I don't mind. Getting tired of the awful black sludge on the streets. need a nice good 50F soaker to clean up all this dirty salt. Time to get out and practice Tennis!

It's telling when you see that a thread has had no posts in almost an hour. And the last post is about no one posting. lol

*Looks for that Lucy Charlie Brown gif where she pulls the football away at the last second*

I was wondering if we were going to start a tracker for the forum on snowpack. If I had a choice, I would definitely choose a 5 inch snowpack that lasted for weeks with the chance of additional snow cover than a 12 inch storm with a washout in three days followed by 50s. My front yard is facing due north and I have 5 foot ice mounds from the plows which should hang around until March if we don't get a big rainstorm with temps in the 50s.

I have to relocate mine. It's difficult in an urban area to get a good spot far from the heat from the house and out of the sunlight. Thinking about hanging it on the north facing side of the tree int he front yard. But my thermo has been as much as 6 degrees off at times.

If this were in the summer, wouldn't this be a mini drought with less than .1" of precipitation?Since the January storm?

Man it's scorching outside. I can literally wear a fleece jacket without freezing my ass off.

I think Michael Jackson edged out Prince. Mike set the standard for all half-time shows. Don't get me wrong, Prince is an awesome guitar player and a masterful composer. However, Mike gave it that wow factor.

Wind gusts now. .

Sqall is here. Heaviest to our south. .

finally! Snow TV. Light to moderate snow. Dusting on the deck and the trashcans.

I know. Thought we would keep the cloud cover from the morning. But of course the sun comes out. Sigh. Waiting for some snow TV.

Sorry this happened. Rule of thumb for job offers is no legitimate company will offer a job without a face-to-face or at least a video interview. Be careful of links to document sites, etc. Always check emails, those usually give scammers away. They pray on people who are too busy to check. Scam emails I get are emails that usually end with gmail.com or some domain other than the company referred to in the email. Instant trashcan for me. I'm super critical of most things. I'm getting older, so I may not be as sharp as I used to be. And with AI, catching scams are getting a lot tougher. I'm starting to fall for the AI slop online. Imagine how scammers can use AI in these situations. I imagine in a few years you will be talking to someone in a video conference and they are AI! Stay vigilant. Hope your kid gets a great job.

The bar can be in the conference room.

Hey, if I ever win the Powerball I will purchase or build a mini hotel in the mountains (Deep Creek?) with like 10 hotel rooms, a kitchen, a game room, and a conference room with screens where we can get together and track some storms! Cool? No? lol EDIT: I guess a cheaper option would be just to reserve some rooms at an existing hotel. lol

Wow! Even the plow has chains!

Chip chip chippin' away at the snowpack.

At least it was cloudy. At night.

Not happy that the cloud cover disappeared completely. But oh well. It's been either absolutely clear or cloudy. Never in between. lol Be nice to be mostly cloudy on these warm days. Meh.

PGCPS closed again tomorrow. I think from the current situation with roads and schools this little MECS that we had should probably be in the HECS category. I've been in the DC area, I can't ever recall county schools being closed this many days in a row. See posts online from a lot of Michigan and New England folks saying they've never experienced anything like this. They're used to snow, but are baffled by the snowcrete.

36F The individual ice chucks are now going to melt into big mountains of ice chunks that will still be around come June.

Me either. The only downside to this winter wonderland is that any outdoor sports are put on hold indefinitely. My son plays tennis and we usually practice when the temps are at least 40F+. But it's been over a week of subfreezing temps and all the outdoor courts are covered with snowcrete until April it seems.

At least the clouds will slow the melting.

PGCPS closed today. We drove by my daughter's school just yesterday afternoon and the entrance hadn't even been touched!

You guys have no idea how happy I am that my kids got to experience something I have never experienced myself. We went snow tubing on a local field that was at least 6 acres. Walking on the clean snowpack without our feet making footprints was wild! I'm 280lbs and I was literally running and my feet did not create footprints! And the tubing on the slickest surface ever? Kids loved it. The tube went fast and far. They could even slide down the hill on their butts! They laughed and had a good time. It is an awesome experience. If we don't get another inch, the last storm will create lasting memories which is good for any kid.
