I did have a natural slice which is good for that course. Summer of '82 my father told me to take it easy and relax so I did just that, 36 holes by day and a six-pack by night... Learned to move the ball left or right and deadly within 150yrds. On round really stood out, I was on fire and shot a 58, That's -14 under the course record. A Hole-in-One on 14 and a double eagle on 8. Being a Municipal (open to the public) Course they would have a tournament or two, no money but would give out "chits" which you could cash-out for equipment in the Pro Shop. Prize winnings allotted to new clubs a shag-bag and dozens of balls, gloves, shoes and clothing.

Early 30's. Game put on hiatus because of chronic pain, pinched nerves, herniated disc. Youth is wasted on the young. I would get too frustrated, so I don't even try. Pain is so many ways.

Back in the day some 30yrs ago I was a scratch golfer. Just discharged from the USAF I had the whole summer off. Joined Braintree Municipal, golfed every day and maintained a 3 handicap. The A game is long gone, have not picked up the sticks in over 10yrs. Once was golfing a round, first nine was mediocre at best. Golfing with brothers so we stop halfway grabbed a lunch. One brother was much better than the other. "How about a little wager?" 10th tee, the brother says to me after T-shots went off. "You know you just bet the State Amateur Champ." DAMN, I shot -3 under and came down to the last hole. My shot ended up about 20ft from the cup, he had a tap-in. The rest is history. I miss golfing!

Poetic prose. Don't change your day jobs! LOL

Interesting start for a thread. Reminds me of the old newsgroup (scientific with reasoning) with fewer members. Kind of makes one want to keep it scientific with statements direct on point. I might even start analyzing synoptic set-ups and forecast again.

Don't ever forget 1888 for late season BLOCKBUSTERS. There is still a chance because of... Such an isothermal gradient ever presents in seasonal changes. It ain't over!

Back in the day when I was 19yrs old and climbed Mt. Washington in February. The most extreme conditions I have ever experienced. So bad the crew atop let me stay overnight till the conditions improved.

Time to break out the skates! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You's guys are probably in big trouble (grid wise) with the accretion of ice. Kev is getting, although not as devastating as he wanted. Maybe a taste of just a little no power might do the trick of not wanting ICE. Nice little FROPA here, rain just started winds gusting in the 30mph. range with rumbles. Oh, it's 82F here.

I'm still in the mindset of something is going to happen. Not present threat. Maybe one BIG Powerful regionwide phaser that rivals a high KU category. All the parameters are there, (not modeled well) most of this season and go out with a memorable BANG.

Makes no sense giving up on this event other than "told ya so" OR "pat-self-on-the-back" Psychologically if it makes you feel better. Go for it. Sometimes stating nothing is better than resigning and then never acknowledging- yup wrong again. IT GONNA SNOW! Stick to that...

There is no definitive resolve at this range. Nothing is off the table. Ensemble trends are key. Something (at least tracking, watching) is going to occur. I'm not convinced to a prediction based on the OP. Stay vague and hope eternal. Something tis better than nothing.
-
Oh, the irony. Someone somewhere is going to be feeling they got screwed. Striving for perfection as in knowing you're in the jack D10 from an actual event occurring. The models never waffle, all look about the same and it comes to verify. What a boring hobby, there would be no need of the forum. Science perfected which will never happen The tracking (chase) has always been the interest not the event itself. Throw-out the IMBY mentality and just take what you get not what could have been. LUCKY SOB's Y'all don't appreciate how lucky y'all are! Back to my free airshow. F18's buzzing the sky in the 80F COC day

Woof, Woof! Hoping the BITE will be worse than the bark. I assume there's a New Moon? When Ginx speaks people listen.

Blast from the past! Love them old daily weather maps. Had them delivered (Dept. of Commerce) for years, some might still be in the basement of the homestead in Braintree Ma.

DIT just passed out; his ICE fantasy fulfilled. Days if not months of suffrage.

So, everyone thinking there's still a chance. Salvage the season? Reminisce of that April 1st of yore was epic. Took a personal day off from work, telling my co-workers it was going to be a humdinger. Garden Apartment in Everett Ma. awoke to the entrance buried all in about 6hrs overnight. Being removed from New England I personally would rather have seen a storm a week to track. Interest has turned into tracking, watching events regardless of location occurrence.

I cringe even seeing a picture. Probably to political. Here's the catch, wait and watch the defunding of The Dept. of Commerce. NOAA is essential to all forum members.

The problem with the 12z GFS run is: Hanging hopes on a D8,D10 run. Blah,blah,blah... it's been stated over and over again that "maybe" believe it only if it's inside D3 at least with this year's performance record.

New England Winter 2024-25 Bantering, Whining, and Sobbing Thread

Speaking about the heavens. I have a 12" DOB that I'm about to gaze upon and explore the Solar System and beyond. Heard there was a Type 1 supernova to become visible in Orion. -

I'm a human. Plain as day. Confirms what I was thinking about some of the posts round here. LOL
