I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.
Re: The snow is getting deeper!
Yeah, I'm hoping for some big April and May dumps, the air quality and fire reach last summer and fall were depressing.Scott P wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 11:01 pmSummer fires are worse.

Spot on, Dave.
He doesn't deserve nor has earned the privilege to stay on this site, imo.

Re: The snow is getting deeper!
Alec, correct, we didn't have a monsoon last year, just one facet of climate change and that much of Colorado is facing desertification.
But the months in which the state usually receives the most precipitation overall (rain at low elevations, snow at higher ones, which is crucial to the water table among other things) are: May, April, July, and March. Notice that all but one of those are in spring. It barely snowed in April and May last year. The absent monsoon wouldn't have been nearly as problematic if the spring months had been wetter.

Re: The snow is getting deeper!
correct me if i'm wrong, but shouldn't there be two t's in dipshittery? otherwise the i would be long, and when there's already dipshittery you don't want to add confusion!
Re: The snow is getting deeper!
Dave,
Great graphic! Maybe add in a phase somewhere for messging other members and insulting their choices, sexual preferences, saying someday soon his peak list will be better than theirs, and leaving vaguely threatening to promises to "deal with you if I see you."

Re: The snow is getting deeper!
I vote for Dipshittery. Will alter nicely as Dipshittedness, as needed. Either way Dave B’s diagram is hysterical... and right on.
