  1. Well I'm going to go chill and watch some tv for awhile. Maybe the rates will pick up but for now, we did better in the Dec event. Kinda surprised but what can you do. At least it has a wintry feel out there. I spent so much of the past 15 years raising kids there's a lot of tv to catch up on. Been watching Elementary. Plots aren't great but the acting is top notch. Will check back later but on my phone is the dreaded tapatalk popup, and I'm too lazy to log in and out.
  2. In the famous WC qualifier in CO in 2012, they shoveled the field ( which was a football field IIRC ) off during half time and switched to an orange soccer ball; the US beat Costa Rica who later protested they shouldn't have had to play in the snow. But they were offered a chance to stop the game and because they were only down by 1 goal, they thought they could get one back and tie or win. They got pissy when they went on to lose.
  3. That swath of I95 just isn't performing right now though. Now some people said 7 pm here so we'll see. These kinds of events were typical of my childhood. Always was more north and west. I didn't care as long as I got the day off, which in Catholic schools didn't take much. We'd be closed and I'd watch the poor public schoolers trudging off in boots to a delayed opening. i didn't know yet they were having more fun in school.....
  4. I'll be pleasantly surprised to see 4. NW has already got that. It's cold enough here, we just aren't getting banding. Not sure if it is getting here or not. In a way I'm glad as my wife is at the hospital visiting her sister who had a stroke. It's been tough.
  5. Nothing like a walk in the snow with the mutt. I always remember Mark Twain; if you take in a stray dog and it prospers, it will remain loyal. This is the chief difference between dogs and people.......
  6. We dads tend to worry even if our "kids" are young adults. But the pandemic kept her cohort from learning to drive early and she was a bit delayed, so never got that comfortable and is still shakey.
  7. My daughter is an inexperienced driver and I'm tryin to convince her not to drive to Manalapan because its going to get worse. Any break will make a liar out of me....I told. her tomorrow would be better it won't be snowing and the roads will be plowed and salted. I'm getting the side eye....
  8. But it is still kinda lame after all the hype. Really, 2-4 is kind of a nothingburger. It'll look nice for a bit at least. Hope it's at least a but better than that. To me, anything under 5 is just a nuisance event. Can't hide my disappointment. But it's better than nothing. Some years we don't even see that.
  9. And they could always be right. It's how it goes. Last year we overperformed for a change in our area. We'll see. I'm salted to my wit's end out here....Menlo mall is a sheen of blue tinted road salt, which is all over my shoes....
