On December 28th.....yeah just a tad.
If you follow/understand enough (and i think you do), yes there are still enough signs that nothing should be written off....yet. Now in 6 weeks....you can have at it....If that happens....I'll be long gone by then anyway, so it wont matter one bit to me.
Anyone in this sport for enough time knows that warm/losing is the correct bet 70-80% of the time anyway...and that's no new norm and hasn't changed much at all (if one views purely snow (not warmth) records. We go into winter knowing that, and don't need reminded every 6hrs. That's where instant gratification society and weather (snow), just don't mix at all.
FWIW, it's not my board...and I wont act like it is. You do you....but if anyone thinks the undertones don't have an effect.....you're kidding yourselves.
Just look at the forum to the south....most/many good ones left for a reason....and that wasn't my doing. Carry on....
