I take it that amount of snow is not common in Erie. You can have a lot of fun with large amounts of snow.

80" or so in the last five days? No, that's not normal, @Zeph. :-)

120" is a lot of snow! :-O Especially in that short time period. What kind of amounts do you usually get during winter? Edit: I saw the table now, 35".

There are some places a couple of hours from where I used to live where 2-4 meters of snow is normal, but that's in a valley with perfect conditions for it.

I went to college at Michigan Tech, which was named the "Snowiest College in the US" a few years ago:

https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/the-10-snowiest-colleges-acros/22129751

We used to get over 200 inches of snow for the entire year, and it wasn't a huge problem, they knew how to move it.  But I can sympathize with our friends in Erie, getting 10 feet of snow already, when the average is more like 3 feet, has to be pretty difficult to deal with.  Good luck for the remainder of the winter.

Winter is coming. And coming and coming. And coming. 

Hope it warms up for Erie.

Pretty sure we motored into "real winter" yesterday. Outside of Sweet Grass, MT. Man it is cold here. I think it was -10F  last night. Luckily we have a large fire place at our disposal. No golf up here.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By Daz_96 ·

      The hype with the LAB Putters is something ive kept a keen eye on but i havent actually tried one... yet!! I use a SeeMore PCB and have done for around 8 years now and it was a gamechanger for me. It was the first time i had been fitted for a putter and from then ive totally bought into the fact that the technology in the putters makes a massive difference The only issue i have with LAB was that i did quiz them on Instagram what the difference between my PCB and a LAB Putter would be as the PCB from what i can find is just as balanced as the LAB Putters, however LAB couldnt tell me what the difference was and just said they didnt beleive in SeeMore Technology, but i wanted to know 'Why'!!  So yeah, the tech im sure works and think if anyone hasnt gamed a putter like LAB or SeeMore where custom fitting is crucial, then you gotta give it a go!

      Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often.
