Very thankful and looking forward to where He takes me this decade . And I don't mind the weather too much today because I consider the snow last week that came on Beethoven's 250th as an early birthday present above...that was an awesome day too! Awesome! Time to blast some number nine when the squalls come through! Although I'm def a fan of Ludwid, I must say nothing quite sets the stage for expecting a fortissimo of wind blast like Mussorgrsky's Bydlo from Pictures at An Exhibition!

psuhoffman Posted December 24, 2020 ‘‘Twas the night before Christmas and all across the net, Ji was trolling cause the latest GFS was nothing but wet. Meanwhile the snow weenies readied for bed, hoping soon their winter dreams would be fed. Pictures of h5 plots with lots of high latitude red, played all night like a fantasy in their head. They told Ji to relax as he went full tilt to the max. That even though the operational was wetter, don’t worry the ensembles will look better. But Stormtracker knew our climo wasn’t a good bet, so he thought it over and decided to jet. But he’ll be back soon and we’ll all be together, to celebrate the blocking and our snowy January weather. The strat warm is coming and it will do the trick, by mid January flakes will be falling and things should get epic. So I say to you my friends as we wait for the pattern to get right, Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight. 15 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I'm going with one of those next (almost went with 2019 FW Parabola, but I only have one) Pants optional Christmas Eve here in my household. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you (I think ) Haha Well, as far as the biological, physical peak is concerned speaking, that ain't completely wrong!! (Look at how soon after 30 we start callin' pro athletes "aging").

Indeed! Give thanks for each day, and when ya hit a new birthday, give even more thanks! (because there's probably plenty of stuff in between that coulda done you in but didn't, lol) And yes...snow days? All the better!

40westwx Posted December 25, 2020 I just want to leave you all with this very special song.. one that reminds us all just how lucky we are. Merry Christmas everyone! There's a world outside your window And it's a world of dread and fear Where the only water flowing Is the bitter sting of tears And the Christmas bells that ring There are the clanging chimes of doom Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time The greatest gift they'll get this year is life Where nothing ever grows No rain nor rivers flow Do they know it's Christmas time at all? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
