Are they playing the Minnesota game outdoors???

I think so.  Didn't Canada beat someone in the qualifying round in the past month in the snow?

I can confirm that I am not a distance swimmer after the meet.

how did your other events go?  Hopefully your coach doesn't put you there again.  :-)

I guess I am now, don’t know how to feel about that. 

I hate to say it this way without sounding like a cliché, but just take it one event at a time.    Focus on your your race plan at the start of each race and then reset when getting ready for the next one. 

One track meet a long, long time ago, I had to fill in for the 3200 relay, then run the hurdles next.   It wasn't that bad, but I know that swimming is a lot different. 

Good luck and let us know how you do.

I had 103” that winter. At one point in Feb there were drifts up to roofs. I would sign up for several bad winters to experience that again. 
 

some pics from a walk I took into town that year. 

Those pictures bring back the memories......My paper route was along good old Maiden Lane. :-)

Now you are. :-)

A distance swimmer, that is.  The highlight didn't quote properly.

Got my high school swim team events for our first meet tomorrow. Put me in 500 free 200 free then 200 free relay and 400 free relay. I am not a distance swimmer and thus might drown tomorrow. For those who don’t know swim just know that these are the longest events in the meet back to back and I am not great at long distance. For those who do know swim like @NorthArlington101 any tips would be nice. I should go a roughly 30 pace for the 500 so I should be fine but then I swim in the relay directly after and with this being my first high school meet it’s going to be a little rough. 

Now you are. :-)

  it’s not that bad. The discounts are nice

I had a friend who got a senior discount without on a meal...and they are not yet of age.  Talk about a kill joy....you see the discount and then read what it's for. :-)

3. Someone mentions suppression

4. The storm disappearing on the models for a day and the backlash of "it will never snow again"

5. Same people above return in droves as the models tease the storm again a run later.

6. The north trend happens which always seems to happen will surprise at least half the form

7. At least 5 weenie snowfall maps before day 3

8. Mt. PSU gets at least a foot of snow

9. Sun angle is still too low.

IMO, the best frame of mind is a pessimistic one. then you can't be disappointed when the winter sucks. 

Exactly!  Set the bar really low, that way when our expectations are more than met, we can be happy :-)

I'm in Woodbine. I think it's called Parrs Ridge. We're basically sitting right on top. It's really awesome compared to tropical AA County lol. I can't wait for winter to set in. 

You are close to me then.  You will definitely see a lot more frozen action up here.  Its also very windy year round as well.  Hopefully we have a white winter.

Really windy up here in Carroll County at 900' elevation this morning. Temp 45 but dropping. 

It IS gusty up this way this morning.  What part of the ridge are you now live on? 

question here....I see a praying mantis on the screen of my front window.  Looks like a female getting ready to lay eggs.  Should I move it to the bush where I normally see the egg cases, leave it be, or wait until tomorrow and move her if she is still there. 

Not trying to mess with Mother Nature, but just wanted to see if I am worrying about something that I shouldn't. 

Low of 25.7.  My daughter didn't wear a jacket to the bus stop and wore one of those shirts which has the stomach hanging out under an unbuttoned flannel.   If she complains about it being cold...so be it.  You can only fight some battles.

I have not read the books, but early reviews of the show were not so great. hope you enjoy it though!

I have not read the books either but wanted to check it out tonight.  Everyone is out but me and the dog. :-)

I also heard that the WItcher is coming out with Season 2 next month.  Also, if you haven't yet watched Good Omens, Its a decent show as well.  Its British, but extremely witty.

Wizards are 7-3 after 10 games... still early, but I like what i see after the win over the Bucks at home tonight

Harrell has really brought some life to the team.  I agree with you in that i'm waiting for the wheels to fall off, but I really think this is a different team.  Dinwiddie wants to prove a point to the whole East that he is one of the top point guards.  Kuzma should play better now that he is out of LA and the spotlight.  KCP is a defensive gemwho should help shut down opponents top player.  Beal is happy having help this year, and it will make him better since you can't always double him with the other threats on the court. 

I'm not saying that they are primed to make a run for the Championship, but it is a good positive feeling about this team and their future.   

Now, if we can only bring back the  name. 

No clouds here and a brisk 29.1 on the therm.

Kinda hard rooting for the Braves with their fans still doing the chop after all these years. Trashy and annoying. Weakly endorsed by MLB tho. So whatevs.

Reminds me of Kenny Fukkin Powers!

I have used Zoom, WebEx and MS Teams for everything from company based meetings to those across the my entire industry,    I'd agree that Zoom is probably the easiest to use. 

BWI: 23.7

DCA: 15.7

IAD: 29.3

Am I a total weenie for wanting to chase coastal flooding?

Had a planned "couples" trip to Bethany this weekend.  Heading down this afternoon around 3:00.  Hope to see some nice gusts this evening. 

Hopefully it's  not too bad tomorrow since we have a tee time at 12:55.

Mirror?

Last night in Eldersburg My daughter thought the same.  It was just very light drizzle/mist.  The qind gusts made it look  which looked like flurries by the way it was falling.
