No disrespect, but I’ve been disappointed in the quality of the panic rooms here and in NE. I had no idea how much I was actually needed. 

It's a shame *he* retired, this winter would have been the greatest weenie harvest of his time.  He could've retired on top.  Instead it's like Tom Brady...retiring with a good cry on ESPN.  Eh, but you wouldn't care about this sort of thing.

I'll take that bet.

Since 2017 we really haven't had much obscene heat.  Not much snow either.  Coincidence?   

Weatherbug caved overnight and it's back to rain for Sunday.  Definitely over now.

Oh...I thought you were referring to the "500 Free Spins" that you get!!

Much more likely to come out ahead in those than actually see snow on Sunday.  

A hail Mary!  WeatherBug shows snow.  First time this winter I think.

Track all the way down to North Georgia for this one.

Congrats on your $5,000 purchase.

I don't know what this means. 

Me neither.  I was referring to the clown map.  But yeah, I'm just waiting for my PS5 to update because me and my former college roommates are pretty pathetic on Tuesday nights.

Pivotal has it as heavy snow

 

What a legend.  

What a loss with the 12Z.   I guess I'm just going to have to drink alone dreaming about the glory days.  Maybe I'll watch my HS track videos or something.

Being a CEO in that box is like being a Russian oligarch near a window.

Easy come, easy go

Flys all over the country to fire CEOs lol

They'll be shitting their pants when they see her in the celebrity box lol.

 

Lmao, she just fired one before Christmas.  She's having a hard time hiring his replacement though.  Whatever, there ain't no snow in Arizona.

What does your wife do that she gets to go to the super bowl in a skybox?

Private equity.  Top of the capitalist food chain.  

Forget all this technical brouhaha analysis.  As happens every year at this time, my wife's boss has a celebrity box at the super bowl.   They get a security deal, the whole nine yards.  All the CEOs attend.  Alas, spouses aren't invited, so I'm left at home to drink alone fantasizing that one day the Detroit Lions will make it to the top stage.  Some dreams never come true.

But this year with a threat inside d5 I actually pity my wife.  Two model runs in a row showing snow.  Yeah I'll watch the game and get copious text msgs with pics of famous people, but deep inside I'll know that I'm the one experiencing the super bowl in person.   The super bowl of snow.

Side question - you take your ex to the doctor? 

Lol as long as my (doesn't exist) ex can do 0-60 in 2.7sec then yes, you're right.

Ok.

Did that reply give you the dopamine hit that you dreamed it would?

Drove the X to Annapolis today to go to the Dr.   As I drove down the street I saw that the red maples that get a lot of sun are already blooming...no joke.  It's over.

I do exactly the same thing. My setup isn't fancy, by any stretch, but it's been effective!

I'm shooting to get my seeds started this coming weekend, with an eye to getting my peppers and tomatoes in the ground by the first weekend in May. If it looks like we're headed for a cold snap around then, I'll push that date to the right, as apporpriate.

Haha, mine isn't fancy either.  Peppers are planted!   This year I may not do tomatoes...we live in the middle of an old growth forest and as years have gone by we get less and less sun.  Combined with the squirrels and crows and I get hardly any tomatoes for us to eat.  It's weird because they say peppers need a lot of sun but my Lola/Sweet peppers get dozens of peppers every year, however I'm lucky to get ten tomatoes.  At this point I basically just grow them to get tomato hornworms every year.  

One thing that does do well in shady conditions is lettuce!  This year I broke down and ordered a cold frame from my burpee catalog.  Put it up yesterday and I'm going to plant my lettuce seeds after this post.  Radishes too.  I love to fry radishes with butter and garlic.  

I'm literally about to plant my Lola pepper seeds to get ready for spring!  I use covered seed trays, a heated mat, and LED grow lights on automatic timers and every year my peppers and tomatoes grow like gangbusters.  I also have a small desktop fan that I run on a timer every few hours to strengthen the seedling and prevent them from getting too leggy and flopping over.

Man the next time we actually get a snowstorm we're gonna be so jaded going in we won't believe it even if it's a classic Miller A with enough cold and consistent model runs of a crushing 2 Days away, lol

Sorry to hear you're drinking again.

Yes, yes we do.  The radio still works and it’s clear as a bell don’t ask me why

Awesome.  I was gonna put away the -20F sleeping bags for the year but with the latest GFS I feel we need to write it plain and accept that -30DFN is on the table.  At 300Hrs...of course.
