We got about 8". What sucks for me is that directly to the south of my house is a small mountain so this time of year we get minimal direct sunlight on the house and driveway. There's still 2-3" of sleet underneath this snow. Gonna take a serious warm spell for it to clear off. My small plow had nothing for all that sleet. The overall driveway is almost half a mile long. I'm parking the Land Cruiser down by the pond to avoid having to drive uo the last 75 yards or so to the house which is the steepest part. That's probably gonna be the status quo for the foreseeable future. I need a stretch of days in the 50s with night time temps that aren't getting below freezing.

In NYC the snow from last week is still piled up on the curbs 2-3 feet high, It's not getting above freezing until mid Feb and what does melt will freeze at night lol. When all that accumulation finally melts for real it's another nightmare altogether with flooding and people's roofs leaking.

I'm in the same boat except for the sleet.  I could fire up the tractor and hook up the box blade to clear the driveway, except I know the state road isn't plowed or salted either, so it makes no sense to really do anything at this point except wait for warmer weather which it looks like  wont happen till Tuesday at the earliest.  Probably be mid week or later before I'm able to go anywhere.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
