  1. We know how well he downslopes on northeast winds.
  2. HREF mean of over 3" in 24 hours is one of the higher totals I've ever seen. Based on the guidance coming in, somebody is going to see some flooding.
  3. And it says we get to model watch all over again around the 29th.
  4. Why not rip and read the HMON and send it over ITH.
  5. I feel like this is a really important point too. So many people get wrapped up in the 1 putts, but on average the 50/50 make/miss distance for an amateur is 8 ft. Outside of that and you can't expect to make every one. So you're just trying to put a good roll on it and give it a chance but not making a dumb mistake like leaving it 6 ft short or long. It's counterintuitive but once I stopped trying to make everything I started making more putts.
  6. Gimme whatever the 3km NAM is on. If it remains a decent spinner threat tomorrow in PA I'm definitely interested to see what it does in New England.
  7. At my best I had an index of 9.7, which was good for a course handicap of 9. I would guess my index is probably north of 15 now though.
  8. I think it's the commitment level that makes the difference there. Once I start the routine I'm committed and have better outcomes. My father will change his putting grip as soon as he misses a 5 footer. He'll start the round standard, then switch to left hand low, then claw, etc. It drives me nuts.
  9. This is my favorite type of tip: the easy fix. Every swing is different, and trying to get someone to get more upright or come from the inside just may not always work. But stance, grip, ball position - those are easy to change and pretty much universally beneficial. My biggest light bulb moment was to come up with a routine on the greens. I copied Tiger (because why not?). He had a pretty simple like 15 second routine once he read the putt. Stand next to the ball and take two practice strokes while looking at the hole, address the ball, one more look at the hole, then go. After I started doing that my putting got much better.
  10. I would assume so too. I saw it mentioned that its spread is related to it being imported as a cover crop, so maybe some rogue seeds were mixed in there.
  11. It's an annual, so cold and snowy should take care of it.
  12. FWIW that app keeps giving me Japanese clover (it's in the bean family!) Would seem to be on the northern end of its range, but who knows. Not sure you want to let it flower, but that could probably help ID.
  13. Maybe if you're measuring over the poo pits in Winthrop?
  14. Looks like Nash was going back to his time in the Pacific. It means hiking.
  15. I would like to see some better forcing for that. Really just CAPE eaters for the moment, and upper support if anything retrogrades west tonight as the trof axis swings east.
  16. I can't. I could see someone rip lines across MA and CT though. It is Friday night after all.
  17. I could see Ryan having to interrupt his own station's news for something in Litchfield Co. Just slide right into the anchor's chair.
  18. I was definitely at my skinniest the four summers I worked for a moving company. 6 floor walk up in Boston during July?
  19. Officially ordered the new TaylorMade P790s. I knew they would instantly backorder, but my fitted shaft and mid size grips are apparently setting them back to Halloween without the grips and Thanksgiving with them. Not that I'm playing much right now anyway, but it looks like we start fresh in the spring. Somehow convinced my wife to get a social membership at a country club so now I have to play right?
  20. Heavy, heavy. Actually I can't make light drizzle and dense fog appear in the same grid. They have to match intensity.
  21. This is what is going to send me out of Banter for the night. 4,115 out of ~164,000,000. Even if the level of breakthrough infection was 10 or heck let's say 50 times higher than what has been reported that's still only .125% of vaccinated people.
  22. I'm actually really happy that you can afford to make that decision with your kids. Truly. If I could I think my wife and I would do the same, but not everyone is in that position. So I get irritated when I see people who in the name of their freedom take away from my kids' freedom (I'm not singling you out here, but the broader "people" who actively flout the recommendations to make a statement). I can't force anyone to get a vaccine or get their kids vaccinated for COVID (of course we do for many other diseases), but the primary way my kid will not get it at school is if those people mask up in indoor, public settings at the current moment. I don't like it anymore than the next person (I've been wearing a mask at work for 8-10 hours a shift since last summer, I get it, I'm tired of it too).
