OT: Hurricanes Lounge XLVI: Really, It's All About Beer and Bojangles

That's nice, my dog, a big fluffy Belgian Shepard who loves the cold, is getting very old, that he'll have one last snow to frolic around in is comforting

EDIT: I saw @Boom Boom Apathy 's response, if this snow doesn't happen I'm holding you personally responsible for scaring the snow away

People have called me a wet blanket in the past on this board. If it gets cold enough, it will be a snow blanket.

What if it's freezing rain or sleet?

Just change your userid to minisoldr. You should be fine.

I... may actually need to set up an account or two with that name. What a beautiful trolling opportunity.

Then it clearly hasn't gotten cold enough.

It’s different because guns can be used to commit violent crime and steak cannot.

Tell that to Dracula.

I always forget how big animals are in real life compared to how they’re typically portrayed

Look at that thing compared to the Jeep next to it.

Perspective.


Moose are very big. Saw one jump over the hood of my father’s car while we were driving through the White Mountains. But that picture is not a good example because of perspective. No moose is THAT big.

I mean, it’s not just a picture. There’s a video right above it. That moose is definitely bigger than the car of the guy recording the video.

From WRAL:

If you see posts on social media saying, “The Euro is showing this a week out” or “the GFS is showing this on January 7th,” take that with a HUGE grain of salt. Forecast modeling has come a long way, but it’s not going to give you an accurate result on snow totals more than a week out. That’s just fantasy.

For instance, the European forecast model has a full run of data that comes out twice a day.

Sunday's 12Z run showed 5” of snow in Raleigh through January 7th. Its previous run showed not a single flake. Monday morning’s run showed no snow again.

Yepp, all about the trends. Don’t think it will get cold enough and like they said, the warm nose will get you everytime. NOSNOWFORYOURDU

More likely

lol, it’s going to be a long day. My wife won her Fantasy Super Bowl . I’m to bring her “the finest muffins and bagels “ as she drinks from the keg of glory.

Best of luck. I tried something similar, but found myself so bored without that interaction, even if it’s just online discussion. But I’ve got no willpower, so you’ll probably be fine.

Thanks. I get where you are coming from. My kids, who are closer to your age have a lot more of their social interaction online than I do. Even for friends they have that are more local, there's much more online interaction.

Today is my last day on here for a while so won't spend it on this. It has nothing to do with this discussion, the Canes or any posters. Just a New Years resolution to focus on some other things in life and remove myself from all Social Media for a while.

My wife and I adopted a resolution 20 years ago and we are still sticking with it.


1080p is all we need; 4K is overkill for our eyes.
