Nothing here yet. Today is ARMY vs. NAVY. There is a good chance it's played in a snow storm. I did a quick Christmas light decorating last night.

Did you know that they run a ball from west point to philly. or Annapolis to philly. One year while driving up Rt 202 in Jersey i saw a military convoy that would make you think all hell broke out. There was some poor cadet jogging alongside the road with a football under his arm. I think it's brought to the game by the last losing team.

Very cool, never knew that. At a time when so many great traditions are falling by the wayside it's great that this remains. A beacon of light compared to the money-saturated, scandal-plagued fiasco known as the BCS.

It’s been snowing for 12 hours at a slow pace. Maybe we have an optimistic 3 inches .

That lighted shrubbery is a wonderful, welcoming gesture toward your neighbors, Robert. And with that covering of fresh-fallen snow, it all looks beautiful and friendly. Really, really, nice, sir.

Measured last night around 2200...a bit less than four inches. I agree Murph, things look great under some snow:

Was in Richmond and it started snowing Fri afternoon through the evening and into the next day - not a lot ~3" total maybe as it mixed in with rain ever so often, but the temps were heading down so I headed home. Not much of anything as we headed North and then we hit is again a bit South of DC and then thn we were in snow all the way home from there. Snowed into the evening. Watched the Army-Navy game that was in the snow in Philly......good place to watch it - the recliner.
What if lollipops moaned every time we licked them?

Speaking of model trains and the weather...

What's your interpretation of the effect I was intending with what I did to this fencing? Did I succeed? :D

That opening focuses your eye towards those riders. Without it they would be lost in the woods. Or your trying to let NY state police mounted riders now where the NY./Canada boarder is. :lol: :lol:

That was part of the purpose, for sure. Good job, Robert!
