    Buckle up

    Patience grasshoppers

    Poor Scooter from Weymouth would weep,
    For the snow in his yard wouldn’t keep,
    With a thaw so unkind,
    Winter’s charm left behind,
    He’d sob as the slush piled up

    It keeps the threats going over the next two weeks.  The NNE to SNE gradient has been impressive this winter, we’ll see what happens.

    07/08  but 0 confidence in any computer run LR but lots of  confidence in another Arctic surge with winds. March 3rd totally consistent on all models

    My old girl is 15 and arthritic so doesn't like going out when it's cold and she has to walk on ice. She tried walking up an incline yesterday, slipped and slid all the way back down on her back, I think she liked it :lol:

    One of our dogs got hurt today. Tried running and slipped hopefully just a pulled muscle

    I'm going to have a couple shovelfulls once things soften up. The turds melt the ice then get frozen in within a minute, so I'd have to chop them out.

    I was out chopping today.  All done. My dogs hate the ice and really spend little time outside. This week once we thaw wll be much better

    It's a tough one for me.   I enjoy the gloam light ( Scottish expression...) of summer evenings that lingers on, dying so slowly that energy feels eternal.   Hours I do not wish to be cut short by human convention that satisfies one group in lieu of another.   The sun will set at 7:15 instead of 8:15 ( or so...) if the decision is to got that way. Such that at the apex of summer, means it's setting of 6:55 ( or so...) as the bulk summer average. 

    6:55 ?   it's like permanently April.  A month I hate.  F that. 

    On the other hand, I see it as a problem for those that have no choice but to spend a couple or hours or 3 prior to sun up in the winter... What with kids and/or long commuting, and/or just not having the luxury of a salaried sort of look the other way flexibility of mid or upper echelons occupations...  That's really a large huge demographic.   I work from home in a mid level occupation.  I log in, for the advantages of an internet, no car and traffic.  I also (sadly) don't have any children.  These circumstances mean I do not have to deal with that which would add stress - such as doing life in the middle of the f'ing night.   Point being, I get it going the other way for society.   

    I think though, as technology continues to evolve, and proves ever more transformative to the way society functions, some of the factorization of darkness in the morning may get alleviated.  It's not hard to imagine a future where most schooling is done from home period.  It may take decades for that ... "technically" we are already species capable of doing that, but cultural heritage always makes leaps of advancement seem more impossible than they really are... etc.  

     

     

    Zoom from home school ruined  a generation of kids psychologically no thanks

    Why would March snow piss anyone off?  2012 ain't walking through that door.  

    Lots of warminstas in here and life.  Love it when we finally get a thaw for 3 days and everyone thinks winter is over

    Yeah I like when we used to change the clocks a couple decades ago. 

    I’m sure this will be the last time though as we’ll be getting our 1000th executive order in a few weeks. 

    I am wishy washy on the whole thing, see both sides. I do like 999 of the executive orders though.

    I hope to God you don’t go there for your ice cream. If you don’t go to Richardson’s in Boscawen then you don’t really understand ice cream.

    Still nothing wrong with a large Reeses blizzard now and then

    That is one of my fav March events. Just after the 6-7" earlier in the month. 

    Rain to heavy paste. We thought that was the end of the epic winter as 50s and 60 closed out the month, then April 96 walked in the door

    I was picking up a Chipotle order that was supposed to be ready at 6:30. I always leave more time so that’s why I was thinking 6:40.   

    Even at 7 it's different. Best time of year for skiing as 4 pm it's still mega bright

    Do you believe the pattern actually goes full on spring (+EPO/+WPO/-PNA/+AO/+NAO) by the end of the 2nd week of March or is this another false alarm? It seems to have good multi ensemble support this time…..

    Ensembles only go out 15 days so March 8th. What you talking about end of 2nd week on Ensembles Willis?
