Haha! Since we're talking about being old, I still remember hooking up to the old dial-up modem, hearing that iconic rythmic static sound and buzz as it connected! And of course you couldn't receive or make calls while online. Then DSL came, where you could do calls at the same time along with blazing 1-3 Mbps speeds! Revolutionary! 

Old? I remember when I used to call the number 361-7171 or 361-1212 to find out if it was cold enough to snow back in 1976. In Dale City. Used to listen to the Weather Radio hoping for snow. The only thing we had was the weather report on the TV in the evening. Man we are fracking SPOILED ROTTEN today!

Remember the Washington Post delivery with the weather page and you saw the snow X’s dotted on the maps? We lived and died by those X’s

Yep! I remember getting my first thermometer and keeping weather readings. I used to record the barometric pressure every five minutes all evening! And record the temp falling after a major front hoping for some snow! I had an EPIC supply of hopium all the time when I was a teen. I was even taking weather readings in Gar Field High in 1979! I got sent to the Main Office for drawing cross sections of cold fronts and warm fronts in class! Instead of doing my assignments. This was how I got to be called Weatherman in high school lmao.

Slept with weather radio on always hoping to hear the beeping signals when they announced a storm warning.  I called Balto. weather 936-1212 several times a day
