They should’ve never gone past 4. But I get that they want the ratings. 

And the championship game should be today. The season is way too long.

I don’t mind them but I wish they would compact them and use more of December.

Notre Dame, BYU, and Texas didn’t deserve it either. The bottom of the rankings weren’t great. Just go to 16 and call it a day. 
 

-2.0/-7 WC -16

Bama at least lost to decent teams and had good wins. JMU and Tulane being in it is a joke. 

 

[Torch Tiger]

at least we have football.

Well on our way to another season in the 30’s for snow in SNE . How many in a row will this be? Expected but still sucks 

? So much doom and gloom on here. Weren't you Mr. Positive recently? Don't let the naysayers get to you. It takes ONE storm..... Just one! If we get to mid to late February and it is still like it is now, then ok. I'll jump from the cliff with ya.

With the warmup ensuing after the first week and little qpf in the offing, it's starting to look to me like January may be a lost cause.  The upcoming pattern doesn't appear very favorable.  These little quick shots aren't going to do it.

Hmmm, I didn’t realize January was over on the first day of the month.  Good to know. I guess we’re on to February on 1/1.

First half is a lost cause, which isn't news to me, but it sucks that most squandered December (I know it was great for CT...I get it).

Today was nice with the squalls. However, moving forward, powderfreak can have the 2-3” events, they are just a nuisance at this point. Sick of the salt

Not sure it was “great” anywhere. Maybe near CT south shore they best snowfall climo by a decent amount due to 12/26-27. But pretty much everywhere else was normal to BN on snowfall despite the cold temps. But I’ll give December a little bump up in grade because the little snow we got stayed on the ground much of the month and we snuck in a white Xmas too. So it was a nice holiday feel. But all that is now mostly useless to me after new years so we better start getting some meatier storms. 

I was just preemptively covering myself.

I wouldn’t call a season total  13.3” great . And actually it was a little over 10” as most fell after midnight last night . SW CT and WOR had a snowy month 

I just didn't want lure Wolfie into reiterating how enjoyable it was for him.

Writing is on the wall. Hopefully we can get a couple nickel and dime events in February.

Squalls went south of me....glad. I ignored the 1/4" on the blog and in real life . Didn't touch the drive way.

Yeah, we go lucky. It wasn’t even modeled like that.

my point basically is, I’m tired of shoveling, driving through mounds of road slat, having to salt my driveway, tracking it all over the house etc, when I can still see blades of grass through the snow.

Its enjoyable on Nov 15, not Jan

Meanwhile, beer freezing cold by the fire pit tonight.

12 is so much better than 2 or 4. Now there are a lot more programs that are in the game, and one bad game doesn’t necessarily destroy a season. People are always going to argue on the fringes but I’d much rather have an undeserving #12 kick out 13 over an undeserving #4 kicking out 5.

The season is a little long though. With bowl games mattering less than ever, might as well play the playoffs in December and wrap up very early in January with the title game. January 19th is ridiculous.

 

-4.3/-8.5

Man cold out here.

Can't tell you how many national championship games I haven't watched because of this. Not to mention start times.

So not writing off a whole month on the very first day of the month,  is all sunshine and lollipops now?   Ya, I don’t think so Ken.  I love how people conflate things and turn them into something else completely.   Appreciate it pal.
