    But but people here bitch when they put down salt. Fact is it save injuries and death so they have to deal with a little salt BFD. Constant whining and complaining about anything and everything.  DOT did an unreal job on the squall day. That could have been disastrous.  They had trucks on the ready and laid down salt a half hour before the squalls hit. Its sometimes unreal in here to read grown ass men and women bitch about the minute things.

    I've got no problem with salt when needed, especially on some of the roads I drive on.  However, in our area they have been dumping tons of salt when it was obvious that either there was going to be no snow or the precip was going to be liquid not frozen.  I have to wonder where some of the cities and towns are getting their forecasts as they are wasting money and resources.

    I thought it was just my neighborhood. So much damn salt everywhere

    Seems to be everywhere I go.  Commuter rail platforms have been ridiculous at times.  Also on a lot of roads and highways you can't even see the white lines because of the salt residue.

    Nice rainer.  Will wash away the pointless salt they've been dropping on the roads.

    Never seen so much salt for so little snow and ice.  For the first time ever, our garage floor is white from all of the salt water tracked in.

    For those of us spring enthusiasts ... the first sign of the change:   the sun has risen at Utqiaġvik!

    Sun rise at the most northern U.S. town is more than merely symbolic .. it's a physical circumstance of the Earth's tilt in relation to the sun slowly and inexorably reversing.  Moving forward, the brief showing will lengthen in duration and ascent above the horizon, while down here in middle latitudes, the next step will be passing out of the perennial solar minimum ... occurring ~ February 10 every year.  

    Obviously ... these distinctions in real time and a given season's climate don't always see eye to eye.  Regardless of whether they disagree or not, however, July is still inevitably coming... so one side of that argument is definitely, eventually, going to lose.  Just a matter of time... 

    Damn sun angle!  There goes our chances of snow. :arrowhead:

    At this point....just one Major Snowstorm will be satisfying, and that will keep it from being a total Ratter.  If we don't get a Major...this will go down as a big time Ratt!!   Mother Nature showing all the big outlook calls that we don' knowt as much as we hoped.  

    Yes, come over to the dark side, you know you want to!

    Pep looked pissed off for a lot of the game.  Back to weather, my cousin in Huddersfield woke up to .5" of snow this morning.  She was bitter it melted right off.  I thought she would fit right in with the weenies here :lol:

    Huddersfield Town's Premier League season has been on a par with SNE's snow season.  Both worthy of relegation!:axe:

    Off topic again but were you a fan of last night's Newcastle/Man City fixture?  I was :P

    Ugh!  Horrible match.  Seemed like after they scored in 24 seconds, they just assumed they would win.  Played really poorly.  I'm worried that David Silva is reaching the end of the line - just has not looked like himself for the past two months.  Hope I'm wrong.  Heading over in March to see Man City play Watford, then Schalke in the Champions League.  Hoping we don't finally see a snowstorm on March 7th!  Go Leicester City!!! :lol:

    Used to bowl on the candelpin tour til my back said no more, miss it.

    Looks like the rain/snow line just got to my town before retreating cutting totals in my area.

    Nice.  I used to love watching candlepin bowling with Don Gillis every Saturday.  Some great bowlers.

    That's awesome, Never tried duckpin but did candlepin for a couple seasons.

    I bowled duckpins and candlepins for a few seasons and that went well since the delivery is pretty much the same.  Only bowled tenpins a few times in my life, and I was absolutely horrible.  Just couldn't adapt.  Just to get things back on a weather track . . . drove back from bowling up route 24 last night in 34 degree rain.  50 minute drive each way for my Tuesday night league, so I'm not a fan of Tuesday weather events!

  12. 00.00 in Randolph, but a nice 5 degree temp drop in about an hour to make the commute to the train a blast.  There always has to be one idiot on the roads - had one guy less than 10 feet behind me on icy roads; we get to an intersection with a left turn lane and he goes around me but continues going straight only to catch up to a line of about 10 cars ahead of him going just as slow as I was . . . hopefully he only hurts himself someday and no one else.
