Grabbed another 0.25” yesterday evening/early morning. 2.25” total.

I feel honored…truly, I do. We did get a good draw. Got the best Pot 2 result possible and got a playoff UEFA team. Turkey could be tough, but better than some other options. Paraguay is not a bad CONMEBOL draw at *all*. I’m feeling strangely good about this group. Poch is figuring out what he’s got to work with and has them all pulling in the same direction. If we stay healthy, we can make a real statement.

For any of you considering watching a replay of the World Cup draw…don’t. You can thank me later…

That beer is absolutely amazing. Their 2018 vanilla was also killer! I still have one 2018 left, though having done a tasting with both 2018 and 2024 last year, it had definitely started to fall off a bit. I like the smaller 10 oz bottles for regular BCBS this year. Don’t need to drink a whole 500 ml bottle in one go!

I’m here

Knockout roses DGAF…

Just measured 2” in Burke. Not a bad way to start a season. December 5 kicking things off in the right way!

Really been coming down in Burke for the last 15 minutes or so in this last band. Kids got to play in the snow with friends and the pup, then headed off safely to school two hours late. Just a beautiful morning!

Early-December sun angle is doing a number on the sidewalks and roads here in Burke. They were covered only an hour ago. Now they’re completely clear. 1.5” as of 9:45 am…

11/30: Mix of sleet and light rain for a couple hours before switching to light cold rain. 12/2: Mix early in the morning before flipping to hard, cold rain.

Cold rain is not the best. In fact, it’s the worst. Fairfax county screwed up by somehow announcing the delay, but they quickly backed off. Good thing since it’s just shitty cold rain.

On the board with my first Trace of the season after starting with some light sleet this morning. Nasty out there before the precip slackened. 34 and light rain just blows…

Not everyone will.
