CAPE

Less than 100 losses. That's the bar lol.

No worse than 2-160!

Looks like I will be taking a short trip in that direction.

lol we both had the same thoughts of corrupting the lad.

Those beverages with high abv will "warm" ya. It is a "false" effect, as you are actually losing body heat- the alcohol causes dilation of blood vessels. Pour some bourbon in a shot glass and sip it. Then take another sip. Feel the warmth.

Dude, ask them what the deal is with the WWS. When are they brewing the next batch? Is it available for purchase anywhere? I cannot find anything other than the Oak aged version, and even that is hard to find.

That will do it lol. You drinking the original at the tasting room? If so, I am jelly!

I'm into an Oak aged Vanilla WWS on a Saturday afternoon. Danger cap ignored. This is good stuff- very complex sipper. I still like the original WWS better. Probably a handful of super big imperial stouts that are as good imo.

Yeah the Canadian has a little something too. Looks like a piece of energy dropping down on the backside of the Atlantic trough as it moves out.

Today through at least Wed look awesome, with temps warming into the 60s and maybe low 70s mid week. Late next week is a bit up in the air, but we do need some rain in Spring. Again hopefully the pattern is more on the progressive side with fronts clearing the region, so we don't get multiple days of clouds and showers/drizzle.

Fell to 25 at sunrise.

26 this morning.

Yeah I am a big DFH fan in general. That said, I especially like their high gravity beers, and others don't lol. They aren't for everyone, but they defo are for me.

Just drank one. Pretty decent, but I have had plenty of other NE IPAs I like better. Not overly hazy or fruity, and I really didn't get much from the oat milk. Was expecting a more creamy mouthfeel.

Chuck...

Sounds like a fun time. Love the Boulevard. Their Whiskey Barrel Stout is outstanding as well.

Picked this up today. Newer offering from DFH, a NE Hazy IPA. Looking forward to pouring this one... soonish.

Some flakes flying here too in the last 20 mins.

Interesting snippet from Mount Holly AFD. I chuckled. Dude seems genuinely disappointed lol. A nondescript weather pattern continues through the greater part of the upcoming week with a lack of any significant weather features of interest. Anomalously high 500 mb heights over the North Atlantic in association with wave breaking will mark a change in weather pattern with the negative NAO developing. Concomitantly, a decreasing Rossby Wave Number flirting from 4 to 5 is also to blame for this upcoming pattern. As mentioned in the previous discussion, the position of the downstream trough axis off the New England Coast and a building ridge to our west through the upcoming week will work to keep us largely void of significant precipitation and impactful weather.

Feels like Feb 2. Windy. Temp up to a whopping 34.

We are gonna get some rain in a pattern like that in Spring, but hopefully fronts are progressive and we don't get a stalled system that puts us in an easterly flow with clouds, showers, and drizzle for a week.

I am fine with an extended period of cool weather, as long as it isn't cloudy, damp, and dreary. 55-65 is perfect for the first half of April. Early Spring should offer a period similar to Fall, but all too often we switch right to 70s and humid.

As contractor, don't you get better prices at electrical supply houses than at Lowes?

That is real world data. A little research is required to find the reasons behind the trends in the data depicted on that graph. You realize that raw material supply chain disruptions don't necessarily have immediate price impacts on end products right? It takes time for inventories to become depleted etc, and after the lag, the impacts of supply shortages will not necessarily be distributed equally, thus prices will fluctuate and vary from place to place.

30 here this morning.
