  1. Flu is always mutating. Novel coranavirus is just that, novel.
  2. Heck I've seen a local groundhog out and about already. And looking fat and sassy too...
  3. Yeah I think we just gotta tough this one out, enjoy it for what it is. Even if we get a few more low snow winters, they aren't likely to be this warm, IMHO. We still had the few 2-4 events in the 80's, with the occasional blockbuster. This is going down as a serious clunker at this rate, but maybe March will pull us out again.
  4. They should be ok. There are likely many more people infected that have been able to fight the virus off. Too early to say how bad it is yet. Keep in mind that regular flu has killed 10k already in the US alone this season. That's a much bigger threat.
  5. Ok, so post what should be acceptable in banter and be done with it.
  6. Post of the evening....and that was before he got the hair piece....
  7. Not for me it isn't. I taught it for ten years. I just disagree with BX. Banter should be for anything, but now it can't be for climate change because "one of those people" might start up with their nonsense? I'd say those views belong in banter, not a serious discussion thread. But it ain't my board, and in truth I do try to avoid being baited into a debate, so "whatever." And that's all I have to say on it. On to the boring weather.....
  8. Indeed. I don't just live with them, i've worked with them for 31 years. Facts. ( as the kids like to say )
  9. I do think we are getting due for something better next year, as we have several years now with not much to write home about. Some areas in this subforum had some decent events, not so much mine...but it could just as well suck again next year too.
  10. Justin isn't one of those people though. He is an actual scientist, whose research is tied into climate change , and hardly anyone goes to the climate thread. I assumed banter was ok for anything. But whatever.
  11. I don't think NYC will get a big snowstorm this winter.
  12. Well now ya know.....let's be honest, without some snow winter is pretty boring. Cold, wet, chilly, grey ( well my grass is still green and my garden herbs still growing )and muddy. Yuck.
  13. You could not pay me to live in Utah. I'd give up snow for life first, wouldn't give it a second thought. I gotta have a large body of water nearby, with big fish in it, preferably an ocean but one of the Great Lakes will do ( Salt Lake doesn't have fish ).
  14. I hate to tell you this but it can go on like this for several winters in a row...it frequently did in the past....even if it gets darn cold.
  15. Would love to see a list of the 70's and 80's.....Unc?
  16. Why would anyone waste time on Steve DeMartino? Did he give up his day job in retail?
  17. Think I'm going to lay low for awhile. There's nothing going on and nothing on the horizon of any significance; the story is the AN temps and lack of snow, and the severe flu season. Flu seems to be enjoying the mild winter....
  18. I wonder if it will just continue with the chilly dull blah punctuated by drenching rain. At this point a torch would be a change of pace.
  19. Indeed. But I enjoy a good snowstorm as much as anyone. But this year I'm not missing it. Maybe I've seen too many.
  20. Gut instincts are mostly worthless and "positive" is relative, in that positive for the vast majority of folks is that this never turns into anything frozen or just doesn't happen. I feel like this is an alternative universe here. My gut tells me this ain't our winter, and this storm won't be any different. But that isn't worth much....
  21. Great photos too; the section on near misses is most fascinating; one shows an ice storm the likes of which most have been nothing short of epic ( a miss, I guess, because it wasn't snow ) and the images of people trying to scale icebergs in Manhattan after the 93 superstorm, where ten inches of snow, sleet and freezing rain crippled the area....
