SnowenOutThere

Don't know about your pool but all of the 10 plus coaches in training (high school kids) are in the water for the whole practice they coach making sure the kids don't drown and yes the air quality was bad enough to be harmful for developing kids which I'm pretty sure still includes teens. I've only been going outside with a mask on since yesterday and before that I've gotten nasty headaches and congestion. I've also been tired but that may or may not be related to the smoke. Either way the right decision was definitely to cancel it.

Pool closed yesterday for afternoon practice thank god, didn't want to have to coach in that. You need to remember when making your decision that by making it "optional" it fill forces the coaches and kids that coach to show up. My morning outdoor actual swim practice didn't cancel today but elected to not go.

Those damn underwater volcanoes are at it again!

Weak, its not even as cold as it was last year.

I took the day off school last Friday to play through it and its been an amazing experience, it truly builds on every single mechanic of Botw and fixes almost all of its problems but please explore all of Botw before Totk because after starting Totk. Despite how good Botw is Totk makes it feel unfinished and like a first draft. Also I've played for like 30 hours and there is still so much more to do, the world feels so much more interconnected and alive. The story (at least how far I've gotten) also seems to be more in depth. So yes please play it. They even managed to make the sunsets and sunrises look even better than Botw.

Some of us weren’t old enough to experience such past storms, just another thing climate change takes away from the next generation.

Definitely some good rotation.

Gfs with a fantasy tropical thing in the Gulf of Mexico. It’s almost the time of year for us to start tracking the tropics.

This is the one

High wind watch in effect for the metros

Look at all of that red

I am always open to being bribed over to another team if the price is right. My team is pretty similar, there has always been a way things are done which often has lead to issues. Hopefully the board makes some good changes this year that make the whole process more transparent.

Climate change and its effects should be "alarming and "worrying", it should also be somewhat demoralizing that we are permanently changing our climate for the worse and some people don't even believe it on a weather forum.

Something about the graph seems off because according to https://www.weather.gov/media/lwx/climate/dcasnow.pdf the 1950s had several below average years but also a winter with 18 inches of snow (53-54) yet there is no positive spike on the chart, it also says that the average for the chart is 11.6 but Im not sure where they got that number from or if stayed consistent on the graph as time passed.

Just days before it happened it looked like a non event for everyone, just because you didn't get jackpotted doesnt mean it didn't trend positively.

We had the January 3rd storm that trended in our favor last year

CMC barely has any energy off the east coast.

This post is somehow more confusing to me than Chuck's posts.

It’s snowing outside near Reston.

The big ones are sniffed out early as they say

Because now I’ll need to stay up an extra hour to watch the Euro cave to a rainstorm.

Light rain and 43 degrees out, feel like we will see a lot more of that obs than snow ones.

FYP

It’s super interesting and could tie into why the Atlantic is on fire which in turn pumps the southeast ridge.
