    Snowpocalypse

    Here's a Percent of Normal Precipitation map for the Canada to Kansas part of the country. At this point, it hasn't been as dry as one might think. My pond in the backyard has filled and spilled already this year.

    Snowpocalypse

    It doesn't take a genius to expect a spring snow or rain event in late March or early April. After Jan and Feb, monthly precip totals do nothing but go up, so using anything 90 days out to say it was expected because of XXX is fairly ridiculous. It's kind of like saying "90 days after a spring...

    Snowpocalypse

    Not to be a Debbie Downer, but don't look at the backend of the models for next weekend. Too far out for much certainty, but thus far it looks like a "rinse and repeat" of this week.

    Chrysler Turbine Car

    Yep, I remember reading about that one as a kid. I think it was soon eliminated via rule changes. https://www.speedsport.com/other-series/racing-history/milestone-moments-the-turbine-powered-indy-car/

    Snowpocalypse

    I come to social media sites like NDA to get my estimates for ice thickness because there are no official estimates or measurements of ice thickness. There are similarities between the two, but also some notable differences. Snow is actually great insulation, so early heavy snows like the...

    Snowpocalypse

    Frost depth has a fair number of variables. How bare is the ground? Has it been tilled? How wet or dry is the soil compared to normal? Have you had deep snow cover, or has it been near nothing this winter? When your area gets to 20+ degrees, is it sunny or cloudy? Is the referenced site in...

    Tree row rehabilitation?

    Oddly, I would have guessed much higher. Both given the cost of an eight foot replacement, and current wages.

    Tree row rehabilitation?

    On that list, there's a big drawback to cedars if you enjoy berries like juneberries. Cedar trees are a carrier of Cedar-Apple rust, a type of fungus. The juneberry plants look fine, fruit out nicely, and then the fruit dries up into little pieces of gravel right before you're ready to...

    Bis to lose boat ramp

    I am going to hazard a guess they were mostly seeking grants through the city? Reason I ask (not specifically to you, Davey) is because the most common disqualifier for using something as matching money in a grant request is to try and double-dip from the same group of taxpayers. In this case...

    Remington moving to GA

    Uggh, having spent a summer in nearby Alabama, no way would I prefer that over upper NY's weather. So miserably humid the buildings would sweat.

    ND State Class A &B

    So you want to put Dakota Adventist Academy with a grade 9-12 student population in the mid 30s in the same league as BHS with over 1,100 kids? :unsure:

    Remington moving to GA

    I think the term you are looking for is "business climate". Dyslexia?

    ND State Class A &B

    Right, people are missing the obvious when it comes to why the private schools tend to do well in sports. Since their parents are well off enough to afford tuition on top of the other child raising expenses, the kids don't generally have to work in HS. Instead, they are allowed to sign up for...

    ND State Class A &B

    It has none. My kid is a senior and to my knowledge, pretty much every kid on the team with the exception of the Quam kid started at Shiloh in the kindergarten through third grade as is the case with Wilkinson. There are no athletic scholarships at Shiloh. Now will come the endless list of...

    ND State Class A &B

    What, you think they should start holding class in the parking lot? It's a nice school and all, but it still has facility limitations.
