If the Spire is in, then I’m in.

Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well, Will, but…the f*ck are you talking about?

Thats why I qualified it with the words “right now.” You think I haven’t been at this shit with the rest of you for like 20 years? I know how to cover my ass…

The Christmas season is obviously the best time to get a banger pattern with multiple shots at snow, but the next-best option is to have that same setup during our coldest part of the year. Gives us a little wiggle room with temps, and sun angle/length of day are still much more favorable than when we get into mid-February. Loving the general positive vibes right now. We say this a lot, but just being able to track potentially realistic outcomes beats the hell out of wishing that an established crap pattern will somehow flip and turn into a snowy one in our neck of the woods!

I honestly haven’t been following all that much recently, but I gotta say that I’m super intrigued (along with everyone else) by the progged look starting a week or so out. If we can swing a little something before then, then it’ll take quite a bit of the edge off tracking come the beginning of next week.

Tomer is a f’ing weenie.

But I thought…

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. 12/5: 2.25”. 2” in the man event and 0.25” later that evening/overnight. 12/13: 1.25” Running Total: 3.5”

Got a few flurries coming down here in Burke right now. Yay!

She loves you so much that she would do it on her own.

Agreed. Op models are going to show vastly different results at these kinds of ranges - we all know this. Will it remain cold with chances of snow at Christmas? I personally hope so, but if it torches, then I break out the clubs and get a few rounds in while I’m on PTO (and I honestly would play even if it’s chilly and dry). It’s a win-win!

Yeah, but now we’re within range, so let’s get ready for the torch. Boxing Day =

12/5: 2.25”. 2” in the man event and 0.25” later that evening/overnight.

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.
