Good stuff. N'Olins is an awesome place, a unique and distinctive slice of America. A little over a year ago I visited for a couple days for the first time. I could easily spend a couple weeks there just pigging out on the cuisine and visiting a different jazz club each night.

You would probably have a great conversation with @rpenmanparker, a frequent visitor to this thread, who was born & raised in N'Olins.

This is the 10th anniversary of the time Philly got over 44" of snow within a week. The first storm was 28". The second one was around 16". I remember walking around in them. A couple blocks from my house two city trash trucks fitted with plows collided at a four-way intersection. One of them slid into a parked car. Crazy times.

This winter we have gotten a whopping 0.7" of an inch.

Mmmmm... bike chunks

I believe the rain has finished. Now it's this for the next couple days.



Does it ever really get warm in NY?
wut

We had more than that before Thanksgiving.

Sorry for the bike-related content. Meant "big."

<===Has never been to New Orleans. Sad.

Velo Vol 

Ha ha.


Are there Taco Bells in Mexico, seedsbelize ?

Does it get florid in Florida?

It has almost all fallen as rain. It's raining again today. It rained the last two nights. It's rained a lot this winter. But it has also been unseasonably warm. Every day of February has been above average. I grilled a fish outside Tuesday evening.

But a short polar plunge is coming. The low overnight Friday is supposed to be 15. People are going to freak. By Sunday or Monday it's supposed to be back in the 40s.

I love that kid.

Velo Vol 

Yes.

MoAlpha has been there many times. Huge scientific and clinical societies love it because it has tens of thousands of hotel rooms and a guy-jantic convention center. I had a really good time there once, shortly after Katrina, when grad students at Tulane blew their annual speaker budget on me and really showed me the city.

Where the hell did that jingle come from, and more importantly, what the hell does it mean???

Or was it just something to sing about on a rainy day?

"It's raining,
It's pouring,
The old man is snoring"

Is that the "well, duh - Minnesota." emoji?

Velo Vol 

I was trying to tie in your comment to roll my eyes at the fact that now that the rain is gone it's turning cold here.

Dangling emoji.

WhyFi

Ah. Well, I think that my bitter ******g cold is colder than your bitter ******g cold. Although, much to my boy's disappointment, they did not cancel school today - the cut-off is -35° wind chill, and it was only -29° with wind chill this morning.

you need to change your name to eskimo.

MoAlpha

Nasty!

Thanks for putting some heat back into the atmosphere before that air mass hits us.

We're at 15° right now. Cloudy, windy, and snowy.

Skies forecast to clear and drop to -6° by tomorrow morning.

It's these kind of days that make me realize how fortunate I am to have a garage to keep my truck in.

MoAlpha

Hate that. Just hate that. At least we no longer have a driveway, just lots of steps and a parking pad with retaining walls on three sides and lots of steps.

abshipp 

Slow day.

Everyone must be too cold to type.

bampilot06

just got the official word. Fun begins on wed. Week worth of ground and sim stuff then back to the normal grind. Got a lot of cover before then but I hope I can do century before than

abshipp 

Congrats!

I'm scheming about my first century this year too.

I'd like to do the Cheohala Challenge century this year.

I've done it probably eight times, but not since 2016.

I don't know if it's going to happen or not.
