Think of it like a sacrifice bunt in baseball.

Forgive me, I'm a bit of a baseball nerd, but you had me until this. Bunting is the worst thing you can intentionally do in baseball.

Here's R/S line on the high resolution Canuck for the beginning of the storm. This is only 24 hours out so it's before the heavy precip arrives, but at least it gives an idea before the start.

Finally a map I can actually see the states on

I actually like bunting. Squeeze plays are awesome. Yes I am a baseball geek as well.

What we cannot forget is that this line will will move back and forth, creating for mushy snow.

95 times out of 100, yes...

But like every rule, it has exceptions.

I.e. Tied, Bottom of the 9th, runner on third, 0 or 1 out with a guy who basically only ever strikes out at the plate...

But then again, that's why I don't watch NL ball.

*ducks*

The bunt in fast pitch softball is always great. I used to do it all time back when I was playing the Maple City League in the Burg. Place right between the pithcer and first base charging and second base covering first. Bang. A bunt for a double.


Or the fake bunt, with the hands just choked up and swing away in a bunt stance. I have used that one too.

I find it hard to believe a baseball nerd would say such a thing. The sacrifice bunt is a thing of beauty, and (at least IMO) bunting is becoming a lost art in the age of "home runs earn me millions".

Careful, you're confusing nerd with nostalgist.

Outs are the most important thing in baseball. You only get 27 of them per game. Why would you want to waste 1 of them on something that succeeds 50% of the time (if you're good at it)?

Not counting mountain magic which always contributes to the total!!!

Isn't Burke in that little 8" band near St Johnsbury ...

 

[from_the_NEK]

Fortunately no . It is right on the edge of that 15-20" blob above the 8" label.
