    Anyone here use Plymouth Rock assurance for auto insurance?

    Our policy with Geico just sky rocketed for no reason and I’m shopping quotes.

    they beat everyone else, what’s the catch?

    I had the same experience with Geico. Started with a great rate, then a year later it exploded for no reason

    Could be some pretty intense aurora action tomorrow or Friday night.

    Or it could be underwhelming like roughly every solar storm in the last 20 years.

    Saw a good one in Iceland. There it’s almost a nightly event, but just like it here, it’s cloudy A LOT

  3. The ice cave was at Vatnajökull, near the ice lagoon. We did a good tour and tried the fermented shark - it’s absolutely foul (but you only eat a tiny little nugget and wash it down with a shot. It’s like eating ammonia). I did try horse and puffin, much to my kids dismay, both good. 
     

    Met this cute little guy today. People have been feeding him so he’s quite friendly

    My wife said it's expensive there, for food and lodging, did you find that?

    Lodging wasn’t too crazy. Food is definitely on the expensive side but not crazy - and I’m sure you can also find some cheaper options than what we have been going for.

    My wife went for 4 days with her friend at a reasonable cost, she wants to go again with me, 4 days she said is pretty good amount of time to see a lot.

    4-5 days is definitely a good amount of time. Flights are pretty reasonable. Food is pricey but to be expected in such a remote place

    Alex,  I'm a volcano/earthquake nerd too.  I have been watching Iceland non stop.  As of today, Monday that whole area is closed and evacuated.  The good news is that the tremors are slowing down so the magma may not make it to the surface, hence no eruption.  Enjoy the Aurora's.  My sister in law just got back and Iceland was so much better than she had imagined. 

    I love volcanoes too. Saw Yellowstone,Craters of the Moon, Stromboli (erupting), and Hawaii this year. We’ve kinda made it a year of the “volcano travel” so Iceland seemed like a good ending. :)

    Nice Alex!  I never saw this cam.  With the view of the roof too you can get an idea of accumulations, at least in wet snow events.  Definately a bookmarker

    Yeah and you can see the ski slopes (when it’s now snowing lol). Keep in mind the roof is very windswept so you don’t get much accumulation on it

    That’s almost everyone in the entire 6 state region other than Alex , Tamarack and usual spots 

    Even here while we've been below freezing several times, nothing like in past years. My cannas are still not fully dead, so not quite ready to be pulled out of the ground yet. That's several weeks later than usual.
