Scarlet Pimpernel

But just make sure to wait for the shake!!

I believe Yogi Berra actually said that at some point though, even if it's not originally his? Of course, there's always his, "It's deja vu all over again!"

Oh no!!! Don't tell me Jeb is turning into a jumper...Jumpin' Jebman? So now instead of Jebwalks, we'll resort to Jebjumps???

Since when did a voice of reason ever stop that from happening???

Made me think of "Major League" with..."JUUUUST a bit outside!" (JUUUUST a slight delay!)!!

Well, @WxWatcher007 is officially retired so he won't be visiting anytime soon for the purpose of taking any souls that are crying out! Now, the Panic Room is BYOT...bring your own tombstone, and carve it yourself! I guess it keeps the overhead costs down.

Happy Christmas to you, and to all!! The Reaper is celebrating in style, I understand. Benefits of retirement, half-price Starbucks Holiday drinks to all skeletons over 500 years old!

"Very well, you may take the day. But be here all the earlier the next morning!"

Happy Christmas to all!!! A few photos for you that I took today...

Awww, man! Surf Univ! A very fine institution!!!

Good idea. Just remember...it's very bad to steal Jobu's rum. VERY bad!

While in college, thinking about "basic wave physics" 24/7 around finals time was a necessity!!!

I guess Santa's going to have a little extra in his cookies (brownies? gummies?) at your place when he stops by tonight!!

Ha! Kind of reminds me of Obi-Wan Kenobi's quote, "Who's the more foolish...the fool, or the fool who follows him?"

Amen! Thanks for the breath of sanity!!

So you have your own "Ji's" in there as well, eh??

Deb is definitely NOT a friend with benefits!!!

So, if you fit a block of several beers of the same type in there, do you get to drink them all at the same time and clear out space for more???

FYP, translated into Harry Potter-ese for ya! We're not supposed to actually say the name of that...event! But you're right, coming off that previous winter, and with Dec. 2010 being cold, I think a lot of expectations in here were off-kilter and unrealistic. Now, it's the opposite vibe. Several meh to lousy winters and the mood is total defeat, and if a butterfly farts and causes one cycle of an ops model to look slightly less good, it's a freak-out!

I believe that was mostly February into early March 2015. I don't recall all that much prior to about mid-Feb, then we got on a heater for about 3-4 weeks straight! And that February was COOOOLD, like -9 or -10 on the month for temps! Ahhh, semi 'd by Chill! You're right, now that you mention it I do recall SNE getting hammered by a couple of storms late Jan or early Feb in 2015 and we got fooked. Then yeah, Feb. 14 was that Arctic blast and intense snow squalls for an hour or so, got 2" where I am! I still consider that to be the best or one of the best "mini" events I've experienced here! And Bob, I still somehow recall you mentioning that you were out grilling during that snow burst, taking it all in!!

OK, so...when did the medium/long range thread become a drug discussion? Everything from brownies to gummies to shrooms to psychedelics! I'll take whichever one gives us snow!

I notice you do have some food in there amongst the beer. Good idea! Unless you just placed that there for effect!! (ETA: Laughing Cow cheese wedges...good stuff! Same for the cheese tortellini!!)

Do you need some time alone with that map?

People's mood swings are crazy in here, it gets unreadable anytime something looks slightly less favorable compared to the previous day ("OMG, no digital snow yet, aren't we supposed to be going into this so-called great pattern by next week???"). It honestly makes it difficult to sift through with all the panic and other trolling BS.

Yup...20.0" where I'm at not all that far away (Silver Spring, just over the DC line). Amazing storm, and it was extra-special because it had been years since we last got a true HECS here. It started Friday night (Dec. 18), like late evening, around 9-10PM, and accumulated rapidly. I had 9" on the ground by Saturday morning (19th), and then 20" by the time it ended. My daughter had just turned 6 in November of that year, and I have a photo of her on that Saturday in her pink winter coat with the snow up to her waist!
