MillvilleWx Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 So, yesterday I came in pretty disappointed after being hung out to dry (literally) by mother nature for most of our storm. The last 4.5 hrs, however brought some serious magic and we almost reached 5" for the storm total (3.5" in 4.5 hrs). It was incredible as we hugged the western edge like some people around here hug models. The last band brought 1.6" of the fluffiest snow I'll ever see for down here in 2 hrs time. I could not believe my luck. It was a banner way to exit an otherwise craptastic year. Here's to 2021. Happy New Year everyone 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife and I are starting Drynuary on Sunday...because there’s no way in hell we could go two weekend nights in a row after the last two weeks. I feel a bit of relief that I’ve got a couple more days to go, but I’m fearful of my mental state come next Sunday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mistakenly broke my chain of the vertical by drinking the 11. It was a drunken moment of stupidity during one our previous years snow storms. Let me know how the tasting goes. Love to hear about it. Cheers! Weather related - it’s cold and damn rainy. Too bad it wasn’t 10 degrees colder. We’re cracking the 2020 Anniversary bottle (aged in Weller 12-year barrels) and 2017 Reserve (aged in 11-year Knob Creek barrels), and will follow that with a couple cans of Parish Holy Ghost. We’re going to have the same stout share this time next year. Nice list! Keeping those beers for double-digit years is really impressive! I feel the pain on ruining your vertical in a moment of weakness . I have 2014 and 2016-2020 stouts, as well as a 2014 barleywine. Jealous of those older bottles, but I’d never be able to pull the trigger on drinking them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40westwx Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 btw... I just drove to Lancaster and home to look at a puppy and it averaged 34 and heavy rain the entire trip... we do indeed do 34 and heavy rain better than any one in the country.

I have 2 of those each so would love to do that. I want to share with people who would truly appreciate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had never seen snow before in his life. At one point I remember he said “I didn’t know you lived at the North Pole. PSU - that's hilarious and very coincidental as our exchange student (Luis) asked the same thing. Well, he didn't say it outright because his limited English prevent getting anything close to a complex thought out. What he did was point to a picture of Santa and asked if Santa is here - in Ohio. He was shaking so much from the combination of jet lag, fright, cold and sheer terror we thought he was going to pass out. And that was just from the walk off the plane into the terminal. When we walked outside the terminal to the parking lot he almost went into convulsions. Don't remember how cold it was at the time, maybe teens or 20's, which was normal for Ohio back then.

SHOULD I start? Try a beer. Try a real one- a craft ale, maybe a fruity/juicy IPA or something, not a Bud lite lol. I wouldn't go straight to trying liquor, although a lot of young adults do just that. Jager bombs ftl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is up there with the 65" NAM run before the 2013 New England Blizzard lol The crazy part is the map is actually good outlining the hardest hit areas.
