With all the model waffling, this was a tough one. Kudos to the pros that held their ground! Watched Lee Goldberg on ch. 7 news at 11pm last night. He never backed down. -

I understand getting blindsided like that, but the problem is that after a while, it becomes like the "boy who cried wolf".

YeH, I go back to the 60s, memorywise. I grew up in Maryland, and yeah the same there. When we moved to NJ in the early 70s, it was Bob Harris, Frank Field an Tex Antoine. Bob was real good IMHO.

I remember with most of the winters during the 80s & 90s, the way I survived (emotionally) was I'd hope for one decent snowstorm and just get on with life. Keeping expectations low kept me sane.
