We're going to need to adjust our forecast to account for eclipse cooling for a couple hours.

I like games like that which can keep all skill levels engaged. That's why I always liked bingo bango bongo so much when I was getting into the game. I was rarely the first to hole out, but I could certainly be first on or closest to the pin once I finally got on the green.

He likes to do this. Blow up on day 1 and then claw his way back into it rounds 2-4.

They just started popping at the top of the hill in my neighborhood. Seemed to happen overnight last night. Nothing on the way to work yesterday, but there today.

Lollis to one million.

Looking for a string of expletives in the AFD next week. Though I guess that could mean I either won or lost.
-
The year Willett won I had picked him, but because two of my guys missed the cut I didn't even finish in the money. That was a tough one.
-
Hmm, to win is a little different than fitting 6 guys into a salaried system where they all add up points. I typically like guys who perform well at Augusta in their careers to finish high up the leaderboard. So guys like DJ, JT, Rahm, Speith (but given that he won last week I'm actually more suspect about his chances this week). Cantlay always seems to be lurking around the top 10 too.

I also put in for the DK Masters millionaire maker, so I'm about to become independently wealthy.

I have to respect Rory because he's not afraid to be honest about golf. He's been pretty outspoken about players and rule changes in the last few years. Like when he said he lost his swing a bit trying to compete with Bryson's distance. That's like if I started admitting that I was changing my forecast methodology to keep up with Kevin's wild swings.

I had a food delivery guy who used to work landscaping suggest Milorganite when I was top dressing last year and I tried it out around Halloween. Remains to be seen how the grass will grow, but the front half that I used it on has greened up very quickly.

No doubt kids are falling behind because of this, but I'm also not sure how we classify notable outbreaks. Plenty of districts in Maine had to go remote because of transmission in school that included cases going from school to home and infecting other family members. My larger point though is that you sound like you are suggesting this was all intentional (forgive me if I'm reading it wrong). So I'm just wondering what the endgame is if there were some higher "they" that wanted to keep kids remote this year.
-
I'm not sure the extension of masking and school systems in remote status is anything particularly nefarious though. The outlook for the pandemic changed from the implementation of initial measures to where we are now. I expect things to change as the outlook does. It's no different than a weather forecast. You don't ride your messaging into the ground just because that's what you initially went with on day 7. You adjust as more information becomes available.

PWM did and the mountains did, but it was too transient at GYX. I actually beat the office season total, and that can't happen too often.
-
I think there's a large gap between standardizing what is safe for vaccinated people to do and a true vaccine passport. I've seen more banning of passports than I've seen implementation at this point. But honestly I haven't found restrictions to be overly burdensome this year. Nothing was going on anyway, so it's not like I was missing out. With my wife being pregnant for much of it it was my choice not to accept risk by getting together with family and close friends.

You can really see it in the obs. As the winds got gusty the dewpoint fell off the table.
-
The US has shown zero appetite to even glance down that road, so are you really concerned about what other countries are doing? I'm genuinely curious.
-
Not much we can do about Europe opting into it. I'm not really going to be upset if I have to show my Pfizer card to enjoy a villa in Tuscany in the next year.
-
Not to wade into this garbage too much, but there has been zero substantive discussion from actual policy makers (on a federal level anyway). What I've seen is from talking heads, the very online, or private entities. Like I really don't see this as an actual threat, but rather something for people to argue about.
-
Not a long period of record by any means, but long enough to nearly be the climate "normal" period of record. T13 least snowy at PWM which goes back to 1881 with snowfall records.
-
Same bottom 3 seasons for GYX. We just missed the best banding in December at the office and so were kind of a local minimum preventing us from topping 20".
-
1993-1994 was the first full season here.
-
Snow up to thy knickers
-
Just looking at the not quite final GYX snow numbers for the season and it looks like we'll come in roughly 9" below the previously worst ever season (41.7" to 50.4"). For only the 3rd time ever this winter will feature no month with 20"+ snowfall.
