  1. I hope that I watch a full-fledged commuting nightmare unfold on the roads while I sit blissfully in my VRE seat this afternoon. Edit: And that no one gets hurt on the roads, of course.
  2. Down to 31 in Burke. I’m thinking this might work out OK tomorrow, especially as it’s something that’s flown very much under the radar.
  3. Don't hate just because the DC sports fanbase is weak.
  4. Speaking of imperial stouts, I just brewed one today. 3-hour boil, so I’m hoping for a really nice Maillard reaction to give me some real depth of flavor. Original gravity is 1.130, and I mashed at 156...shooting for a final gravity of 1.036 or thereabouts, which will put me at 14.5%. That’s before any bourbon that makes its way in from the soaked toasted oak spiral, cacao nibs, vanilla beans, and almonds.
  5. I’d be all over that if I can find it. Thanks for the heads up! Nice. Is that brewery-only or is it in distribution?
  6. But Ji's posts suck, which is far worse than anything PSU can conjure.
  7. Yup. Happens every year. Those are usually the people I have on ignore anyways, so I won't be missing much this time around. I've come to accept that we could be pretty much SOL for the next 3-4 weeks and that we may well (again) find ourselves with a chilly and miserable early spring. If that happens, I'll be more disappointed for my little girls than anything because I want to see them have an absolute f'ing blast in the snow!
  8. It’s more unlikely than likely that anyone here will see an 09-10 equivalent in this area again, but it’s not at all impossible.
  9. The Shoppers in Burke will be replaced by a Lidl. We’re pretty excited by it. My wife has a deep connection to Germany, and our experiences there have always been really good.
  10. OK...so so at least *I* wasn't crazy reading your post.
  11. Gotcha. That was a gut-punch, for sure. I left my brother’s house In South Jersey as high clouds started thickening up, knowing what was coming for them. As we drove down 95, we hit some flurries, but when I got home I started getting first reports of snow from my family. The reason I asked is because you mentioned the week-long heater not long after, and didn’t recall any good stretch that winter that you may have been referring to.
  12. You're not referring to Boxing Day, are you?
  13. You should start deleting Bob's posts since he is obviously using his powers to set the US alight with a Pacific blowtorch.
  14. It's been like this for the last couple weeks, and even when the sun has been out it's almost always been breezy (this past Sunday was an exception). Really an awful stretch of weather.
  15. “Ignorance is bliss“ has never been truer.
  16. Nice. We have quite a few of them in my neighborhood - they really are huge. I love watching them go from tree to tree and bang the hell out of them. Loud buggers, too.
  17. Pleasantly surprised, but I don't trust them. They'll probably close for a day when it's 12F with a little wind in the morning.
