North and West

A lot of people here are a lot smarter than I am, and I recognize the analytics behind their posts, but I always think of what I mentioned earlier when there are declarations and the emotional aspect behind them. Always a good reminder that anyone who thinks they know exactly what is going to happen - whether it’s weather, business, demographics, sports, or more - they’re playing a type of confidence game. They’re hoping you don’t know that they don’t know as much they do. In the past week, who saw the DeepSeek and Luka Doncic news coming? No one. Always take all of these proclamations with several grains of salt. . .

Also, “ripping.” It could just be “it’s snowing hard.” .

I disagree with that sentiment. That’s like the thought of “…We would have won the game except for the fastball that was clocked 450 feet into the second game.” Well sure, you would have won, but you didn’t, because the fastball was clocked at the one point in the fifth inning during an otherwise well-pitched game. It’s how averages work. .

I was just skimming through catching up on three hundred posts. Is it going to snow this week? Thanks. .

Thought you very emotionally stable individuals would get a kick out this. Four years ago, we brought home our puppy from eleventh hour rescue in Succasunna. This was Day Two. .

I bet you’re actually delightful to work with in person. Warm and loving the family, holding doors open, encouraging friends. .

but if you cancel winter, where could you get into verbal spats with strangers? .

Classics the whole family can enjoy! .

Come back around Thanksgiving to do it all again! Greatest hits include your favorite seasonal classics such as: It Never Snows Anymore When It’s Cold It’s Not Actually Cold Because When I Was Young It Was Colder Baby, It’s Warm Outside (Each and Every Christmas) No One Knows What’s Actually Going to Happen (Except for Me) Where You Live Is Not Part of the Metro Region Bonus Tracks: Insane Twitter Posts Clinically Insane Snowfall Maps .

NH is a tax haven around these parts. .

Agreed. Of course we want snow, but a good rain to both wash away some salt and refill reservoirs and aquifers would be very welcome. .

.

April will be unpleasant with high wildfire risk if precipitation continues sporadically as it has been. .

oh no .

This book was more than just that. A lot of basic stories of a lot of people who couldn’t admit that someone they don’t agree with (any politician) could be right about something and that themselves could be wrong; that closing beaches didn’t actually help (sunshine, vitamin d); school closings are hindering the poorest kids for many years on out and we’ll continue to feel the impact; the people making the vaccine didn’t have malicious intent; hospitals weren’t going to accept people if the beds didn’t make money. Just a cluster overall. .

I’m reading a book at this moment (just learned how to read out here) called The Big Fail. Basically covers how everyone everywhere from all points of view failed society during Covid. That was one of the points. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

They’re both terrific if you’re looking to be ill. .
