Cold Miser

Awsesome...Lets make this a stale place where mets just talk science all day, and refrain from lively conversation. ...Might as well cancel all of the non-mets from the forum.

I am glad that I am going to experience that 68F...Now, I won't have to go chasing heat. Praying for a bust, and we get to 70F

...More conversations from the gym... Today, a guy was telling me how warm it is going to be today, and tomorrow, followed by, "I can't imagine how hot it is going to be the summer", and, additional global warming talk. I told him, "I don't think it works that way", then went back to minding my own business (tying my shoe, and pretending to be on my phone). He caught the next guy's ear and said, "Just think, if we go up another 10 degrees each month we will be at 110 degrees for July, and more for August". The other guy said, "Well, it might get cold again in a few weeks". The first guy responds, "Well, that's just my math, and I will change it if I need to, but right now, the summer looks to be really hot"

lol. Where's the rest of it after hour 240? You know, the part that shows the heavy rains for SNE?

Congrats to SNE on continued winter futility. I may take a drive over to New Bedford so that I can bask in 61F.

This is the future, and the future is now.

These are awesome. I am a huge fan of all kinds of maps, and I would definitely have a place for these.

I agree. Mid January I was more upset, and in anger mode. Not now. Just laughing at this point. ...Pics of Daffodils coming in northern Virginia in the mid Atlantic thread. Soon we will have the same scene here.

Congrats. Drink it in, and enjoy the torch.

Hyperbole on ice fishing...Most lakes froze up or mostly froze during a 2 day deep freeze but the layer of ice was only thick enough for ducks to walk on it.

...I didn't think phone books were still a thing. This thing is about as thick as a lead pencil.

As long as I get one good panel.

That panel literally ensures futility for my area.

Ha. This was my hood back in my early days of living in Columbia County NY. Go back about 3 miles, and my house was on the right, only about 50 feet from the highway, not too far from the NYS, Berkshire Spur Toll booth which has since been taken down. I would go to sleep to the sound of I-90.

Mud season started around Christmas time.

I might have mentioned this before but growing up in the Albany area I had someone in my family who I remember as "Cousin Marsha" (I don't recall the relationship, but she was on my father's side of the family) who lived to be over 100 years old (maybe 106?). When I was 9 or 10 (79, 80) she was over 100 years old and she would tell stories of the great storm of '88. I think she was 10 or 11 years old during that storm. She had some awesome photos of Albany. For years I had been trying to find that photo album with no luck.

...Just when I thought I was out, winter comes back with a vengeance. Stay safe.

I pray for this to verify.

looks like route 2 coming into Norwich?

Ratter = shameful excuse for winter. No one argues it, but I suppose the interpretation is different to the individual. In my hood it means, I don't think it can get any worse. I just hope I never experience this again.

Porked, even for trying to reach futility. That would be a first.

This past weekend's cold shot solidified this claim. Global warming is dead.

I would do that, just not at a festival with 1000's of people. Too old for that shit.

Yup. Pretty much. Tuned up snow blower looking for something to chew up...might as well be me, while enjoying that wiener in the balmy February sun. I will be putting her back in the shed pretty soon. Usually I wait until the beginning of April. Not this god forsaken year.

I doubt there will be that one shot late Feb/ early March bomb for SNE that some have mentioned as a possibility. This will go down in history as the WORST winter in my lifetime. Hands down. This includes any of the winters growing up in the following locations; Troy, NY Lake George, NY Columbia County, NY Williamstown, MA, Bristol, RI Washington DC Boston, MA Windham county, CT The absolute, fucking W.O.R.S.T. winter. These season is definitely humbling.
