Funny that’s what some were saying after Atlantic City’s polar bear plunge yesterday. Burr balls

Did you omit a word before Burr Balls?

Pro'ly "shrinkage" and maybe even "retreat" ?

It's 10 deg here in Portsmouth Va, no wind. My right eye starts to water below 50 degrees (hard to hit a golfball) but I told myself last year I wouldn't EVER play again when it got below 50.

All it means is I get to spend more time in the layout room

SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, that should start the stampede to the stores for milk, bread, and toilet paper,

I think this one is supposed to miss us here in central Maryland and south-central PA. Works for me.

..."supposed to"...... We've heard that one before,

Yup, I keep falling for the prognostications. Speaking of which, I'm getting ready to head to the store for milk, bread and TP...

TV News today had a photo of the "Great Falls" in Paterson, NJ, showing that they were totally frozen solid. top to bottom.

I remember, several years ago, when I visited The Falls, for the first time, in the dead-of-Winter, I had walked up to one of their top edges, which was alongside the old Hinchcliff Stadium, where the ice and snow had expanded their accumulation, from and right up to and over the edge of The Falls. I began to slide down the slope, so I sat down, thinking that might stop me and that I could just crawl away. Nope. My slide toward the edge just got faster. Prone, by then, on my back, more or less, I began to kick at and into (my hopeful goal) the sloped ice shelf with the heels of my boots. Fortunately, the boots were Timberlines, so the heels were tough. They managed to penetrate the ice just as I got to the very edge. I then used the line of kick-in notches made by my efforts while sliding to the edge of the Falls, as places for my hands to grasp and for the toes of my boots to grab inward, since I was on my belly by then. Gradually, and with no small effort, I made it some distance from the edge and off to the left side, nearest the roadway, and on my way to freedom.

I never went back to the Falls for anther look at it frozen again.

NOAA has updated their forecast to now include north-central Maryland, dammit. Not predicting much in the way of accumulation thankfully (although any accumulation at such low temps should yield entertaining conditions).

No, no. Not global warming, climate change.
