I gotta think this is the case. They have to move or postpone it, right?

Yes d4rk, thanks. That's the one good thing is that we still have a couple days before worrying about the flooding (and plenty of free time to prepare beforehand). I'm so thankful (and somewhat surprised) that the power has stayed on for the vast majority of people so far. We are very lucky in that respect. Thanks for everyone's concern and suggestions.

So far my road is impassible, but even if I could get out and find a store that is open I'm sure those are all sold out already. I will try though. My pump is only one year old. My biggest concern is if it can keep up with the deluge without remaining constantly on and burning the motor out. Also, my road is a small loop, with no thru-traffic, so I'm fully expecting to be one of the last ones plowed out (which is totally understandable I guess). Still cannot see my neighbor's house. When is this f*cker gonna shift south again PLEASE?

I live 5 minutes from the Ralph. I swear to god if they hold this game here on Sunday and divert those precious resources (especially police) away from me and my neighbors I will NEVER watch another NFL game and I truly mean it.

No flood insurance, as my backyard slants downward and there is virtually no chance of a traditional flood-type scenario. I never envisioned a "perfect-storm" scenario such as what is happening now. I take responsibility for that. We did survive the October Surprise melting event which gives me some hope. Stay safe everybody.

I'm in Hamburg, getting absolutely hammered again. Wife and I spent two hours up on our roof last night and got maybe 15% of the snow off. It was only(!) about 2 feet deep on the windward side, but around 4 feet on the leeward side. Very heavy and packed, so it was slow going. I'm glad we got some of it off at least, especially the large masses overhanging the edges. Today I shoveled a trench from the front of our house to the road, just to give the rain/melt-runoff a place to go this weekend. My large maple tree in my backyard dropped all of its leaves on Monday (it's always the last one in the neighborhood) so my gutters are full of leaves and ice. I'm so ######!ng scared of what's going to happen this weekend. We have a split level so my finished basement is completely subterranean and our TV room is half-subterranean. My sump-pump runs quite a bit even during a normal rainfall/melt, so I can't see how it's going to hold up during this coming sh!tshow. FFS, I reeeealy don't want to see/hear anybody else say that this is even remotely awesome and they're sad they aren't here. Please.

Pretty badass photo from plane over the city looking south:

Foot and a half overnight in Hamburg and still getting hammered. Maybe another foot today. Hope everybody in the southtowns is hunkered down. And winter doesn't actually start for another 5 weeks :doh:

And don't forget Ryan Miller's plagiocephaly-induced eye asymmetry: http://forums.sabrespace.com/topic/16615-revisiting-ryan-millers-eyes/

I've tried many times, but it just gets so damn itchy it drives me nuts and I always bail.

I'd say there is literally 0% chance Marrone gets canned until we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. If/when that happens, Schwartz would be almost a lock for interim head coach, IMO.

I just chuckled to myself, picturing somebody reading this who joined SabreSpace recently and doesn't know the backstory :lol: :lol: :lol:

Congrats, Tank. Let us know how it goes.

This is exactly how I approached last year, and I'll approach this year with the same attitude. Great to finally see a GDT here.

I love Credit Karma. They can also help you search and find the best CC deals based on criteria you specify (such as low balance transfer rates and such). Such a useful site, and completely free.

Congrats on the weight loss, gents. The benefits are so worth the effort. My contribution to this thread: I'm hooked on the new Ryan Adams album in a big way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmglUwgtHxs

I fully expect him to regain his Flyers form and be a Sabre-killer for years to come. He'll probably score a playoff-series-winning goal against us once we finally return to the post-season. Because...Buffalo. :(

Godspeed, sir.

I think I ate a big Chipotle burrito before mine - you're gonna be really, really hungry as it is so I would definitely not start early. There's no real reason to, plus you're just asking for a longer period of "irritation" below the equator. It's really unfortunate that we've never adopted the bidet concept here in the USA, I could see how that would help immensely. So what time do you actually start?

Congrats, Ink.

"Roysie was here", hahaha :-)

I love the city of Buffalo and our sports teams, but holy Sh!t this is hilarious: http://deadspin.com/why-your-team-sucks-2014-buffalo-bills-1628452314

What would be REALLY awesome but would never happen is if there were 16 teams in the US and 16 teams in Canada, and they divided the conferences that way also. So every Cup final would be US vs. Canada. Where can I sign up for that?

That belongs in the Awesome thread. :lol:

Yeah my wife is an RN at Roswell and they do the exact same thing :thumbsup:
