My kids are lunatics. Little ones that don’t believe in sleep.

“The sun is dead”

Glad the storms look to be holding off around here in Fairfax County until 9 or so. Kids can get out without getting soaked, and we can get settled in at home in time for the action.

<EJ> Kids need to toughen up. If today’s helicopter, snowflake parents can’t let their kids handle a little rain then there’s no hope for them. </EJ>

You bastard...

Looking forward to watching the radar as we take the kids out trick-or-treating tomorrow. Hopefully we have a nice light show while we're out!

That would suck. I want to enjoy Halloween with the kids!

OH is so good. Buddy of mine was working in New York regularly for about six months earlier this year and would stop by to grab cans before heading home at the end of the week. Always nice to have a fresh supply of beers like that. We've also been picking up OH at DTC if we're able to make the trek. They (and EQ) occasionally drop in Fairfax County, too, but the supply is super limited and the price is generally pretty high. Buddies and I are putting together a group of guys to go in on a barrel via Aslin's Barrel Select project. Would be pretty sweet if we can make it work...

If an October day doesn’t have a high of <50 and isn't raining (or both), then it sucks.

That's a big part of it. That, and the fact that there's just more product available.

Always been "high cost," but as C.A.P.E. says, that's not a bad price for the style. Agreed, but KBS is now just an OK beer. Too many other great ones to choose from nowadays, so I'll likely pass on it, too. You or @nw baltimore wx (or @Scraff?) interested in going in on the Aslin Barrel Select program? Should only be 8-10k for a barrel...

Did we?

Veteran’s Day II. Book it.

CASE WHEN CANSIPS.NAO > 0 THEN ‘ORANGE’ ELSE ‘ORANGE’ END AS SHITE

More interesting than baseball.

My buddies want to go out for a few beers tomorrow night, which would be the first time in a while I’ve been able to get out with the fellas. Problem is...they want to watch the World Series game. Ugh...

39 IMBY in Burke. Chilly waiting for the train.

Absolutely. We still need the rain pretty badly, and it's nice to see some juice kicking in as the cool season gets going.

Pleasantly surprised by the relatively quick turnaround in this thread's fortunes. Doesn't hurt that we actually got some rain and that the pattern definitely flipped. That, plus the fact that we're seeing some decently chilly stuff at not terribly long range will certainly get the juices flowing.

Sounds like @WxUSAF during a cold smoke bomb.

06z GEFS maintains the -NAO and relaxes the WAR a bit compared to the #majorfreakingdisaster of yesterday afternoon.

If today's forecast for rain had occurred last Tuesday, we'd have already had 10 pages discussing it. Now? Meh...

You must be new around here...
