Happy Birthday, Naaman!

All you can eat crab legs with DFH 60 minute IPA on draft. Not a bad after work meal.

Major bummer.

Today was beautiful, for this time of year anyway. Sunny, highs in the mid to upper 40s, no more than a light wind. So my wife and I dropped the kids at my parents house and went skiing. That part of snow I don't mind one bit.

Happy Birthday, Dan!!

We've officially crossed over to the dark side - I just drove through a thunderstorm complete with blinding rain. Everything is a huge mess.

Happy Birthday!

Sorry Dan. I'd bet there's somewhere near a solid 3' of snow over my entire yard at this point with drifts that are another 12" or so deeper. Buildings at work are starting to have major issues as well due to the combination of snow and ice. We had to evacuate one office earlier today and I expect to make the call on an entire facility tomorrow. If we the rain that they are predicting on Friday it could get very ugly.

Fuck me, we got another 3" this afternoon.

Happy Birthday, Colin!

Ouch Marshal. The forecasters here got it wrong. 4-8 turned into a solid 10 which just took an hour and a half to clear off of the driveway. The snow banks are about as high as I can remember seeing them considering that we haven't had a single storm in excess of 12" that I can remember. Just a ton of midsized storms. I shot a little video while I was out there, just for kicks and I'll post it later if I can get it whipped into shape so that my southern and western lawyers can enjoy it.

Body geometry is decidedly different on the trainer.

Happy Birthday, Steve!!

on/off

Yeah, we've got another 3-6" or so in the forecast tomorrow and it's bordering on depressing. We're paying big time for some recent, very mild winters I guess. The only hope is that this means that we might have something approaching a normal spring and not go from freezing to frying overnight. And when did they start naming winter storms? That has to be the lamest weather-related thing they've come up with in a long while. Next thing you know every time in rains in the summer it'll be "SUMMER STORM JOEY JO JO" or some bs. Good grief.

Way to go, Raffy. When time permits I'll definitely donate again this year. I'm quite jealous that you've not only been able train already but that you're able to ride in an event in March.

We got another 3 or so inches last night. Pretty hard to tell with the 20+mph winds that were blowing most of the time and continued through the morning. The depths in the driveway ranged from bare pavement to 12" deep. Tomorrow is supposed to be pretty fracking nasty too. Highs in the single digits and wind chills in the double-digit below 0 category.

Happy Birthday, Ed!

I'm with Ari, there is very little point in "fixing" this amp. You'd likely invest far more than this is worth in fixing it and still be left with a turd with a presumably nicer transformer.

The first four weeks that Andrew went to daycare he came home with a black eye or head wound of some sort. So I'm with Dan, he'll never remember it and you shouldn't sweat it.

I woke up to half as much snow as we had when I went to bed. It pretty much rained all night making cleanup this morning a bit of a chore. And the driveway is covered in a layer of slush because the snow got so saturated over night. It's always a toss-up as to whether or not to blow the snow before the rain or after.

Happy birthday, penguin man.

I'd actually defer to CJ. I think Dan is looking for a freebie and I'm working on that.

The forecast overnight here is for continued snow/wintery-mix so there's no point in clearing the driveway at this point. Might as well leave the snow there to soak up any rain/ice so that the driveway is that much less of a skating rink tomorrow morning. I expect that there will be a delayed opening for school as it isn't really supposed to wind down until 5/6am. We've gotten about 8" of pretty heavy, wet snow so far.

Time for Mr. Plow?
