Rhino16 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Being from Central VA, should I just pack up and go home? Our Average is about 10.3”, and I am in no way expecting (I never “expect” anything when it comes to weather, maybe a little lie in there) to pass that, and I doubt we even get close to that. I think i’m just too far south to get in on anything, but I know near nothing about this stuff. If I shall “go home” send me postcards of all your fun snow (white or clear) before it melts! Edit: And perhaps it’s too soon to decide... I just want time out of class once this year, it will give me time to learn Calc before I take it next year. (NEEERRRRDDD!)

My dad was a huge Star Trek fan, we watched new shows together quite often when I was growing up. My dad was also a Tim Allen fan, and watched many of his movies.

Ground is frozen, ice on the creeks, and nothing in bloom. Did have some random clumps of spring grass popping up during the warm stretch, and some scattered low to the ground weedy growth, but nothing significant.

jaydreb Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Holy crap look at those totals in Pac NW. Over 10’ of snow?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve25 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Happy 4 year anniversary to the last major snowstorm! According to my image gallery. A reminder that I haven't had a storm with 10+ inches of snow going on 4 years. I think in my last research, I came to the conclusion that we get 1 significant snow every 4-5 years. So, if it doesn't happen in the remainder of this winter, I'm pushing all my chips in on next winter lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I liked many of the Next Gen episodes, what really sticks with me for some reason is the one where Picard's mind is "taken over" by a space probe, which has him re-live an entire lifetime as someone from an old civilization that had long gone extinct. As if to keep the memory of their history alive (I liked the touch at the end where the flute he played while re-living the memory is then given to him as a gift). I believe that Netflix should have "Galaxy Quest" available, certainly on DVD (but I don't think it's available on their streaming service). We rented that out from them within the past year or so. Agree on Tim Allen, I liked the first Santa Clause movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on Tim Allen, I liked the first Santa Clause movie. See I grew up with the original Star Trek. My mom was a trekkie. Huge fan. She recorded every episode and multiple times from different TV stations because they ran different versions. When TNG came out we bought into that one too. The best TNG one IMO was when Barkley(The guy from the A-Team) got implanted with super knowledge so he could bring the Enterprise to the alien race what had tons of info. Wish that was real TBH. We need some super technology. Even the newest re-boot of Star Trek is pretty good and a fan of that movie series. But Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Bones from the 60s will always have a place due to mom and going to so many conventions in the 80s. Thats what makes Galaxy Quest so great. I've been to those things. I've seen how people are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
