  1. Wow... Just amazing. Even insane (in a good way!)! Really cool you were able to experience that, must have been awesome!
  2. Some last bit of fall color...and even a rose still blooming (black/white)!!
  3. Just think of all the freezing rain you'll collect as well, with liquid N2 cooling that snow board!!! You'll be at 50 degrees but getting 1/2 to 1" of ice accretion on that small area!!
  4. Elon Musk...a new verb! Wait...we can put in orders now for when we want snow? (Maybe only admins and monitors can do that!! )
  5. I don't really want to touch that one with a 10 meter cattle prod...but I do believe that might be illegal in at least 40 states!!
  6. That is an awesome view for sure!! Next MA get together will be at your place out in the sticks when it's all done!!
  7. Hey @Bob Chill! Congrats on the new place and good luck with the move! I know what a pain that can be. Just moved myself recently, now in north Bethesda/southern Rockville (would that be "upper Bethesda" or "lower Rockville"?? ). But once you're done, I'm sure it will be a huge relief! I guess with building the house, I can see why you would be hoping for a warmer winter!
  8. Got up at 4AM Tuesday for the lunar eclipse, and took a series of photos (first one of the full moon was actually taken earlier in the evening hours before the eclipse). Here's a gif animation...
  9. Well, honestly, we could use the rain for sure. A good 2-4" swath area-wide would help, and perhaps not be overwhelming.
  10. Too early in the season to queue up the "Jaws" music I suppose...but here's hoping you have many opportunities to do so as we get into winter!!
  11. What's the wind criteria for a leaf blizzard warning?
  12. Be sure you measure at 6 hour intervals and do NOT slant-rake!
  13. I think the Cleveland Guardians (my home town team!) is one of the only teams that actually plays mostly small-ball these days. They don't have a lot of HR power, so this is kind of by design. This season they were quite good at getting runners on base and moving them around, not relying on the home run for everything. Even though they didn't win the ALDS vs. the Yankees, you could see how effectively they used that in that series, and they certainly gave the Yanks a scare!
  14. And some early morning autumn fog the other day. Black and white made it feel more "mysterious."
  15. Some Japanese maples...they almost look like some kind of impressionist painting!
  16. You too, mappy! Hope all is well. My daughter was literally 364 days old for her first Halloween (her birthday is Nov. 1!), but we scored some good candy for adults in the neighborhood all the same. The "awww, look at the baby, have some candy for yourselves!" ploy! Of course, now she turns 19 tomorrow so any mention of "trick or treat", even in jest, gets an eye-roll and a "Really, dad? I'm not 5 anymore!" (she's currently at U MD).
  17. So this is what the former staff of the old Panic Room is doing to make ends meet! Pretty cool! Glad @WxWatcher007 and his staff are keeping some tradition going. Halloween is like the Panic Room version of Mardi Gras! As far as Starbucks is concerned, my guess is that the coffee just goes right through them!
  18. Well, disappointed that the Guardians lost last night. Oh well. But to be honest, I never expected them to even force a decisive game 5 vs. the Yankees, and damn near nobody even thought they'd win their division (let alone be in the post-season) with the youngest lineup in baseball! So, maybe hope for next season then. I'm proud of them all the same! Thanks, Guards, for an amazing run!!!!
  19. Haha, maybe so, that's true! There's nothing like knowing we're getting pummeled when @Bob Chill pulls out the large "shock" emoji after a model run! But you gotta admit, that Bryce Harper face is amusing!!
  20. I nominate Bryce Harper's reaction to Schwarber's home run last night as our new "shock" emoji () when a model hammers us with snow!!
