  • Singing out of tune in the 21st century

    Singing out of tune in the 21st century

    The Washington Redskins—not their name now of course— defeated the Broncos by the score of 42– 10, winning their second Super Bowl. The game was played on January 31, 1988

    After the game that year there was a special show premiering:

    THE WONDER YEARS would go on to be one of the greatest shows in the history of television and would run until 1993…

    But consider this.. the program premiered in 1988. The show featured nostalgia from 20 years previous in 1968. A crazy time of course

    And that would mean if the WONDER YEARS premiered today and the same time constraints applied, our ‘wonder years’ would be 2001…

    And to some of us who have been online since that year, this website included, it sure doesn’t seem like 20 years. Maybe it didn’t seem like that to those who turned 40 in 1988 either..

    The wonder years indeed. Boy do we wonder .. where has the time gone?

  • The blizzard of 2021?

    The blizzard of 2021?

    Major nor’easter to take shape, unleash snow, ice and wind for daysAccuWeather meteorologists break down the storm heading for the eastern U.S., where the most snow and ice will fall, how long it will last, and more with this multi-faceted storm.

    This may not the biggest storm EVER but could be one of the biggest in years? It is a long duration event and has a lot of coverage area on the map..

    Additionally there will be large areas above 18 inches of snow.. some locations that may even near 36 inches.. 

    There will be local blizzard conditions..

    In some lucky (unlucky?) places snow of varying intensities will actually continue for 3 days..

    “Additionally, confidence is growing that much of the Interstate 95 corridor from Washington D.C. northward will see several inches, with totals possibly exceeding a foot in some spots.”

    It would take more than 7 inches of snow for Washington, D.C., to get back on average pace for snow this winter. Thus far, only 0.3 of an inch of snow has fallen in the city. By Jan. 28, the normal snowfall is 7.5 inches in the nation’s capital.

    Farther to the north, New York City is close to its seasonal average to date with 10.6 inches. The upcoming storm has the potential to pad the Big Apple’s total for the winter of 2020-21 and perhaps double it.
