  1. No you will jinx yourself. Wait til it snows then wrestle with it and try to get it working. And then it probably won't work....
  2. Hit the magic number in Dec myself. hard to believe. Most folks are shocked at how old they actually look ( Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise have photo shop, and private trainers, surgeons and chefs to help them look good at 60 )according to research, and only get it when they see their former classmates and such; its reminds me of the classic scene in Papillion when Steve McQueen pokes his head out of the opening after being in solitary for months, and says how do I look? Yeah, you like fine pal....
  3. Son is at the Bronx zoo and saw flakes, daughter is at a pet expo in PA near Harris and it's snowing there. Nothing here; sun peeking out. Pretty typical even in big events to get somewhat shafted over here.
  4. Holy crap...I forgot all about these topics.
  5. That was all sleet. Nothing to write home about. But even that winter was better than this one. It's not even been cold enough to sleet much. Saw something about ESE winds. That's rain.
  6. I check in here every morning for curiosity but really, this winter is a dud and nothing will change it. I fully expect this to be much ado about nothing . Worst winter ever for winter weather fans in this region. FWIW, I read an article that MN is having warmer temps and more snow, as are the Sierra Nevadas. Experts said this may actually be a bad sign and that even they are getting close to a tipping point; we may have reached ours, and perhaps our snowy winters in the 2000's were due to something similar. Unlike some ( not here of course ) others, I frankly admit I don't get the science and rely on more knowledgeable folks to opine, but this is something I read and it was not in some rag and the experts quoted seemed to be serious people.
  7. We're not going to have to worry about civilization if the planet keeps burning up. A bug flew up my nose as I was exiting my car just now......it's the middle of Feb....
  8. He's a full on crackpot at this point.
  9. We're done here. Neighbors lilies are budded and ready to bloom. I've seen stuff like this in the 90's, but never with the buds on them already. Spring is here. I was just outside changing soil in various flower and veggie pots. Full of active worms, pillbugs, other creepy crawlers.
  10. Granted. But as I've pointed out in the past, meteorology is not a licensed field, so in fact anyone can say they are a weather forecaster, and some over the years have been good at it.
  11. Yes, we do let people without medical degrees make diagnoses, and have done so for a long time. NPs, PAs, and even MSW's can make diagnoses. An MSW, LPC, PsyD, LMFT, can make psychiatric diagnoses, and file an insurance claim. Oral surgeons and dentists can diagnoses oral diseases as well. Optometrists can diagnose eye diseases. Chiropractors make diagnoses, but then we really are talking pseudoscience......
  12. It isn't going to snow in any significant way this year is it? Maybe we can get a few slushy wet inches in March. It would be something. Happened in 92. Long time ago. 2019 had two late ones that evaporated as well.
  13. It was called the Snowicaine, and it wasn't 20 inches in the immediate NYC area; more like a foot. Some areas got the higher amounts but not CNJ. We had between 8-13 around Middlesex County; Woodbridge reported 8, Edison reports were of 13. It was decent but overall the whole winter was disappointing for us compared to the Mid Atlantic, but it was absolutely a great winter by this years standards....it was said that the NJ suburbs of NYC were " too far north for 2/6 and too far south for 2/26..." we made up for it the next year though. I think those big winters might just be over for us, but who knows. Certainly DC has had nothing like it since.
  14. A number of homeless walking in the mall this morning. Good thing this one is open at 5 am. Couple of local gyms inside so they open the doors. Allows me to get in a walk in bad weather. Man, it was frigid. My sinuses stung.
