This evening?

You know his response was that month away means more delay right?

The board is full of these

So basically 99.8% of the angst is because of the op GFS???

The similarities are stunning

Ji isn't going to make it...I just hope he didn't spend all of his potential internet money

Lol this place is dumb sometimes

97-98

Yep

Oh lawd the long range thread is about to go from simmer to boil. Might be a good time to check out for a bit

Gfs is either couping or crapping

I think another factor for retail and seasonal merchandise is that they don't want to have much if anything left after the holiday. It costs alot of money to mark stuff down so as little as possible is best thus going out early to run down or out just prior to the holiday...it's all a game trying to figure how much to order

Seems pretty clear to me that everyone has a different definition of what a pattern change is. Some think it means that it happens on an exact day and snow starts falling immediately. Some think it means that it's a gradual shift and adjustment that ultimately results in a different weather pattern with more cold and snow chances. To me the crux of our angst is that a lot of people thought that any shift in the pattern around New Years meant snow vs the slow change towards a better pattern. First world problems with the need for immediate gratification.

Bristow and EJ having an in depth conversation in the long range thread is thrilling

Things feel a bit east today

And there will be a line lol

I always think it's funny how the consumer moans about the timing of holiday merchandise getting put out but starts buying it as soon as it's out. Trust me no retailer is going to waste valuable merchandising space for something that won't move. Enjoy your Valentine's and Easter and passover stuff

I know this much there are two stubborn ass dudes dug in on their beliefs

Someone needs to take a break

Santa was looking out for us yesterday by holding off on these model runs for today

Buzzword Tuesday in full effect

I'm not a young man and I can remember the joke was always about Christmas being warm and the January thaws. Having cold and a white Christmas for our area has always been the exception not the rule.

So my job is affected directly by the changes our world is seeing and I have to deal with it on a regular basis so I am fully aware of and believe in the fact that things are changing rapidly. My beef in the long range thread isn't about the message its the delivery and constant hammering home and even the arrogance behind its delivery at times. Bedside manner is important if you want a message received properly or else you tend to alienate vs educate. Poor delivery can also expose bias. My opinion anyway. Hope it snows soon with an imperfect track. To add poor delivery can cause the yelling fire in a crowded theater effect...as being witnessed now by the usual sheep.

My uneducated brain concludes that cold air source is more important than track

Hey look the panic room is busy...I wonder whose posts in the long range thread sparked it...oh...nevermind
