  1. The missus will LOVE that this is one of your main hobbies, and not other ladies and entanglements. .
  2. The Sun Angle Boys sound like a backing studio band from a country music documentary. .
  3. When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. .
  4. It’s good, too, to have this bitter cold with a relative lack of snowcover to help keep a lot of insect and invasive plant populations in check near your home. .
  5. Also: https://www.wsj.com/articles/second-homes-are-fueling-a-rebirth-in-the-poconos-11642694375 .
  6. I’m hoping it’s delayed so that we get this in March… cold and muddy in March just means fewer practices on grass and my lawn getting a late start. C’est la vie. .
  7. Hunterdon County, New Jersey… maybe Sussex or Warren if you want more hills and forests. .
  8. Going on absolutely nothing other than recent past experience, this will not pan out. Of course, I hope I’m wrong, but it just has that feel of meh, it’s not gonna happen. That’s my peer-reviewed scientific analysis. .
  9. Wait until you have kids. Then you’ll be on and be like, who are these people and why are they so crazy. .
  10. My completely non-scientific research tells me that while we all claim here to love the cold weather, it’s actually not true. Cold and dry, like when some of us were kids? Nope. We want snow. That’s what we’re here for. Mild weather, cold for a day with big snow, cold for a day or two afterwards, mild again. And repeat. The cold and dry just leads to annoyance amongst the posters. .
  11. You know how some years (like last February) it just finds a way to snow? It happens on the other side of the coin, too. Sometimes, it just finds a way not to. [emoji2371] .
  12. That or everything was *well* north and west of us. Damn it Jackie, I can’t control the weather. .
  13. [emoji848] it’s been cold and our usually snowiest month is February. For what it’s worth, this is exactly the kind of winter we had around here when I was a kid: cold, small events, snow to rain. We just had a major storm last February, and it doesn’t happen every year. Now I sound like my dad to my younger self over thirty years ago. .
  14. Every year, I watch the same movie. Models bringeth, models taketh away, and so it goes. I now go on if it’s good or bad if Walt or Don or their compatriots comment, combined with the sheer number of posts to sift through. .
  15. It’s really cool to hear the reasonable, knowledgeable, and experienced people. As for snowman, he’s like a model with known biases; you know it’s going to be warm and just go from there. .
