Some intersections on a military base with little accessibility.

Picture 1: crosswalk without a sidewalk-ramp leading to it. A 3 foot median of grass between the sidewalk and road.

Picture 2: across the same crosswalk, the APS for the next crossing is over 25 feet away from the crossing.

Who’s ready for snow days?!?

Well Doug goes snowy. Compares this upcoming winter to 2013-2014 which was one of my favorite winters. The seasonal models do like December and January but no so much February. February 2014 was epic so if you take out February…it’s still a decent winter. So i think we will have a some moments this winter but next year with El Niño has more potential in my opinion lol

In the end…nobody really knows and forecasting snow amounts is a total crap shoot like last year where we had plenty of cold and not enough storms. He did mention that he thinks his snow ranges might be too low👀😂
