Hi
Hi, Sean:
How have you been? I like your weather map. I wish they would put stuff like that on the Weather Channel...lol. I have been out of the country for most of January. I went to Central America to look at some little known Mayan ruins in hard to get to places (hiking through jungles and climing mountains). It was a great trip but I am glad to be back and on the pool tables. I shot one game of 9-ball in Guatemala with a house cue with no tip! One of the cues had the ferrel held on with masking tape. It was a farce. The cueball would completely change directions when it slowed to a stop...lol. But I did shoot pool in Guatemala. We also went through the Panama Canal, visited El Salvador, Honduras and Belize before returning to the states.

This explains it
Pool players from the North East have always been known for
their drift sense.

Hi Cuebuddy!
Yep, unless you're from Michigan's upper peninsula or very near the Great Lakes area, midwesterners/westerners usually have an "eye-closing" learning experience when they experience the wrath of a good Nor'easter for the first time. When you step outside, your eyes tear, the tears flash-freeze right on your face, and the subsequent whincing you do when this happens causes the skin to crack.
That humid, icy wind just CUTS right through you like a chainsaw! Give me nine below any day, without this damn humidity and wind. "Calgon, take me away!"

P.S.: Your oldest's in Ithaca these days? Cornell University? Ithaca College?

You do have a way with words! He is @ Cornell and it is a lot of work. He has some very challenging classes but there is no end to the work in the food science industry. I cant wait to see Ithaca......in the summer:wink:.

Hi everyone.Like the weather map. I am in the totally screwed section on the map.Too much shoveling and not enough time to drink and play.
I, too, am in the totally screwed section of your wonderful map. :grin-square:
The day before yesterday, I had three guys on my roof getting rid of the nearly three feet of snow that was up there in advance of this storm.
I have so much ice in the gutters and backing up under the shingles that water has encroached into my house making it down into my rec room. The ceiling tiles just next to my GC1 are wet.
Hence the reason for the crew on the roof.
They brought a tool called "Dragon's Breath", basically a flame thrower attached to a 20lb propane tank like for a bbq grill. It was impressive but not equal to the task of removing the ice dam where in some spots the ice is almost 18" thick.
On the news at noon they reported three building collapses here in CT due to the weight of snow and ice on the roofs.
Hurry up springtime...
