Snowedin

I agree except we need a little more swampiness in the air to truly get that quintessential New England summer feel.

I for one have grown fond of this perpetual monsoon season and enjoy the occasional trek through the swamps that have become my backyard in recent months. I could not imagine a day without sinking several inches into the lawn as I casually walk my canine companion throughout the land while she meticulously searches for a place to do her naughty business. /s

I’ve actually seen more bluebirds in our yard (specifically at a suet feeder) this winter than the entire I’ve lived in this area. I do wonder if the warming climate has anything to do with the sudden increase in sightings or perhaps I’m just more vigilant of the different birds that happen to be in our neck of the woods. It really is an incredible sight.

Anyone have a spare rowboat?

About the the same here. The monsoon season just doesn’t want to be end for us water weary folks in New England. Can’t wait for more stink bugs and giant spiders to come crawling their way through the cracks in the weeks ahead!

You must have me confused with someone else. The snow is nice but straight up cold, cloudy and dry weather to me is something akin to a bad horror movie that just won’t end. When I was a wee lad I admittedly was a little more enthusiastic about the season. Nowadays, I long for greener (and warmer) pastures. Funny how that changes with time for some.

Wake me up in march..man this weather is just depressing right now. Anyone got any spare tickets to Aruba?

Yeah this is the best kind of snow to receive imo. Light, fluffy, picturesque and not even enough to have to worry about shoveling. It’s too bad we can’t this like as you said, without it being bone numbing cold as well. I guess you can’t have it all in the middle of January!

That’s incredible! There’s probably gonna be a lot of sore backs and knees in that area for the next several days. Hopefully you guys can catch a break very soon.

Stay safe out there!

Hey what’s that sound? Oh it’s just another tree crashing down in a wind swept downpour in the middle of January. Gotta love the wild and lush tropical oasis that is Eastern mass!

That's nuts. I almost wish I had the mindset to take a quick recording so in the late summer when everyone is wishing for a tropical storm to run up the gauntlet and cause all sorts of havoc, at least I'll have direct proof that it was already experienced to a certain extent in just about the dead of winter hah. And hey, at the least the power is still on too (knock on wood) as I was almost sure we would lose it earlier with the winds raging.

Took the words right out of my mouth. This is mid-summer like tropical stuff blowing through right now. It's just incredible that we're seeing this happen in mid-January of all times but I guess you could just say it fits the general trend for the last 6+ months in southern new england. I gotta find myself a spare rowboat at this rate!

It’s very windy here and the rain is of course coming down in sheets. Already heard a couple trees come down in the woods in the last hour. Can’t wait until this damn wind dies down so I can finally sleep lol.

Power came back here a few hours ago. Such a huge relief after fearing it would take several days or more, especially with the cold setting in. Hats off to all the crews coming in from out of state working double time to get things back to normal. Couldn’t have asked for a better Christmas gift.
