic devices), and another reason I'm glad I grew up before cell phones is because cell phones have been proven to cause brain developmental issues... I fear we're going to have a whole generation of kids who will grow up not knowing how to think properly-- we already have people whose faces are glued to their phone as they walk (or even worse, drive.) I made a conscious decision to get rid of my cellphone and all credit cards, because I don't want to be a slave to this modern addiction.

as long as it's sunny it's good we just dont want the rain, fog, mist, crap

Imagine if there was a game at that time in Green Bay or Minneapolis lol, it would probably set the new cold record.

The last two springs have been pretty good though, dry and very warm and low humidity and not much rain-- this is why my allergies have gotten much less-- but they come back in summer when it rains lol

Yeah but people do watch Cable TV. I would rather the game was on ESPN. No one wants to watch these games on their phone or computer.

I agree-- streaming services actually cost more if you want to see the same level of different kinds of programming. also, I don't want to watch TV on my phone.

I'd rather just skip the games altogether. When I'm online I'm not thinking of watching TV lol.

What's the advantage of streaming? It actually costs more to stream than cable TV costs to get all the same networks. I'd rather have cable. Plus who watches sports on their phone?

But who wants to watch a game on their phone? It makes no sense.

We've had that here..... in 2003-04 we had a snowstorm where the temps were in the single digits and the winds were blowing like 30 mph. In January 1996 the blizzard started with temps in the single digits also. I'm trying to remember our lowest wind chills, but the way they were calculated changed back in the 90s I think. Before that we'd regularly get wind chills down to -60 with the old calculation method lol. With the new method, I think -30 to -35 is the coldest wind chill we've had.

Thursday-Friday? It's going to be below freezing from Monday through Sunday next week (at least according to News 12).

If I remember correctly, the record coldest temp ever recorded in the CONUS is actually -70, from West Yellowstone?

extreme temps are absolutely awesome, some of the most interesting of all weather changes. Rapid City and Spearfish can have rise or drop 100 degrees in a few hours lol

With that said, we are going to be below freezing for highs for 7 consecutive days, that's pretty impressive

and then we have the late next week storm to look forward to

When was the last time anywhere in the CONUS got to -60?

Good thing is, we might get to double digit snowfall before that happens, a full 7 days with highs every day below freezing here.

Yep, we have seen big winters before, even with a -PDO. It's not about trying to obtain perfection, but just trying to get to average snowfall for the season.

I'll never forget how enthusiastic he was about January 2016 (although it didn't affect his area nearly as much as it affected us down here), but he called that storm moving north to give NYC an HECS and that's exactly what happened.

The polar bear swimmers must have had a fun time in 2004 lol. That entire month was frigid!

Wow that's interesting that both Arctic outbreaks were in the middle of February! One feature of our modified climate is how February has warmed up more than January has and our coldest temperatures have moved from February into January (and likely most snowfall also.)

I like the cold February idea too, but let's wait until the last week of January to look at these.
