    I've done Fox Ridge once before. Spring Meadows was the course I joined because it was close to work. Nonesuch River was always my preferred course in Portland (vicinity). And Belgrade Lakes is close to my in-laws and probably my other most frequently played course up here.

    Nonsuch is another favorite. And reasonable rates.

    I've come that close as well. 4th hole Falmouth (ME) CC from 165. Pin right center, right at the bottom of a ridge. I hit the top of the ridge and gravity worked in my favor. After hanging on the edge of the slope it started to wobble and trickle back down. It always stayed just outside the hole, but settled 6 inches away.

    I had another at Spring Meadows in Gray, 16th hole about 110. I threw my gap wedge at the center of the green. I normally hit that around 115, so I played it back and tried to drive one in with some zip on it. I surprised myself when it spun back 10 yards, just missing hitting the flag stick on the way by.

    So that makes my longest hole out 85 yards (for eagle), but it was a scramble so I feel like it only half counts.

     I've had one hole-in-one and it was almost entirely luck. About hundred and 40 yards , massively sloped green , went long and it rolled back. Weird thing was my luck continued for the next few weeks . Holed out for eagle twice from at least 150 yards . And that was pretty much the end of it :)

    But forget the cold for a moment. In our region, the bigger interest seems to be in this winter’s lack of snow. Any year that has seen this little snow through this point has never ended with a blockbuster snow total at the end of the season. Sorry to say, but that new snowblower you picked up over the holidays is just going to have to sit idle for at least another couple of weeks.

    Helluva time for the Pac jet to come roaring back.  There is some hope of a hemispheric regression after the thaw

    Yeah, not good.  With the lost time we'll need to hit on a couple 2fts and a 3fter to get to near 80"

    Now I haven't said this.  From where I sit, next weeks setup is garbage for me.  Ridge axis out west needs to push east another 100-150 miles.  What transpires after next week, is anyone's guess.  Looks like we go into the freezer for a few.  Perhaps we score a clipper in there and then maybe we get a coastal as the PV lifts out.

    Bob has been dead on this winter. We follow...

    I don't even think inland runner really describes the situation like it's a normal low coming up the eastern seaboard.  It's a massive ULL over the northern lakes and the primary low is a cutter into Ontario.  

    Hard to say looking at that if the set-up screams inland runner or not... if that ULL remains west the southern stream will get absorbed and ripped right up the Hudson River Valley.  If the ULL is further east, then it comes up the coast.  It's all about the positioning of that feature.  No blocking so it's not a "should" type of scenario... seems like it'll be luck as to where exactly that ULL ends up. 

    For a bigger event, we'd all want that ULL to trend a bit south and east.

    Thread the needle event for sure with marginal temps at this time.

    I’d watch Sunday and Tuesday / Wed.. that setup does not scream inland runner. Watch it evolve 

    Uh Huh.. 

    
Tuesday through Wednesday ...

Another potent storm. Onset wintry weather prior to erosion per S
winds. Not ruling out lead cold air drainage, however loosening with
interior surface to low-level low center over the N Great Lakes if
the 23.12z EC is correct. Another soaking for S New England possible
with another 1-2 inches of rain, strong S winds. Perhaps a repeat of
the coming storm? Wait and see. Low confidence forecast as forecast
models wobble, shift, adjust
