Since we go up to the mountains every year for Christmas, I can, with 100% certainty, say that I will see snow. Whether or not it snows that day will be up for debate.

Guys I think we should have permanent DST because it's too dark in winter afternoons. This is a totally unique opinion never been said on this forum  :pan:.

We should have more political discussions in the Amtrak thread.  I think this is needed.

Quote from: NWI_Irish96 on October 30, 2025, 05:36:22 PMThat makes much more sense.

It still leaves two-thirds of this coming winter in 2026, so we must still wonder why Rothman assumed 2025 instead...

I find it much better for my mental health not to wonder about Rothman.

I didn't assume 2025 instead.

Ah, correct, technically you assumed "Winter 2026" meant a year from now—even though there are twice as many winter months in 2026 this coming winter as there are a year from now.

The broadcast meteorologists will harp on and on about "meteorological winter" beginning on Dec. 1 despite the solstice not occurring until the 21st or 22nd.

I've always found it interesting that the worst winter weather happens after the days hours of sunlight begin to lengthen.
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Stop.
But wouldn't you like more sunlight after work? Just think about it, leave at 5 and see the bright sun  :bigass:

Try getting a 3-year-old ready for day care in the pitch black and see how much you want to have more time for energetic activities outside. :)

When I go out on day trips I'm usually done for the day sometime between 3-5 PM.  The actual "sightseeing part" usually is over even before that.  Right now I usually front dark hours in the morning and get home well before winter sundown.

Even when I go run in the morning no matter time of the year I try to get most of it over with before sunrise.

Don't be silly, that's why too far beyond modern technological capabilities.  Helicopter graphing hooks on the other hand though...

Are you insinuating that teleportation can be used to subvert posting into locked threads?  That seems like a potentially dangerous misuse of telepods.
