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.
