Not gonna blame this one on the refs but NFL officiating is terrible for a sport that rakes in billions. Ravens got called for a defensive holding early in the game, which was a correct call but very minor hold. Later in the game there were multiple times ravens receivers were held and no call. I understand that they are told to "let them play" in the playoffs, but the uneven-ness of the calls is irritating.

Someone has to answer for that... We had no momentum in the first half. Playing from behind in the second. Chiefs basically took our game plan of long punishing drives and used it against us. Monken never got Lamar in a rhythm. Nothing short, no slants, no screens. Honestly flashbacks to cam cameron airing it out on every play. No idea if this was by design or if Lamar was trying too much for the big splash play. Lamar held the ball WAY too long. Either throw it away, check down, or run with it. Trying to hard to prove his passing skills. Monken/Lamar own this loss. I hope Flowers can shake this off. Made a couple rookie mistakes at the wrong time. Penalties / bad decisions cost us at least 6 points. Chiefs are a beatable team but you can't play dumb. Too many turnovers and penalties mixed with a suspect offensive game plan lost the game. Defense played as good as you can against #15. They were on the field for most of the first half and held the chiefs scoreless in the 2nd.

I guess it wasn't a torch, but this past week destroyed the snowpack even in western MD. I went from playing in 18" of snow last weekend to bare wet muddy ground this weekend. Wisp really took a beating, looks like snowmaking opportunities later this week. They made snow for a week straight and are back to ~50% open.

I thought the piles stood a chance, boy was I wrong! Even the pig plow piles are fading fast in the sun and heat.

Where you at?? I'm down by 103/100 and it was pretty heavy 8-12pm. Probably have 5" total. Last hour or so its been very light, fine snow.

deer probably fertilized right there.

Thats part of the Christmas decorations, smarta$$. Actually it was a covid purchase... Really classes up the neighborhood.

They issued a HRW (heavy rain warning) for g-town.

Glad I kept the lights up!

Me too! Turned them back on tonight. All the neighbors probably think i'm crazy.

Ahem.. Your snow forecast map kinda had an Atari vibe to it

We never do well when NWS goes bullish. Best to see WWAs and over perform than WSWs and shit the blinds.

That would be awesome, leaving one winter wonderland and starting a new one!

It doesnt want to stop snowing out here!!! We might hit the slopes early before it gets super cold. Deck pic!

Do you get your drive plowed? I showed up this morning to a glacier. Luckily my neighbor came up this afternoon with his bobcat and got me a path to park the cars. Its going to turn into an iceberg this weekend.

Pretty sure Garrett Co is still gonna get snow for awhile . We currently have 6-8" of super dense ice-snow on the ground. Snowblower can't even touch it its so dense. Had to use a bobcat to plow my drive. Snowplow pile was 24" and hard as a rock. Local plow guy's blade couldn't make a dent in it. DMV? We might fluke into something but at this point I'm not holding my breath. Gotta road trip it for the white stuff.

Dang! Stay safe! It started as sleet at my house in Swanton but now its just rain.

What are the thoughts on the depth of cold being shown? Overdone? So far looks prolonged with reinforcement every couple days. Single digits for multiple days out in the mountains.

HoCo is closing 3 hrs early! Bah! Back in my day we walked uphill both ways in the rain. Newspaper for shoes too daggummit!

Driving through our neighborhood this morning, about an inch on top of the ~4 inches from yesterday. Light to moderate snow all day at Wisp, made for a good day skiing and no crowds! Driving through the state park on the way home:

Some pics from my weekend trip. I-68 prior to Cumberland, some of the heaviest snow we drove through. I-68 just after Cumberland: My electric snow chariot. Can't do deep stuff but snow tires + AWD handles pretty much everything else. Lake had about an inch of ice in our cove.
