Like I'm sure is the case with a lot of members here, I'm seen as the go-to guy for a weather forecast at my office. I gained a reputation for telling the staff that there would be no snow from 12/25-26/2010, even as talk when we broke for the holiday was a major snowstorm was possible. When LWX hoisted the WSW's for 6-10" on Christmas Eve, I was getting texts joking about my "forecast." I just replied with winks.

Last year, when the talk was still of rain for the 1/26 storm, I was advising the boss not to schedule appointments with suppliers from overseas for that afternoon, and ultimately persuaded him to close the business early that day, and as a result, we all got home ahead of the disaster with that evening commute.

I also told several friends at work on 10/21 that we might see a snowfall before Halloween. That was pretty satisfying when it verified. Last week, I was asked when we would see some snow on the ground, and I said hopefully for Super Bowl Sunday. The warmth this week brought about more ribbing. I could really use some of that neige the GGEM was spitting out today. :ph34r:

If this weekends event fails apart at the last minute it will get very ugly in here. Lots of #2ing going on for what just a couple of years ago would be a totally meh event

Surprisingly the word 'meh' has not even appeared anywhere regarding this weekend. I imagine if it is a bust or just another dusting we will see it in the post-game analysis So much for this winter. Anyway, a few small events will make the month fly by and we will be complaining about the cold Spring soon enough. (At least I will.)

I am looking out of my back window at a large cloud of midges, flying around in the clear evening sunlight. If we don't get a decent cold snap in Feb, this summer is going to suck, bug-wise.

Cyonara 9.7 will do the trick - perimeter treatment. Although that won't help if you're outside lol

Yea, heavy heavy frost thi morning. No warnings or advisories either. LWX asleep at the wheel. I'm mad there wasn't at least a one hour delay to cover for extra scrape time.

Honestly, 2 of my guys were late this morning, they blamed their tardyness on having to scrape! and the one guy said, "i thought winter was over man, i put my scraper away"
