Diabo III closed beta invite! I was kind of ignoring all of the pre-release information on this game so it would be somewhat of a surprise the first time I played it after release, but I don't see how I can not take advantage of an opportunity like this.

There seem to be two things that Punxsutawney Phil can predict. If he sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter; if he doesn't, it means an early spring. But I can't find any definition of what early spring means: does it mean that it comes sooner than six weeks, so five weeks of winter would count as an accurate guess, or that there is some predetermined length of time (three weeks? four? immediately?) when spring has to start for his guess to be correct?

And then I guess you get into the whole question of how you define the beginning of spring anyway, but that's a little too far afield for idle questions related to the weather predictions of a small woodland creature.


2.1.12
The calendar may say February, but it sure doesn't feel like it. We've had plenty of precipitation this year, but almost no snow—an icing event a week or so ago and then a dusting the day before Halloween.

We've also had plenty of bitter cold snaps, but they just don't seem to intersect with the precipitation—it seems like we've had several instances this season where it was in the 20s and dry the first half of the week and then in the 50s and rainy the second half.

We're planning to go skiing in West Virginia in a few weeks, and I've been a little too scared about what I might find to check the conditions on the mountain. I know they must have gotten some snow, and I also know that whenever it's cold they can make snow like crazy, but we haven't been in a couple of years and it would be nice to have a good couple of days.
