The weather where you are?

The expected wintry mix heading toward Northeast PA has lost some of its steam, mainly because of the temps being too warm for anything significant to materialize. With highs forecasted in the mid-upper 40's tomorrow with clear skies and light winds, at least one more round of golf in 2016 looks somewhat promising.

You folks are crazy for playing in those temperatures! :-)

It helps that I'm not paying out of pocket because of my membership. Otherwise I would probably be a lot more finicky about the weather, especially considering I'm generally averaging 90-100 rounds per year and can pretty much play whenever during the season.

But having lived in the Northeast for going on 17 years now, I've learned that you either tolerate being uncomfortable and take advantage of the ability to get out or you simply put the clubs away from mid-December through til about mid-April. A lot of guys do, but I need to get out of the house. I'm very familiar with seasonal depression, and staying snowed-in during bad winters sure doesn't help!

Here on Hilton Head, SC it's in the 60's and cloudy. Only about 2/3 of our courses have reopened since the hurricane, so the open ones are really crowded.

Didn't play today. Took the dogs out last night and the ground was covered with slush, although it had melted shortly after the sun came up this morning. Too muddy. Cart-path only. Plantar Fasciitis.

Oh well.

I played Eagles Point on my way back from the Florida, not on HHI of course but close enough to be affected by the hurricane. Very nice shape and the crew did a heck of a job to remove a bunch of trees!

Temp 25. Windchill 5. (21mph wind)

Snow for this weekend.

Temps in the mid/lower teens next week.

FML!

I live in a townhouse, which is perfect for me and the wife and two dogs. That's the only reason I don't already own a billiard table... not enough room.

I played a lot back in my military days, when I lived in the barracks. Bought a custom stick for $200 (back in '88) which back then was a lot of money, at least for a guy who only cleared 800 bucks a month. I got pretty good, at least good enough to win more money than I lost anyway. I've not played in years, but could easily get back into it if I had a room big enough to put a table. I've always found it to be a very enjoyable game.

I never was very good. When I was in high school I would go to the back of the pool hall because all the good sticks took the first half dozen tables. A lot of guys came back to play me because we played for time not for money. Loser pays for the table. The only time I played well was when our fast pitch softball league had a banquet. They had a pool table there and all these guys were pretty good. Winner keeps playing. Finally got my turn, the game was 8 ball. I broke and ran the table. Put the stick down and called it a night. Quit while I was ahead.

No golf for quite a while... 10 degrees and expecting around 5" of snow tomorrow. The past 3-4 days saw wind from 30-45 mph in our area. Next week's forecast is calling for high temps in the single digits and lows overnight in the minus single digits. It will normally get colder yet through about the end of January. I can remember a week in the late 1960's when it reached minus 30 or lower every night. We don't see that anymore though (global warming??). Luckily we have seldom seen minus 20's in the past 5 years.

Oh crap it's going to be 63* a week from Sunday. I hope you're getting your insulated underwear ready.

Light dusting of snow on the ground in the northern parts of the Lehigh Valley this afternoon. Cold, windy, real-feels of 25º for the afternoons this weekend.

I guess I'll be watching the Army vs Navy game tomorrow.

Go Army!

Too damn cold to have the door up. I'm a officially a *****!
