  1. i don't know who will see them but millenials will blame them for just about everything.
  2. Well we have also been socked in the clouds east of the Greens for most of the day.
  3. There are a lot of home break-ins in NNE, esp off-season, even in the most remote locations. Camps and second homes are frequently hit. Homes will also often be hit during the day when people are at work. One technique is for the would be burglars to go to the house and knock. If there is no answer they find a way in, if there is an answer they will ask for directions or if that is where so and so lives and then leave. Game cams and other camera systems are being used more frequently in the area. I know of at least two cases from late last year where the out of state home owner was alerted to movement in the house by a camera alerting their cell phone and called the police. When I lived in Peacham, I was always amazed that there were not even more break-in because some of the houses were clearly empty in winter. The lack of any plowing made it clear no one was there.
  4. KLEB lead the field with a 94. https://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KLEB.html
  5. Have you ever dreamed of living in Iowa? You could become "Damage in Des Moines"
  6. KLEB was 94/65 at the 2:53 ob https://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KLEB.html
  7. That should make you about as happy as Wiz would be by the sign of a derecho racing across Mass.
  8. nice "eye" over Brattleboro https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=local-Vermont-truecolor-6-1-100-1&checked=counties-ushw-usint-map&colorbar=undefined
  9. Not Kuchera but Euro overnight was not bullish for snow over the next couple of weeks.
  10. Will you sue them for violating the "Damage in Tolland" registered trademark?
  11. He can't say he has truly experienced New England weather until he has a year where the high temp on July 4 is lower than on Christmas.
  12. Don't forget ya coffee and vanilla nut taps.
  13. Live free or die. Worst I have ever had it was the summer of 03. We were living in W. Warwick RI at the time. The neighborhood sounded almost like a warzone on July 4. The dogs were manic. Making it hard to understand was that we lived about 4 blocks from the Station Nightclub and the fire had just been about 4 months earlier. Only having one neighbor within a half a mile has lessened this issue.
  14. Good to hear they were okay. I am just shocked that there are trees left in Tolland to fall down. I would have thought they all would have come down the past 5 years based on the number of downed trees and power lines we have seen over the years.
  15. Meltwater is pouring off the roof now. I'll be out working in the yard soon this afternoon at this rate.
  16. Sun is coming out more frequently and we are up to 34 now so the melting has begun. Last measurement gives us 2.6".
  17. 2 inches on the outside table, clumpy on the ground depending on where there is grass, wet ground, etc. That poor birch above the wheelbarrow has been bent over since a storm in January? when we had snow then ice then snow and it then didn't melt off the trees for over a week. 30f and light snow at the moment.
  18. Sounds about right. I was in Peacham from 09 to 16 but I was not keeping any sort of log back then. I always amazed by people remembering specific storms and dates. I believe that winter we got a 15 inch storm in May but that could have been in 2011.My ability to do that has lessened as an adult. I don't put a ton of my info on the web so I am not surprised you best remember my obs. I am excited you are no longer calling me KLM. Edit: I went back through some old photos. I couldn't find any from the 28th but found a few from the 26th and 27th. The file info for this one says early am on the 27th:
  19. Funny but I was thinking about that everytime I hit a rock yesterday. Yup this is why they all moved to Ohio.
  20. I spent the weekend building stone steps up the embankment of the backyard. Our property has a large number of rocks everywhere and whenever I have done any digging, I inevitably hit a large stone somewhere. When I was digging the raised beds I ended up lining the outsides with stones from the beds instead of wood. I frequently had to resort to using a prybar to get the biggest ones out of the earth. So yesterday and today I took about 25 of the biggest flat stones and built a staircase. Hardest parts were when I would hit stones where I was trying to dig out to put the steps in. The other aggravating factor is that the lower part is very wet this time of year so the area I would dig would fill with water and muck. It was pretty fun yesterday with the COC day haowever. In terms of mulch, our town has a shed outside the transfer station. In the winter there is salted grit any resident can go and get. The other 4 months there is free mulch- mostly pine. I just go with about twenty containers and fill away. I did that a week or so ago on a day the dump was closed so it was quiet. It is a nice perk the town does.
  21. but wait there's more... another 1.1 overnight 18.7 for the event now.
  22. Looked like a little under 1.5 inches during the day today, 17.6 for the event
  23. 17.2 here after getting another 3.5 since 10:30 last night. Still snowing.
  24. been ripping 4" since 7:30, 13.7 so far on the day
