snow weenies absolutely devastated right now, winter cancelled yet again.

this is weather for snails or ducks or maybe some kind of horrible duck snail/snail duck monster

really don't understand what NWS was thinking rolling out the new radar, it shows you as little information as possible as slowly as possible.

how come the Mid-Atlantic banter thread is so much better than the NYC one buncha hoopleheads all hopped up on strange breakfast meats, drinking maple syrup out of the bottle, stuffing jello molds full of hot dogs and canned pastas ya'll need jesus

so anyway i was pointed here by one of my fellow NYCers, i heard one of your posters is predicting an upcoming blizzard. where's that post?

ultimately it doesn't even matter when our offense is this pitiful. i dread the Yankee road games, they've been miserable experiences for years and years, every aspect of the Orioles' game seems to degrade.

he's not an outfielder we have too many not-really-a-defenders including Mancini

just stopped in from the NY metro forum to say go O's baybeeee i can't wait to lose this one in the 12th and go to bed angry

not a cloud in the sky and more good weather coming up. good baseball weather. the Yankees are playing baseball's greatest team, the Baltimore Orioles, in the Bronx the next three days. the Orioles are heavily favorited to sweep but anything can happen.

i hate meteorologists they are the worst buncha nerds with their rain gauges and their slide rules and their pocket shirts

what year was this

we are really getting slapped around here in Middlesex. wind is coming from unexpected directions.

i refuse to believe these are real photos, i am pretty sure these are just screenshots from the upcoming Silent Hill movie. classic haunted boat trick right there boys.

2009 right? i mean it's all relative at this point.

if it weren't for snakes, spiders, and possums we'd be overrun by all kinds of nasties... i even let house centipedes live... on a warm summer day, along the D&R canal trail, you can find tons of northern water snakes basking, coiled in big piles, or swimming through the canal. i am looking forward to it!

lazy day today Friday was very nice and i made a new friend. iPhone 12 camera--bretty good

this is a premium post

February was amazing, the rest of it was fall-lite, but that's OK any season with a 20" blizzard has to be at least an automatic B or greater, right?

i'm seeing a huge squall line for CNJ on June 15th at 4:15 PM

premium spring weekend coming up. totally unimpeded sunshine will help temperatures overperform and declining winds will make it feel warmer besides. i am going to spend the entire time debating politics with strangers on the internet.

this is an interesting insight.

i am not vegan but when i need to entertain them i make a good vegan chili. 2 large spanish onions chopped garlic to taste--i use up to a full bulb 2 red bell peppers 1 orange bell pepper 1 yellow bell pepper 2 poblano peppers 5 jalapeno peppers 1 large can dark red kidney beans 1 large can light red kidney beans 1 can each of navy, pinto, black, small red, cannellini, and roman beans 1 can of sweet corn 3-4 cans whole peeled tomatoes, roughly 105 oz. chili powder 1/3 cup, cayenne powder 2 tbsp, paprika 2 tbsp, cumin 1 tbsp, crushed red pepper 2 tbsp, salt to taste. all seasonings to taste but those are my suggestions. sautee, in olive oil, in order: onions, garlic, peppers. core the bell peppers, personally i leave the poblanos and jalapenos and chop them whole, and throw in the seeds and the pith. the pith is the white flesh inside the pepper holding the seeds and contains the vast amount of the spicy capsaicin. throwing in the pith ensures the weakest member of the dinner party dies, thus making the pack stronger. once everything is sauteed and a bit soft and there's lots of liquid, stir in spices one at a time. then throw in the beans, corn, and then tomatoes w/juice ofc, and bring it back to a simmer for at least a few hours but ideally like 6+. serve on basmati rice and/or with jalapeno cornbread. that one gets rave reviews even amongst meat eaters, with meat, it's award-winning.

ticks: nature's second-worst animal. after watching my boss go through Lyme i became a militant tick-checker. everyone should if you have a chance to be exposed. given the progression of weather around here i assume the tick problem is just going to get more extreme every year.

today, a much-needed soaking rain which will wake up all sorts of noxious weeds and awful biting insects filled with disease. nature is healing.
