Hoth

Regardless of how this presidential race turns out, this election looks like a move towards to the political center. With Democrats losing some ground in the House and gaining a bit in the Senate, it's clear the American people have rejected much of the extreme rhetoric of both the right and left. If Joe wins, you'll have a fairly moderate and traditional politician without the congressional support to do anything too polarizing. He will have to govern from the center to get anything done. Hopefully this can be something of a reset from the last two decades of hard swings back and forth between the more radical left and right elements of society. Perhaps the spirit of accommodation will once again creep into government, as the Founders intended. I won't hold my breath, but just maybe we can reset to a more 90s style of governance.

No hyperbole there lol

Ironically, by suggesting mail in ballots were problematic, he probably exacerbated the skew in the ratio even more. He told his base they were unreliable, so they overwhelmingly voted in person. You see that in the PA results. Big Republican lead on election day, but 78% of mail in ballots are going to Biden so far and the gap continues to close.

Must be killing Josh M. not being able to chase these beasts recently.

Holy shite Eta is a fooking monster. Hadn't looked at it since last night. Jeezus!

There's my silver lining.

Ditto. Still in my rotation.

Hazey blown into Boston Harbor.

That's the nuttiest model output I've seen at our latitude. That's James' Dawn Awakening 2020 right there lol

Britain going back into lockdown, too. I think he was referring to remarks President Trump made at a rally last February, in which he called the virus the Democrats' "new hoax" after the impeachment proceedings. I don't think he meant it literally, but I'm not going to defend his management of this pandemic either. Anyway, I'm sick of politics (Orh feel free to delete), so let's talk snow. Loved your pictures this morning, Steve. Bet the pups were having a ball.

I really hope it wasn't for us

Wow, kudos to you inland folks. That's pretty much a HECS for this time of year.

Amazing what a difference a few miles made this morning. I had a solid half inch of accretion on everything. I drove into New Haven and literally a mile south of me you wouldn't have known it had snowed at all.

This is pretty sweet. Ground whitening up and solidly moderate snow whirling around on the occasional gust.

That's what she said?

Nice fluffy flakes now. It's kind of jarring against a backdrop of green maples in my yard. (They always turn late)

Welcome back, old friend. I've missed you.

Flipping here now. Occasional bursts of snow amid the drizzle.

Interesting that you're raining while Ginx is snow. Cold funneling down from Maine over there?

All rain in the valley. Had a ping or two when I got up. It's gross out.

We pour. We ping here and there.

We who are about to suck exhaust salute you!

Always a highlight of my weather-watching year. Thanks for all the hard work you put into it, Ray.
