Man, my mind is mush because of climbing. I see V8 and wonder where the rocks are. (Vscale is how we judge the difficulty of a boulder route. V0-V16 is the range with the average climber doing a V5)

Not cold here today but temps are supposed to drop a lot over night I think. They are now saying we are going to get ice and not snow so I'm not happy about that. @AlyciaMarie I think we need to protest against mother nature....

@Gumbies R Us can attest to the fact that I've fully worked through the 5 stages of grief over this snow MULTIPLE times this week 🤣 ... I LOVE snow, and I am beyond disappointed. Now they're talking about a big snow next weekend? Yeah, not falling for that one.

This storm went from "24 inches of snow and breaking the blizzard of 1993's records!" to "There is a doomsday ice storm coming that is going to freeze the elderly and children to death!" to "rain".....

I would LOVE to see snow like that. The most snow I've ever seen was about 8 inches.

@revhtree has a mini one. I wish he would share photos of it. He claims it's not a flamethrower, but it 100% is.

    Votes: 8 50.0%

  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 3 18.8%

  • Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

    Votes: 3 18.8%

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)
