  1. Is there a set date that they are done for you? 12/26?
  2. Thank you. I see you as one of the board Dads and your contributions are always appreciated. Sure weather brought us here but at the end of the day we all have other things in common, the main thing being life. So whatever we can do to help each other out is a good thing. I didn't want my post to seem like attention getting but I alluded to stuff going on in one of my posts and Julian gave me the opportunity to elaborate. I really can't stand when people check themselves in at a hospital on social media for example and then don't say why they are there. I think one should either come out with it or not say anything and there's nothing wrong with coming out with it. I know I appreciate folks opening up a bit and not because I'm nosey but because we all have been through our fair share of shit in life and through shared experiences maybe we can help each other out.
  3. My asymptomatic son just text that one of his buddies out at ND, who has felt like crap for a week now, tested negative on two PCR tests but took three at home tests where he swabbed his throat and all three came back positive. Interesting stuff.
  4. @BxEngineChristmas carols still? Please advise.
  5. Thanks. There are worse hands out there though so we focus on that and one step at a time. One of the mantras I drilled into my sons heads from a young age is a slight twist on a Denis Leary quote which I adapted to "Sometimes life sucks so you better have a helmet"
  6. Yeah, 2022 picked up right where 2021 left off, all shit. My entire family has had COVID now over the past three weeks minus me and my wife, as far as we know. My kids all bounced back quickly, my oldest son is completely asymptomatic and my grandson only had a fever for a couple days that thankfully broke a few days ago now. My mother though tested positive a couple days ago and she was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer last week. My SIL was able to get her the 5 days OTC pills that were approved a few weeks ago. My mother reports some improvement this morning but still really tired, stuffy and a cough, and she was already on an O2 concentrator but she's putting up a fight which is obviously good. The same day we found out about my mother last week I had to put the family cat down, it was time as he was sick but it all sucks. Trying to focus on the positives and take 'em as they come. Take care of yourself and that goes for everyone here, dammit!
  7. There were some good indications the past couple days of the intense band but I didn't pay too much attention as I knew I was too far NW. Good for the folks who got under it though.
  8. The 12.4" I got on 12/3/19 definitely covered my grass for about 10 days but yeah, met winter was lame with 3.3" on 1/18/20 being the biggest total.
  9. Thankfully the roads I was on this morning were all well treated before the snow/sleet showers arrived about an hour ago.
  10. The traffic maps tell the story, a complete mess down there and over in CT
  11. Luckily in this case I’m too far NW for the precipitation this morning
  12. I managed one below zero low last season, -3 on 12/19/20. 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 were the only back to back winters here without any below zero lows
  13. One could argue that snow maps never get posted but that ship sailed years ago. That said, if ones contribution to the board is simply posting very readily available op snow accumulation maps for 10 days then they fall into the category of read more and post less IMO.
  14. Anyone who posts a 7-10 day snow accumulation map should be a lock.
  15. 41/39 now, coldest temps of the year thus far….
  16. May 2022 be good to us all. Tomorrow looks like a cold day smoking cirrus but what’s next?
  17. Happy New Year everyone. It’s been a shitty week for me but whatever, it’s life and could always be worse. Who here can bring us some luck in starting the 2022 thread here?
  18. @BxEngine this is up there too IMO
