That feeling when a storm prepares to move in and your town’s temperature is just above freezing, but the forecast says the temperature will dip well below freezing...after the storm leaves ?. It’s been 7 years without snow. It’d be nice to get some.

We’re getting a fricken bomb cyclone. We all laughed at this storm earlier in SoCal, but now it’s getting serious. There’s going to be a lot of places breaking single day rainfall records. Thankfully my town improved our drainage a few years back. The mountains are 50-70mph winds with several feet of snow (there’s a real blizzard), and the rest of us are getting hurricane force winds and rain apparently. I have to walk to university tomorrow, not looking forward to it ?. The looming prospect of snow is a very nice touch though.

Our forecast calls for snow in a few hours!!! It hasn’t snowed in my town since 2014 and 2012 (and before that 2002). I’m going to so, so, so depressed when it doesn’t actually snow (the temperature is supposed to be just above freezing, but that will be enough for it snow supposedly). Doing some snow dances before I go to sleep tonight :banana:. I’m not a man of prayer, but I may just offer one up for snow ❄️ :fingers:

I officially hate the National Weather Service. Thanksgiving sucks so far.

I love the National Weather Service. It’s a White Thanksgiving. I’m thankful for the earliest snow my towns ever seen. It’s been 7 years since it last snowed. E88F43AC-FCFA-4A23-8C5C-99CD49BDD8C4.jpeg

Favorite day of the year :wub:. We got between 3 and 4 inches on the valley floor, 1 foot in the smaller hills, and 2 - 3 feet in the mountains. Got the opportunity to tobogganing. Here’s a few pictures from around the house:

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
