I understand your frustration but for this particular debacle it’s harder to say it was a valid question. This is because the topic of snow boards has popped up now and again, which if payed attention to would solve the question. Not to mention all the just pictures of snow measurement are all on non paved stuff. Finally what ticked some people off is that it was a very easily googled question.

This is the primary one- just put in a little effort yourself first and if you can't find the answer then ask in the threads. Don't come across as if everything is a mystery.

There is another area down near Gunston that has the same thing going It really has. I couldn't help myself and took another, closer glance at that listing. Forget the "main" house...the guest house is MORE than twice the square footage of my own. But buried down toward the bottom of the breathlessly worded description was a fair amount of "geotechnical stabilization" talk....140 augur cast piles installed along the shoreline, 15 40-foot deep caissons installed on the house's foundation. Given the foundation, underground pipe and general runoff issues that plague Hayfield Farm due to widespread marine clay...I'm quite sure I wouldn't want to live any closer to the Potomac than this. You're uphill from me a good bit...and hopefully y'all don't have to deal with the damnable marine clay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the older folks, words carry more meaning in general because we grew up in an era of face face face communication. It's a psychology thing. Not good or bad. It just is what it is and something to be mindful of I guess, but at the same time I would think that being older would offset the words carrying more thing. At the same time I never really cared/care what others think of me that much, might just be more of a me thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time I never really cared/care what others think of me that much, might just be more of a me thing. It's an honor and respect thing. Something I personally take seriously. There's joking around and then there's something else. That line is subjective but I know exactly where my line is and I don't take S from anyone acting in bad faith or "looking to F with people". This isn't Twitter or TikTok. It's a very niche common interest group. More like a family than broad social media like reddit/fb/Twitter etc. When I call someone out here, it's for the benefit of the board, not me flexing on a power trip. Location matters on the internet. I've personally ripped some redditors a new one in ways I would never ever do here. I agree that thick skin is 100% required to participate on any internet forum. But imho, rules are not universal. I don't care what any internet stranger thinks of me either but that doesn't mean I'll let anything fly whenever. This board isn't about me. Its about a group of common interest people looking to share and learn as a group. Post quality effects 1000s of people here. Many of which have never posted a word here. I always keep "them" in mind when being active here 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not made the connection with the snowboards despite seeing it mentioned but now it makes sense. Which is why the convo took me by surprise. I had assumed I knew how it was measured already--it was a MISTAKE dang it!!!!! I didn't know TO Google it beforehand that's it!!!! Here's my issue...you're exhausting. That's my brutally honest take, so I do kind of apologize if it comes off as dick-ish. It honestly doesn't feel like you actually listen to and process what people tell you. You bring up the same things over and over again, and in much the same fashion (e.g., "Nina! Oh...woe is me! All no-snow problems are because of the Nina!"), and no matter how many people try to answer your questions, give you good info, or talk you down from the ledge, you still come back to the same things time and time again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, what is up with that? Why has it not been changed? My personal belief is that there is an international conspiracy keeping the reporting at DCA lower than it should be so that snow weenies get upset and start a revolution over it.
