She is a Japanese girl who battles the pink robots of course. Creation of The Flaming Lips a wonderfully entertaining band from OKC.

Yes, as if anything has been lost in an event that may or may not come to fruition at some point in the future.

Agree.  Fact is, potential is there not just for next weekend but some period beyond that as well.  It doesn't appear to be wall to wall shit the blinds.  (Oh no, I posted medium range discussion in the Banter thread rather than banter in the Medium Range thread!!! LOL!! )

Ignore that thread unless there are lols to read. The ups and downs are too much every day 

[RevWarReenactor]

I actually wish this snowpack would melt at this point. Its dirty and disgusting looking. Basically a block of ice.

Reiterating my position from a month ago that having two long range threads is a miserable idea that will only serve to cause conflict and suck the life out of this board

Regardless of what happens w the rest of the winter it’s been memorable w the extended cold and snowpack

And wind, can't forget (is that possible?) the number of days we've gusted 30, 40, 50 mph this winter.

Wasted cold though. No refresher snow the whole time we have had the glacier, with only a couple days a few degrees above freezing.

True but at least it’s felt like winter rather than watching daffodils grow in January. The January storm is one that won’t be forgotten for a while.

Why are we ragging on a guy for failing to post an image properly? Not like he tried to give awful storm analysis

There is now another winter thread you can post in that is free of pettiness and drama.

Ji is getting nervous he might lose a bunch of paid subscribers if it doesn't snow.
