To the point that I fell four, that's right FOUR times walking the pup this AM. Sore ribs and wrist but don't think I broke anything. That's six falls in two days, so...probably should stop falling. Absolutely dangerous as hell to this rapidly aging dude if you can't see bare pavement to step on. As frustrating as the overall winter has been in my part of the area, that's the third time this year we've been able to glaciate what has fallen and hold it for nice winter vistas for many days after the event. That's been nice. yikes, hope you're okay. You too @WxUSAF Be careful! My bum is still sore from falling the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since February 2, 2015, The Panic Room has always tried to stay true to its mission: keep winter fun, even when the snowfall breaks don't go our way. Over the last six years, The Panic Room has grown from a bare bones operation, compiling poetic, creative, and emotional posts about winter that kept the laughs flowing during difficult times, to an industrial operation, serving as the final winter weenie resting place for those that were ready to abandon the insanity of tracking winter storm chances and blind faith in the "Infallible" Euro and other false prophets. The Panic Room became a Mid-Atlantic tradition that was replicated by other subforums on AmWx, showing some of us that winter need not be all tension, bickering, and doom--that we could laugh at our plight as snow-starved winter weenies and unite behind a common purpose: hatred of the fickle nature of winter and snowfall. Our recognitions are numerous, from being frequently called "the best thread on AmWx", to Forbes naming us as one of the World's Best Workplaces for five consecutive years, to a daytime Emmy for our groundbreaking production of Real Weenies of the I-95 Corridor. It has been an extraordinary journey helping people vent and laugh during bad winters and terrible winter weather events, while learning profound things about human nature and the mindset of a wx weenie. With nearly 330,000 visits, thousands of posts, and countless belly laughs over these past six years, it is time to hang up the sickle. The last call on reapings has arrived. The end, thankfully, is near. Thank you, WxWatcher007 Lord High Executioner Founder & CEO, The Panic Room Not gonna lie, this announcement makes me a little...wistful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well and prepping the lawn equip sounds good to me Had to drive to Fredericksburg yesterday for a show for the youngest Miss J. As we headed South the snow pack disappeared. Arrived at the show and could actually see grass and it was 42. Put me in an entirely different mood. Drove home to return to Frederick with snow still covering fields and lawns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you put something in your lawn, on your trees, or in feeders to attract them? The birds that is. Not the players. They like riparian (woods + fresh water) environments. If there are sycamore trees, there will be orioles. We have 2 regular species, Northern Oriole, and Orchard Oriole. The latter can frequent marshes as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I used to do this thing back before debit cards where no matter the amount of the check I wrote, when I recorded it I always wrote it to the next dollar amount. Like if I wrote a check for $12.23 it went into the register as $13. At the end of the month, I would always have a surplus of money left. Just felt that this analogy was relevant.

Did you diligently measure before the mix/change over, and clear your salt board? That's the correct method. I only need 2.5" more salt to pass 30" for the year! Maybe we can get one more brining event in March... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair you crapped on the main thread with your " I got some snow and rain is going to wash away my slop anyway " post then you attacked a guy for mentioning where the mix line was early this morning . Every storm multiple posts are made about the mix line. It's a weather forum storm mode thread . I'm sorry but you were out of line Hey outta here highlander! This is a DC/FFX-south bitch thread now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
