True, but it still sucks.

Does all this precipitation make for delayed course openings?

On the bright side, I'm not working today. Not sure about tomorrow, will see how much shoveling I have to do.

The recent snows were heavier, more water. Gotta protect the back - shovel carefully.

I just went out and shoveled around the vehicles, the wet snow has been melting and making a pond beside the cars.  Had to make a path for the water to drain away.  It was almost up over my shoes.

Metro NYC, on the whole, this winter hasn't been too bad in terms of snow and low temps, other areas (Erie, cough cough) might say otherwise.

A long standing tradition around here is the St. Patrick's Day blizzard! This wasn't exactly that, 5" of snow here, but some counties south of us got 9"+. So I guess it was for them!

Preferred outdoor range is finally open. No more below freezing overnights.

Spring (real spring) is coming.

Been going to the range all winter, something I've never done. Swing is feeling great. Weather is starting to look more optimistic, golf season is finally approaching.

Annnnnd I break my ankle playing hockey and will be out at a minimum until June. Very sad.

Its really starting to drag now. Lots of talk in the Prairies that we will miss the normal opening range by 3 weeks which is a decent chunk of one of the worlds shortest golf seasons?

Golf Canadas active season for the area is April 15th and its still -15ish today Cel (-4 Fahrenheit)

It snowed a bit today. I think late April is more likely now.

I awoke yesterday to a 2" blanket of snow! Today we had temps in the 60's, accompanied by a deluge! A line of thunderstorms just blasted through. Now the cold front will slide through and the rain will turn back into snow tomorrow! Oh, joy!

Just saw a weather update on the TV. Turns out the t-storms that went through aren't our last! Another line of them is out there and heading our way! How lovely!

We had rain, hail and snow today in mid-Michigan.   I'm not feeling the love from Spring.    Accuweather is saying that the third week in April should be good.

And that's the plan.

I'm not going to get a chance to sniff a golf ball for the next two weeks. Plenty of time for this stuff to sort itself out.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
