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

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.

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.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
