he saw it on the app formerly known as twitter

This green beret's gonna kick your bag ass. I eat green berets for breakfast, and right now I am VERY hungry

Hasta la vista, dryslot

Enjoy the D

shouldn't it always?

March 2012 walking in the door! /DIT

oh yeah, I totally forgot about those warm days, blocked them from memory i guess

wild. i am sure it is due to the overnight mins which have been mostly in the teens. The daytime hasn't exactly been warm, almost every day in the 20's with that god forsaken wind making feel like it is -50 the entirety of SNE and CNE just smashed their keyboards. mine will be smashed right after I click "Submit Reply"

no unopened nips at my house, I just made sure of that

@tunafish you slayed me with those wolfie/Greta pics. and you owe me a new keyboard

4-6" here while Georges Bank gets 18+. makes sense

Sully, remember when I said I would kill you last? I lied. Scooter, remember when I said I would get you a snow storm? I lied.

that is fair

can't argue with anything in this post aside from the HS ski team thing. Pretty much every ski area has snowmaking, so even though it hasn't snowed in the area, there is ample coverage at a majority of ski areas. my guess it is more due to kids not wanting to participate or it being too expensive for the school

i am sofaking sick of the wind. please make it stop.

I was able to rebuild, but it happened again today. This time the trash can was more like 30 feet away. will rebuild again

because I don’t have gas. Well, I frequently have gas, but there is no gas service to my area. And no thanks on propane.

what’s with the friggin hurricane outside? it’s windier today than it was during the HWW last week. I could use some sun if for no other reason than to warm my house up a bit. Currently freezing as I await the HVAC guy come to give me a quote to replace my oil furnace

I was going to say that it looks like white ash, but wanted to wait to see @tamaracks answer in case I was wrong. those trees are toast. you will see some leaves next year, but will be mostly bare. Cut them down before they become a hazard. I had a dead one standing in my woods for the last couple of years, it finally came down in the wind the other day. the only way to stave off the ash borer beetle is preventative treatment before they invade. you are several years too late.

beer? like @Layman said, there are a ton of variables in any weather event. Most of us enjoy reading those types of posts so we can learn what it takes for something to go right, or to go wrong. if we didn't talk about them, then might as well just shut the forum down.

never saw 40 Year Old Virgin? Rum Well played

Go fuck yourself Pronounced Geena or Gyna?

I admit that I was wrong about the winds. I came home to find both trash cans blown over and moved about 10 feet. thankfully they were empty. I will rebuild

agreed-I guess my point regarding "a few" bad data points, is that if us weenies (and of course you Mets) notice that temp discrepancies, and they are not addressed for a long time, it's a problem like you said. I'll not beat a dead horse on this. I just think that unless the data being used is confirmed to be accurate (regular instrument calibration, etc), it shouldn't be used to used to support the CC debate (on either side) or for climate records. for all we know, a certain percentage of the data is skewed too low, which would mean that CC is way worse than we think.
