The 32nd Random TPBM Chat Thread Featuring Eric, the Armchair Mod Quarterback

We are in the midst of the storm, supposed to go till 11 ish tomorrow, I'm betting we;ll get about 9 inches.

I am cought up but to tired to comment just yet. Dan, great job, loved the series, look forward to the next.
Taking a break here, trying to eat something before I have to go back out.. I just realized I haven't eaten since breakfast and I feel like heck.
I am down two or three trucks but getting it done for the most part.
*waves*

Plow just made its third or fourth pass through here . . . When I headed out to restock the bird feeder, even with snowshoes I sank in 15-20" by the house (extra depth from the eaves, I think).

No dot pictures yet. I have only had time to take a few and I don't have the energy to mess with them right now.

It is a solid 16" most places Jon and the news reported over here near Burtonsville has 22"

Like real snow shoes that allow you to walk on top or shoes you wear out in the snow whilst building a snowman? That is plenty of snow, is it the heavy stuff?

I am glad you are able to get your work done for the most part.

I didn't know if you guys would want to see the roaster (this isn't my normal setup...I'm usually roasting in the garage but...it's the same roaster etct) Nothing artistic...just quick snaps.

the roaster, the coffee

Cool, Lisa! I have wondered what the process looked like


*closes 1 of 2 catch up tabs* One down, one to go.

Cool shots Jenn.
But why would you need a plow for the little snow that is on that street? It looks wet, is it likely to melt fairly soon? Great snowball fighting stuff.

Thanks Jim... Ummmm I live in the mountains... and I fancy NOT tearing down the street signs at the bottoms of the hills... At the moment, I would need to shovel out my van... but the mountains are not the place to mess with the snow...

Real snowshoes - slightly undersized as their primary purpose is packing down dog runs. It's fairly light, but packs nicely; certainly not a wet heavy snow.

Dan, the odd 'toon and such over the next bunch of months would suit my fancy just great. Just sayin'.

That ^^

Holy crap.

Not seen a flake here, yet. Not predicted to hit til about midnight or so, then up to 12" by tomorrow. High wind warnings, too.
Here high winds warnings are 40 mph...where I come from that is a slight breeze

Becky how did you size your photos for the calendar? It's cutting off part of my pics.

Using a 4 x 6 crop ratio in LR works for most the layout templates and then move the picture in the template frame.

For full size pictures you'll need to enter a crop ratio for the size of the calendar i.e. 8.5 X 11. Depending on the shot, you may still loose some of the image unless you add a border to the shot to allow for the crop.

Wonderful Series Dan. I was held in suspense for most of it (and thanks for giving away my work secret)

WOW that is alot of drawing.

Zane, hope you get some rest soon.

Break over - see you later.

Getting quiet here . . . usually y'all seem to burn up the lines as the end of a thread approaches.

I thought you were referring to the residential roads, where traffic is slower. You would not have fun here, the street we live on is about 6-8" thick of hardpacked snow and ice. I could not afford the taxes if they were to clean the snow out here.
