Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed it there and miss the weather and all the things we could do year round. I just needed to leave for greener pastures.

I think it's great you're excited, but I would maybe switch to NWS or WeatherUnderground. Unless you like being disappointed and surprised at the complete difference between the weather channel prediction and reality. Both are predicting mid 50's. Sunny, but nowhere close to 65-70

I guess we wont really know till Wednesday, but the weather channel has been more promising than the local news and others. I'm more optimistic than excited though about the weather report lol; its been too disappointing these past few days.

Yep. Assuming the weather isn't more of the same crap, I'll be at CnC as well, assuming nothing comes up.

readymix speaks the truth. weather channel is way off. We'll see today if we get a bunch more snow. If we do, the temps will be down even more throughout the week.

They are predicting 6 - 9 inches right now. Mostly late night stuff though, the temps in the cities would be prime for it this evening.

I usually call them spoilers.

Guys, I will update that event thread and reschedule it for later in the season. I'd rather go when it is guaranteed to stay warm all day and night.

Finally got my new desktop and hooked it all up today. Now to start the slow process of finding all the sites that I bookmarked.
