Lower your expectations

Too bad the coach is a used car salesman who will piss the whole of it away.

Depends on how many pumps you chump out at.

Bad? Like knowingly eating sushi you got at Turkey Hill bad? Or getting caught ****ing your cousin bad?

Found the Christmas card sender in 2021, you guys.

I heard someone is offering Polar Vortex events? I'll take two.

Theirs is worse

Yeah. Unfortunately steps 1-12 involve stepping off of this forum. I'm not here too much during the non-winter months, and that's moreso because I'm enjoying the weather and what comes with it. I tend to come around for severe season or floods or record heat, anything extreme. Aside from that, I'm generally a ghost once winter has ended. Doing that during a winterless winter is also usually pretty therapeutic. It does require coming back every so often to make sure you're not missing a threat, but you can usually tell where you stand if the forum remains dead overnight. It's getting to be that time again.

Anybody gonna call it?

So, we're now at chasing MLK day for the cold, right? Lol

I'll take that over a cold rain every day. Every day.

You mother ****er

It was 25 here this morning when I took the kiddo to the bus.

Sterling mentioned the 12/21 threat in their overnight disco. So that's something.

Was he selling election meddling or talking about wrestling?

I just don't see any other solution. I'm sorry but until the five day forecast shows something, that leg is going to get a workout.

I guess the question becomes: How long does one chase this just out of reach change before realizing it's just a mirage and... punts? If we're now chasing New Years after chasing down after Turkey Day, and then mid-December, and then December 20, and then December 25... and now after New Year's, one can assume by the end of this week or next we're running down Dr. King's dream of cold and snow, and then hoping Cupid shoots George Warshington with a frozen arrow, and then Saint Patrick casts all the warmth out of America. And the next thing you know, you're bitching about the cold rain when you're supposed to be opening up the pool. No bad news on your channel? You need to upgrade to where the entire story is told lol

This is the meteorological equivalent of "buck fever."

At this rate, I'm just going to say everyone should anticipate being closer to record highs than anything remotely resembling winter until the models and a 5 day forecast suggest otherwise.

If I wanted to sit in a pool of warm water that doesn't move, I'd take a bath.

The Raiders stomped on the Chiefs logo pregame and it was 28-0 about five minutes in. Even when the game is just getting started, sometimes it's already over.

I got an email this afternoon from a sex bot. Absolutely nothing is safe from the Digital Whores of Babylon. Or should I say, New Delhi? Fun times.

Right but does that cold air eventually intrude eastward? In years where the Pacific stream dominates the entire continent, that cold air doesn't breach the US/Canadian border. Does that bowling ball of cold come east and does it stay? That may be the real story.

I mentioned punting in jest, but if I had to make a wager, I would be lying if I said I wouldn't put my money on a complete miss of a season. But that's based entirely on the following: 1) I'm a realist. Optimists misjudge realists as pessimists. Realistically, despite seeing several car and ground topper events IMBY already, the overall pattern has been complete dogeshit. Outside of a few people that I truly believe may be wishcasting based on some metrics that may not be worth the weight they are given, the general consensus appears to be a blah winter. 2) I genuinely believe the global climate as a whole is shifting to where the Northeastern quadrant of the NA continent is becoming a rainforest with overall cooling due to the winter max climbing and the summer max dropping with more overcast and showery days. I have precisely zero science to defend this belief, but it *seems* like with a very few outliers here and there, the winters for the past two decades have been warmer/wetter and the summers cooler/wetter. But that's just, you know... my opinion, man.
