  1. Dave did some work at my house last year. I was very happy with his price and workmanship. Highly recommend him.
  2. I love when they play on Thanksgiving. Perfect ending to the day as long as we win. I think this will make the 3rd time. First 2 Thanksgiving games we were home and won.
  3. I always pass it on the way to Gettysburg. Such an odd location for such an establishment considering the only other attraction in littlestown is the McDonald's. Lol.
  4. And then Dallas the following Thursday. Back to back Thursday games.
  5. Early april 1990. I think it was actually April 3rd. Rain started mixing with snow late in the afternoon then flipped to all Snow. It was moderate to heavy at times. Snowed until the early morning hours. 2-3 inches total in Owings Mills. Pretty legitimate event for so late in the season and it was well forecasted.
  6. There are several new bills currently being proposed in Congress for phase 4 that would put more money directly in our hands. Since they have little chance getting through as currently devised there's no point in going into detail however any form of them would require anywhere between 2 and 6 trillion maybe even more if you can believe it. I guess a modified version could make it through. The problem this time will be the partisanship. The other phases got through will a little teeth pulling but for the most part there was bipartisanship Phase 4 will not go anything like that and will be an all out war between the 2 parties.
  7. Usually these interviews last 5 minutes or so. This one went on forever. Producers must have been in Anderson's ear to keep her going as long as possible.
  8. I watched the entire interview. It was hard to watch as the mayor kept digging herself deeper into a hole. Simply unbelievable. Just remarkable how some people get elected into office.
  9. Once again you know very well that other voices do weigh and are heavily considered and who said anything about a lock down until December or zero deaths. I never heard Fauci day anything like that.
  10. Of course his voice should carry more weight than others . Somebody's has too. There is a reason why he is the director of infectious diseases and leading authority. Most other officials except his lead anyway and are fine with him as the front man. I have not heard anybody in his field unsupportive of his lead. At this point you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. You understand darn well why his voice carry more weight.
  11. People like Fauci have no political agenda. His entire life and career is science and data based. His only objective is to save lives and protect the public. When a certain establishment hears information or facts they dont want to hear than they resort to attack methods. If you're ever unsure what to believe when watching or listening to the media all you have to do to know what the real truth is to listen to the doctors, nurses and health officials on the front line.
  12. No doubt. When the top health officials say highly contagious and Dr. Fauci says this virus is "unprecedented" that is all you need to know. Those were his exact words. There is no way to spin Fauci's words which in any logical human being should end the debate.
  13. Of course it would. Over 20k has come in just the last week.
  14. Well said. I have to bite my tongue not to get involved in the conversation. I just cant believe what I'm reading and how some people have absolutely no empathy and compassion for others. There's just no way to keep politics out of this and that's why I've refrained from responding to some of these absurd posts.
  15. I'm pretty sure there was also a very late season snowfall in April 1993. I'm usually good at remembering details but for some reason that one is vague. I think it was after the 10th and maybe closer to the 20th. I was attending Western Maryland College at the time and recall it snowing quite heavily at times until noon. The most on the ground at any time was maybe 2 inches.
  16. Great example bringing up the Feb. 2006 storm. Tremendous deform band. This storm demonstrates how getting into the CCB band can be a serious game changer and produce big time totals. I got 16 in Reisterstown. There were a few other spotters close by that measured 18. I believe Randallstown got 20 and like you said Columbia was 20-22. The storm was really slow to get going. When the first flakes started to fall most areas where well above freezing. Snow was rather light for most of the afternoon and didnt really start accumulating nicely until early evening. Even then rates never really got any better than moderate. Local mets didnt pick up on the deform potential and during the 11 o'clock news they pretty much thought the storm would wind down by 2 or 3 a.m. with maybe a couple more inches to come. I remember being exhausted and fell a sleep around 12:30 a.m. We had around 6 maybe 7 on the ground at that time. I woke up roughly 3 hours later. When I looked out the window I was shocked. S++. Easily 2-3 inches per hour. 10-12 inches fell in the area in just a 4-5 hour period. The deform band took this otherwise run of the mill decent type snowstorm and made it truly awesome. Had it been colder following the storm we would all remember it more fondly. On the other side of the spectrum you have several storms where the deform band underachieved and kept what could've been great storms rather pedestrian. The 2 late Feb. storms in 2005 come to mind. Classic Miller A's that both should've been 6-12 areawide ended up under producing only barely hitting low end warning criteria in most spots.
  17. GFS is a tiny bit more chilly than the Euro for next weeks temps. Lol.
  18. The cards are lining up for what will most likely be a typical winter for our region. It will snow, just not nearly as much as we want most likely. Stop acting like we live in Watertown NY.
  19. The airmass in front is reason to pause the argument the first storm in a pattern change never works out. If we trying to get the cold to catch up to the precip that often fails especially in the southern part of our region. That is not the case with next weekends system. of course things may look different but as of now it's a decent if not really good look at some frozen accumulation.
  20. The early March storm that year really crushed parts of PA.
  21. That's an amazing run. The total snowfall for the season is pretty much what I thought. Thanks. I love looking at historical records like this.
  22. Yup. I remember being up in York PA that January and there was 10-12 inches on the ground while I had about 3-4 in Reisterstown and about 6-7 in my current location.
  23. There was a lot of ice even up here although I lived in reisterstown then. I think I was around 30. Probably broke 40 up here. The snow line ran more north/south with a lot of systems that year if memory serves. Being west helped some but not as much as usual unless you were more northwest.
