  1. There was a pretty substantial period when Britain was all alone. France was occupied and the U.S. had not entered the war.
  2. I hope they give them hell, even if they are facing a superior force.
  3. Would you have advocated the same of Churchill when the Germans were sitting across the English Channel?
  4. I don't disagree. I hope it doesn't come to that. I don't much care for the idea of being drafted. Knees are getting a little creaky in my late 30s.
  5. I seem to recall that we drove them into those caves. No military is made for endless occupation and ceaseless insurgent guerilla warfare. When we've sent our boys in en masse, we generally are quite effective at taking territory.
  6. That was truly disgusting. Absolutely unforgivable.
  7. Strange echoes of the thirties. We had our near miss with a depression in '08, followed by a decade of growing civil discord all over the world. Now, possibly, a major war. Let's hope not.
  8. Ballistic missiles are striking control centers in Kyiv.
  9. IMO, this is where you need leaders with real backbone. Putin senses weakness in the West. They've been appeasing and appealing to diplomacy and instituting weak sanctions. Guys like Putin only respect force.
  10. Maybe, but if France and Germany are involved, it rapidly becomes a NATO issue.
  11. China is watching how this unfolds to see whether we'll do anything about Taiwan. The world order is going to be tested.
  12. Looks like that Russian son of a bitch is going into Ukraine tonight in earnest. This could get out of hand quickly.
  13. Yeah, been busting my hump at work. Haven't had much time to check in. 4-8" would be great and get me solidly above climo for the season.
  14. Wait, wtf? Am I in the game? I figured this was a sleet to rainer down here.
  15. I agree. That was an amazing ten minutes. Lowest visibility I’ve ever seen from snow.
  16. Dude, this is insane. It came in so fast. It's like that fog in Game of Throne when the White Walkers are approaching. Unreal.
  17. Holy shit. This is the highlight of my winter. Heaviest snow I’ve ever seen. Just instant wall.
  18. My bro is driving up to Tupper Lake and said it was real white-knuckle conditions in the Saratoga area. Lots of cars off the road.
  19. Looks like an empty blew out my recycling bin and landed ten feet away. We'll wait for the survey team, but I'm thinking solid EF2 right?
  20. I don't think I've ever seen you post something optimistic. Weenie this comment if you're writing this under duress.
  21. Possible, but I doubt anybody alive in the Boston area will see 90" in three weeks again. The return rate for something like that has to be astronomical.
  22. Different winter in Steve's neighborhood.
  23. If I remember right, the Coast Guard had to bring in ice breakers to make a path for the ferry from Hingham at one point.
