OT: Bomb Cyclone - newguy - 12-22-2022

here's to those Cardboarders who don't live in California.
hope you all stay warm.

thanks new guy. Just relocated back East and loving it but winter? nah.

When you look at the forecast and it goes from 54 to 24 in 12 hours, you know it's gonna suck. Here in Central CT, it's suppose to rain 2 inches while in the 40s-50s, then it's gonna stop and drop into the teens. Any water that doesn't dry up will freeze, making walking outside treacherous. The power company called warning about high winds and possible power outages due to a wind advisory from 1am to 7am, for 20 mph with gusts to 50. There are few things worse than losing power in a cold climate so I'm just praying to the weather gods to keep the power on, grateful some rogue assholes aren't bombing the power infrastructure like in Ukraine. Ugh...

A few decades ago, I used to live back east like you guys (Laurel Maryland to be exact). I worked at an army post, and the parking/public transit situation was a joke. It normally took 15 minutes to walk from my car to the outer door of the building.

One morning, it got down to 1 degree Fahrenheit. I ran.

There are good reasons I never moved back to Wisconsin after I graduated from Stanford… This is the main one.

Similar for me, though weather wasn't really the main reason. At least it's a big reason I won't move back to Milwaukee to retire.

I bet the Trojan and Bruin athletes are paying attention.

Heading into it tomorrow, well the outskirts of it, anyway. Not too cold, only down to 11F

To make this relevant to sports...

somehow i get the feeling he didn't cheerfully volunteer for that segment.

Uh oh, he did too good a job.
I can see him being told to do it again because the ratings improved.

Drove up to Indiana today, not too bad. (Highly regional etc etc)

RE: OT: Bomb Cyclone - Phogge - 12-22-2022

So far so good in The Berkshires. Supposed to rain like hell tomorrow but still going shopping in Great Barrington.

RE: OT: Bomb Cyclone - Beeg_Dawg - 12-22-2022

Solid gold! LMAO....

RE: OT: Bomb Cyclone - Phogge - 12-23-2022

Now it’s snowing like hell in the Berkshires. Wild.

RE: OT: Bomb Cyclone - DaBears17 - 12-23-2022

Lots of wind and a fair amount of rain in Hartford.

Given the traction, my bet is it helped his career. I mean, he’s a sports reporter in Waterloo, Iowa. It ain’t like he was at the top.

Up here in the Seattle area we have a bit of a snowscape. And speaking of the midwest, some people from there think that because they've driven on icy conditions there they can handle this with no problem. Here's somebody who discovered otherwise:

Bomb Cyclone

Sounds like perfect name for:

A Race Horse
Professional Snow Boarder
An Al Davis QB
An overactive 18-month-old Labrador Retriever
One's Mother-in-Law
