Break in the line. A lot to like there.

That one is pretty widely referred to the worst in memory for the time, and then 1998 the worst "since 1921".

Curled up under the blankets with some Tree House reading old Monthly Weather Reviews.

Nothing worse than wet knickers.

Yep, governed by federal laws not state.

Sure I'll be dead calm while you play naked Twister on the picnic tables.

As the Men in Blazers always put it, the sky is so much closer to the ground in the north (of England but the same applies).

We have been arguing to shrink the size of the severe drought each update, but so far we've only been able to trim on the margins.

Indeed. Though there isn't much severe about the conditions in my backyard.

Late bloomers FTW up here.

I remember being in the wrong places at the right times that winter. Missed Christmas 2002 storm while I was raining at home, and then again with the Jan 3-4 storm after I had come back to RI from skiing.

I definitely had some clunkers growing up in Barrington, but the 32" at Lowell in 2006-2007 was one of my worst.

I did okay for my four years, 100", 73", 79", and 43". And the 43" year was kind of a blur anyway.

From what I've read it's the support cells (not the ones actually responsible for smell) that are susceptible to COVID infection. Inflammation of these cells leads to the loss of smell. Also interesting is that it appears to be the most common and first reported symptom in the majority of cases, so probably a better screener than fever or cough.

Your last/my first year on the hill delivered though. That's still the only 100" season at any placed I've lived.

I think the diabolically sneaky part is that the first landing area is actually angled short left to long right, so you better not have a hook.

Exactly. You have to carry 250 just to reach the second fairway. And then the dogleg is so severe that there really isn't a benefit to try and skip the first lay up.

Every house on the street with kids has lights on the house and light up forest animals in the yard. And pumpkins still on the steps.

Big Scooter snow forecasts coming after Christmas.

Who hasn't been there. Water, drop, water, drop, bunker, water, drop, green, two putt. In my defense my home course has a par 5 that requires you to lay up twice before approaching the green. So 2-3 water balls isn't that strange.

Threw mine up when it was 70 degrees. I'm not one to go from Halloween to Christmas, but we did this year.

The thing 10/7 had going for it that this one doesn't is the thermodynamic environment. 10/7 featured some pretty decent low level lapse rates and mid level lapse rates around 7C/km. The timing here doesn't work out for low level lapse rates to be significantly steep, and mid level is pretty meh. Enough for thunder possibly but not robust convection.

That's where I'm at. Cape/Islands has some potential to go higher, but the LLJ cranks too late for most (even up here). Visions of derechos dance in your head.

My father in law started my wife investing in her teens, just putting a little away every month. Despite my salary advantage her 10 year head start probably has our accounts even at this point.

Undergrad was definitely my loan load, I had a similar arrangement with my MS. I don't think I was clearing 20k in stipend, but didn't pay a dime for classes otherwise (unless you want to count about $800 for a semester to extend my eligibility while writing my thesis). I lived in a cheap studio in Lowell near the Chelmsford line, and my sole goal was getting into the NWS. Even still I was lucky to have the job but no equity, but my wife was lucky to own her condo. So between the two of us we could flip that into a house. My biggest mistake was probably deferring my loans while I was in grad school. I probably should've found a way to pay the principal down. Only cost me a couple additional years of payments, but man it feels good to have that anchor gone.
