I've probably made a dozen tweets in my entire life, so that's another fail for you, but just the fact that you might be trying to find out who I am (I post on twitter under my real name) is a little creepy - you might want to read rule #4 before going any further.
A dozen was a guess - it's actually about 30 over several years, i.e., maybe 10 whole tweets per year, so you've found me out, lol. Obviously you don't actually know anything about my presence on Twitter or you would have known that. And I've probably made maybe 1500 posts on TOS since 2018 (at most one a day on average - the post count there started what I had here in 2018), so you still have about 3X the number of posts on RU sports boards that I do (unless you want to count my 200-300 on the Grease Truck, lol). Double fail.
I actually don't care at all about how much anyone posts, but if someone with 3X as many posts as I have is going to call me out for needing attention (which we all do or else none of us would post here), I think it's fair to then bring up the ridiculousness of his assertion.
Big thanks for posting this. We are on Marco Island for a week. Saw this post, checked it out online, bought tickets (need to buy in advance), and went yesterday. Everyone in our group thought that this was a fantastic couple few hours to spend in the morning. Fascinating displays. The docents are all car guys/engineers/nerds and will fascinate you and may also bore you to tears with all sorts of details about the various cars. Learned a ton of information about cars here. @RU4Real - you been here?
You have any friends in Naples? That is where the Revs Institute is located. Maybe @e5fdny has been to Revs?
A must see.
Closest I’ve been to that place is the Naples Zoo. Not a bad zoo IMO.A must see.

No, NYC got snow on 2/1, as per the posts on page 3 (it was the latest first snowfall for NYC though). I'll be very surprised if we don't get at least one decent (a few to several inches) storm. There are some signs of a chance of snow late next week and then signs of a colder pattern for the end of Feb/early March, which could provide some snow chances. But nothing at all for at least the next week.
They had thundersnow this morning in Flagstaff.
From a couple/few years ago, but two of my favorites, first is Bell Rock, second is Cathedral Rock in the distance. Some people ask me why we like it so much in Sedona.
Not mine, and would attribute, but think I found them on Nextdoor, and not sure if the author posted a name.

Same here. My hyacinths and daffodils apparently don't know that it's February.
@MrsScrew is welcome to visit with your cardboard cutout, which I will bring into the hot tub. 🤣
reminds me of my first car accident, I was 16 and sitting at home during spring break and decided to grab lunch. There was a couple inches of snow and of course I continued on and crashed into a telephone poll. Harsh lesson for a youngster, good thing it was an old car. The cop that drove me home taught me the neutral / pump break trick that years later probably saved my life after a tow truck didn't look to his right and merged through my car, then slammed his breaks, and slingshotted me across route 1 on a day when it was pouring.
The snow season out west has just been outstanding and the northern Plains and most of the Great Lakes have also been crushed with snow this season, but so little for the northeast (except Buffalo with LES). It happens. Love both Flagstaff and Sedona (did both on the same trip through most of the AZ/UT national parks about 15 years ago in April - need to go back lol) and great pics!
A few interesting points for the bird nerds … most robins don’t migrate and you can see flocks with several hundred birds all over NJ. Since the ground is typically frozen they switch from a diet of worms (so we see them on our lawns) to a diet of berries and vegetation so they head to the woods and fields and therefore don‘t visit our lawns and bird feeders in the winter. I do however see huge flocks all winter long when hiking. As for goldfinches many stay all winter as well but their winter plumage makes it easy to assume they are small sparrows or house finches. Dozens visit my bird feeders every day all winter (preference is for shelled sunflower seeds).
