The Official 2/12 - 2/13 Storm Discussion Thread

[Greg]

Okay, maybe not quite, but the GFS model is indicating some activity the day before, i.e. next Wednesday!

Speculate here.

 

[Paul]

I'll wait until drjeff weighs-in.

 

[bvibert]

That would be effin sweet!

 

[drjeff]

I'll wait until drjeff weighs-in.

Like I said, I used up all my weather prognostic mojo with the 2/10 one

But considering that a V-Day storm would give me a good excuse to cancel the rediculously over priced dinner I was going to take my wife to, I say GAME ON!

 

[Warp Daddy]

Take her skiing instead

 

[Paul]

Take her skiing instead

Don't mind if I do...



um... MY wife, not Jeff's. NTTAWWT

 

[drjeff]

Since V-Day is somewhat of a significant anniversary date for us (1st date) and this marks the 15th anniversary of that monumentous occasion for us, she's much more likely to want that snazzy dinner at The Mohegan Sun than a little Wawa evening session :roll:

Thanks for the clarification

My wife usually insists on going to Mohegan.... and we don't gamble.

Hhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........................

Which feedbag do you hit there? My vote usually goes to Bubba's (VETO) My wife likes Jasper White's. Once we went to that fancy pants one behind the waterfall. It was pretty-good, but gave me a case of the squirts.

We're boooked at the "squirter", Tuscany behind the waterfall. Same thing with us, we don't gamble, but will usually head there 4 or 5 times a year for a nice meal away from the kids. I'll be curious to see what Foxwoods answer to the entire "Mohegan Experience" is when their MGM addition opens up in mid-May.

If it was purely upto me next week we'd eat at Michael Jordans, but I'd guarentee to get in trouble from trying to watch various sporting events there

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

speaking of Mohegan...I'm heading up there April 19 (sat night) anyone have a comp room?? or Presidential Suite??

When you just use The Sun for eating purposes only, they're not comping too many rooms

Holy crap I need a gift.

It's okay if you're late with it... the goat won't know the difference.

[nelsapbm]

Winter storm watches have been posted for all of Vermont....snow to begin tomorrow evening. Woohoo!

Some areas actually picked up quite a few inches yesterday as the squalls came through. What a great winter so far.

 

[severine]

That's more forethought than most guys give.

I was commended by the lady at the florist when I stopped by to place my order last week...

Sadly, I was going to order a couple more things online... and my debit card number was apparently stolen... (Either that or I got WICKED drunk and ordered almost $1,700 of random stuff online that I'd never buy normally)...

Yeah... kinda put a damper on my weekend.

That would have been one hell of a drinking episode! :lol:

 

[BLESS]

I'll be at In Jackson......wanted to ski Wildcat, but have free tix to Attitash, so, I guess It's weds & thurs @ Attitash for me....It looks like they'r gonna be in the 5-8 inch range on weds, SWEET.

Looks probable so I upgraded the thread to "official" Winter Storm Watch for SoVT:
