Itstrainingtime

We still are! I emphasize this fact very often...40+ is a protected class.

I've been teaching a respect in the workplace class over the past few weeks here at work. I use this exact video to illustrate how to properly manage your own actions. LOL

That's kind of what I was saying. I love cold weather, but there comes a point in time when it almost doesn't even "make sense" any longer. If it's March 1st, cold and windy as all get out with snow opportunities for snow on the horizon...let's spring forward.

It would be quite "unfortunate" if late Feb/early March features partly sunny, brisk days with highs around 40 and zero precip.

Soon... #itsmowingtime

I resonate with this so much - I've been gobbling up tickets the past week for a whole lot of games this summer. The itch is real...

Well said. We're going to have realistically about 35 days (2/15 - 3/21) to make a lot of ground. At least there are indications that it could happen. Like you said, it would be beneficial if we get a double digit storm to advance our cause.

Going to be more punts in the next 2 weeks than a Jets - Steelers game.

I can only go by what I've read...I realize it's a risky proposition to make a statement like I did until there's evidence confirming it. I guess maybe I'm being naïve but I feel like this HAS to be a good move. Hey...Cal's a minority owner. It does sound like the wallet will be wide open. There is going to be no fear of spending which the Angelos family did NOT want to do.

I shared this in my "home" thread this morning - hope it's okay to share here as well: I am a very happy fan of the team that my avatar represents this morning. This has been a long time coming. When I was growing up in the 1970s, every MLB team wanted to be like Baltimore..."The Orioles Way" was what it was referred to. The franchise that was run right and played the game right. That started fading in the 1980s... Baltimore, and it's baseball fans have deserved so much better for years, and today marks a new beginning with new hope a whole lot to look forward to with the talent that has been assembled. I wasn't sure I'd be around to say that I'm proud of my team again.

A low of just 35 here after a high of 38 yesterday. Foggy this morning as well.

The long-rage looks from mid-month on has remained remarkably consistent. Cautiously excited for winter to end with a bang.

I don't question other's data out of respect, I'm choosing to assume people are posting data with integrity. I also wouldn't appreciate if others questioned my numbers other than for clarification if something seems completely off. Having said that... that specific stat you mentioned did catch my eye. I hit 97 twice for comparison.

Why are you encouraging this... LOL!

But the posters in question have a big difference - the poster sharing DuBois stats does not live in DuBois, at least to my knowledge. Chescowx is posting info from HIS station. And I know this sounds sorta ticky tacky, but there are a crap ton of Lancaster County posters. All of us live within 45 minutes of Chesco, and many are much closer than that. Other than Atomix and our Clearfield friend, no regular poster in our thread lives anywhere remotely close to DuBois. It's really not an even comparison. Also - I welcomed CC to post anything he damn well wants as long as it's evened out. He is ONLY posting to fit his agenda. Nothing else. At least not in our thread.

As long as you're here in good faith and not to push a singular agenda...sure.

A mild 33 this morning in Maytown.

I'm at 10" for the season - 2 weeks ago I shoveled for the first time since 2021.

At least 4 of us now with a C- (You, Me, Canderson, and MJS) and we got there for the same reasons.

I have multiple extended family members living in and around Jacksonville. Trying to convince my wife to become Duvall proud!

Bubbler's Jacksonville Juggernaut is a wound up sub 990mb beast. At least there's that.

My grade was not for winter in totality - I was grading winter as of 1/29/2024. I said "winter to date".

I think one's view of whether a winter season is good, bad or otherwise is highly subjective. Each of us has (and should) have our own interpretation based on an infinite number of criteria that we all filter through our personal lenses. Thing is...everyone is right and no one is wrong. It really comes down to how we feel individually. If I was doing my own assessment of winter to date, I'm in the C- area. I contemplated D+ but want to be positive. We had an 8 day or so stretch of fantastic winter...2 bona fide snow events surrounded by plenty of cold. A wintry landscape that lasted a full week. Outside of that...it's been a dud. Thing is - the first half of winter was always forecast to be a dud. Doesn't change facts, but knowing that going in influences my opinion somewhat as well. What hurts is that not only are we now entering our prime time for snowfall, we are also into the period that was forecast to be cold and white. Cold and white is likely at least a couple of weeks away...and there's no guarantee that it's coming at all. I'm right around 10" of snow for the season - if we end this season with less than 20", I'm going to have a hard time giving this a passing grade. This is a winter where we're "supposed" to cash in. A BN snowfall this season with what might be coming next year is just not good to me.

LFG Lions!
