After years of waffling I'm finally going to go up and see some November snow in Canaan Monday/Tuesday. Borrowing the sisters Bronco and doing some boozing/hiking with my Fiancé around the valley. Additionally, I got a season pass to Timberline for the first time so will be good to practice the drive once before go-time.

Exactly.

Im at MSP getting ready to fly home. Way too many Ravens fans arriving here. Be a real shame if there are flight delays/cancelations Sunday and Monday

The Ravens weren't very good that season and missed the playoffs, but that game was wild in the snow.

I don’t think a game has ever gone from relatively boring to batshit insane quite like that one.

Is it necessary to reference a place of suffering like Sheppard Pratt, even in jest? 

That does not seem appropriate.
Will this be deleted? No apologies in advance.

Same! Greatest game I’ve ever been to. I might still be recovering

Yes it was (and to have that on a snow fat was even better!) That was absolutely insane--remember when we all thought Marlon Brown was gonna be a breakout after that? Lol But that was the craziest 2 mins of all time! And the memory is even sweeter knowing that snow kicked off an epic wall-to-wall winter

I was at that Ravens snow game too and have never seen anything else like it. I'm a lifelong Ravens and Baltimore Colts and Orioles fan and have been lurking on here for a very long time. I live in Caroline County just south of Denton and I'm about 10 miles south of CAPE's location. I'm unlurking now because I wanted to ask a question about earthquakes. I worked at Caroline Country Club back in 2011 when the magnitude 5.8 one hit and we felt it big time there. I believe that I may have felt a small tremor here last Saturday night around 8:00 PM, right before game 7 of the World Series started (speaking of crazy sports events). The sounds that my house made and the duration of the "event" reminded me of the 2011 one, but on a very small scale. I didn't have my TV sound on and it was very quiet, otherwise I may not have noticed it. I immediately opened the door and there was no traffic anywhere near me and totally silent outside. My question is, is there any way to check to see if a tremor happened here then or anywhere else for that matter? I checked the USGS site and nothing was listed. Do any government agencies monitor tremors everywhere at all times or do any local hobbyists in this area have equipment to do so? Sorry about the long winded first post and thanks to everyone for the great information that American Weather provides.

I don't think that you are going to find anything more authoritative than the USGS.  I went to the search page and lowered the threshold to an effectively imperceptible 1.5 magnitude, and the only one that shows up in the last month is the 2.5 on 10/27 near Columbia, MD.  https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/search/

Welcome!

Dude, can you please give it a rest and stick to what you’re good at. This is a weather board, there are a million political boards. I think you need snow BAD, you have become mighty grumpy. 

Two things I find illuminating. You think snow even registers at all here. As if I would ever be like “well my country thinks it’s ok to say the most blatant disgusting xenophobic Islamophobic and homophobic filth but it’s snowing so it’s all cool”.  And over the years when I’ve seen a blatantly conservative political point made in here I’ve never seen you say jack shit. Back when those jingoistic anti Canada posts were made they sat in here for days and you said nothing. All the times Howard goes on his anti government conspiracy rants it’s crickets from you. The climate denial posts which are also “banned speech” sneak in constantly anytime our diminishing snowfall comes up and nothing from you. Ever. Not once. But anytime someone attacks MAGA for their blatant bigotry you have a problem.
