    Cool picture of an American Marten taken in Crawford Notch. Nice to see them making a comeback up in NNE. I believe they were once common in most of New England. Most of the population is up north in Canada now.

    Saw one of these guys on the Appalachian Trail between South Twin and Guyot in the Whites this year. One of my favorite animal encounters while hiking.

    I’m going to guess the future. We will start getting major hits from GFS to Cmc and UkMet the next few cycles for next tuesdays event. Than we will be tracking a major nor’easter and all of sudden by the time it’s all said and done we’ll be getting snow to sleet back to snow like the one we just had a few weeks back.

    I'd be content with rounding 29.9" (29.96"?)" to 30".   Splitting hairs at this point (almost literally... 1/25th of an inch).

    On a slight tangent ... Media will cite whatever number suits them depending on the point they want to make and another inch of snow in December 2020 won't change that.

    Fair point. There's also been some questionable measurements over that time spawn as well...

    Was reminiscing with my 20 year old nephew over the Boxing Day Blizzard. He said he feels spoiled whenever it snows now, as if nothing will ever compare to that snowstorm. I told him, “I know the feeling. I’ve been chasing that high since ‘96.”

    Ya can't simplify this with "I don't like rap" (which btw is also suffering from the mediocrity bug. It was better even 15 years ago, lol). This is more general "pop music" If you want more specific terminology...okay: the newer artists, current artists, (as well as older ones who have sold out and watered down their music to sound more "current"), the more popular "sound" being produced...that's what we're talking about.

    How can you possibly say that when there are artists like Kendrick Lamar, Run the Jewels, Denzel Curry, Danny Brown... this is ridiculous. 

    I'm convinced anyone who says current music is bad is either too stubborn to step out of their comfort zone and listen to something new or just lazy and prefers being spoon fed classic rock.

    I wasn't even around in the 60s but I defer to the experts on this:

    https://gulfnews.com/entertainment/music/rap-rock-and-all-that-jazz-which-decade-had-the-best-music-1.1564376108517#:~:text=The 60s,was in its purest forms.

    *this is obviously somewhat subjective based on what kind of music one is exposed to, but there has to be some objective metric in terms of music's influence on society.

    The 60s

    Hardcore music lovers will argue that the 60s were the best decade in musical history. It was in the early 60s when rock music was in its purest forms. As the decade neared its end, the pure rock was muddled with psychedelic rock, blues-rock, and folk rock, which had grown in popularity as the decade progressed.

    John Lennon was once quoted saying “The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.” The music industry really started to properly form, at that time. There was less segregation determining who could sing what. The sixties was a time of excitement in the music scene. The lyrics started becoming more experimental and expressive. Songs were more thought provoking, and tackled social issues, rather than just asking how much a doggie in the window was. And artists like The Beatles helped many see through the tough times.

     

    another nod to the 60s

    I never said music from the 60s wasn't influential. Yes Bob Dylan is great. Your assertion that music made now is bad is narrow minded.
