Most haven’t had a snowstorm in almost 2 years and they’re gonna be picky lol  If a hot air balloon went overhead flown by a pilot with a bad case of dandruff I’d call it a win at this point. 

Yup...January 2019 is what I assume you're referring to from "almost 2 years ago".  And anything would beat the 1.5" slush that I got last year for the "largest" event (and about 2" total for the season, woo-hoo!).

ETA:  Oh, and I think some people forget just how bad it was in December 2015, when we had a +11 degree departure from normal for the month.  Just let that sink in for a moment.  Eleven.  Degrees.  Above.  Normal.  When it's unpleasantly muggy and damp on Christmas Eve, you know December sucks.  Thank God that kind of departure didn't happen in July!  Of course, a few weeks later we had a storm for the ages, but anyhow...

Yeah @losetoa6 mentioned that in the short range thread. I’m okay with a quick hitting heavy rainer if it gives chance for something early next week. The light dusting I got yesterday has me jonesing for more 

I hear you on that!  Would be nice to not trash the entire weekend with more rain, rain, rain (not like we need more terribly much!)...have that move out quickly and potentially allow some chance of snow early next week (even if small), would be great about now.

P27 and call it a winter 

Ha!  I was just about to write the same exact thing!

(ETA:  Well, almost...wouldn't really want to "call it a winter" after that in December.  But I know what you mean!)

Ahh it’s so good to be in winter mode. 

What is this "winter" you speak of???

ON DECEMBER   2?   LOL

  some things never change 

This year...it's actually good to know there are some things that are consistent and expected (even the content of Ji's posts)!!

Everybody knows you need to turn your house into a beacon so the Miller A’s don’t miss. 

Is that the Holiday display for the Panic Room this year?  Looks cool!  It would be a nice welcome for all those cliff-jumping lost souls at Christmas.  Maybe some spiked eggnog at the door, too, when you go in!  And perhaps a skeletal Santa...

And folks...we have our 2nd Griswold finalist!!  The competition looks fierce!  Any other entries??

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a Griswold finalist!

There’s not enough cold air to work with imo. Not saying it couldn’t work, but it’s a longshot

Yes, seems to be the problem around these parts all too often!  And this early in the season, especially.  But still nice to see potential out there instead of wall-to-wall Pac puke with no end.  Positive signs...for now, at least!

Hope everyone had a good day. Mr.J does not care for Turkey and we have not celebrated a traditional Thanksgiving day in years. So this year we had shrimp and grits. 

That looks awesome!  I almost feel hungry again and I ate not too long ago!

And a "traditional Thanksgiving" is what you make of it, really, that's all that should matter.  I hope you all had a good one!!!

Why the hell are there chicken di*&S on that plate! I would use better sausage than that 

Glad you stopped by and put these people right!  Whew!  Be glad you missed some of the things shown there earlier, including the infamous Vienna sausages and Spaghetti-Ohs!

And I'm sure you appreciate only the best sausage, eh?  (apologies...sort of!...on the double-entendre there, seems RR took control of the keyboard!) 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thank you supreme court for recognizing that there are some principals that truly rise above all others.

I'll try not to get overly political in here, and will only say that I strongly disagree.

I would just like to chime in and say I too don’t wear pants.

Just letting things air out underneath that reaper cloak?

Reminds me of that "Seinfeld" episode where they realize Kramer isn't wearing any underwear...

Jerry: Don't you see what's goin' on here? No boxers, no Jockeys...
(Elaine backs away from Kramer, disgusted)
Jerry: The only thing between him and us is a thin layer of gabardine...Kramer, say it isn't so.
Kramer: Oh, it be so.
(Jerry turns his head in disgust)
Kramer: I'm out there, Jerry, and I'm lovin' every minute of it.

I’m everywhere.

In every drop of cold rain that runs down your face in December...

In every ice crystal in a cirrus cloud from a southern slider in January...

In every energetic sunbeam that burns the skin during a hot February day...

Destroying weenie snow hopes since...oh, hell, whatever century!

Can we add a "WTF?!" button to the emoji list, or as one of the reactions for posts??

I’ve consulted with Dr. Bones and she tells me that the only virus our skeleton crew has to worry about is weenie panic.

Whew!  Well, that's good to know!  I did hear that the "Marrow"vingians might be immune, too!  At least, that was a rather "Frank" assessment!

Just days before we officially open up too. I hope they’re not trying to muscle in on our territory.

Shame they didn’t call us for clean up. We’re professionals at it. As an aside, our gardening business is really taking off. We offer top notch fertilizer. All natural.

Quite impressive on the outdoor improvements to the Panic Room!  I await the disco room, which should be hoppin' this year!

(ETA:  Yeah, they're not wearing masks nor are they socially distanced!  Probably not good to be scapula-to-scapula like that!)

If you want to use weather to describe things it was like people discussing the 84hr NAM when it was only out to 12. Too many were trying to say what was going to happen without all the data or letting the run happen. Personal bias of “too warm”, “looks tasty” etc crept in and clouded the discussion. 
 

So the decision was to go storm mode and get back to actual weather. 
 

If those that left got upset by that then they lost sight of what this message board is supposed to be for. But no one was run off. 

Change "NAM" to "DGEX" or "CRAS" and you're spot on!!

Gourmet meal right here

OK, somehow that looks like a meal bizarro-world @Mrs.J might concoct (or she'd have to be high on acid)!!

(with all due respect, Mrs. J, all in humor here!)

Maybe it would help if you find a nice wine pairing to go with it?

Ha!  That might be difficult.

However, a BLT sandwich with fine champagne is actually quite a good pairing!

Yeah, that's a hell of a storm on both models.  Problem is, we're on the wrong side.   Plenty of time left...and...150 hours

Ha, that seems to be our problem all too often!  But nice to see something interesting out there at least.

Good to see you Stormtracker, hope all is well!

very true. but with ketchup? ugh

Indeed...that only makes it *worse*!!

ketchup on everything isnt a deal breaker by itself. ketchup with vienna sausages and spaghetti-Os is a bit too far. 

Vienna sausages and spaghetti-Os is a bit too far just by itself!

bacon

 

Yes, I went there

Oh...no, no, no...you did NOT!  You DID!  Such desecration of bacon shall not be tolerated!!

Spam, on the other hand...(spam, spam, spam, spam, SPAM!  Wonderful spam!  Thank you, Monty Python!)
