    Yup. My grandmother's house in RI was built in 1732, needless to say its a bit drafty. Even our home was built in the late 70s and one of the first things I did was stuff insulation and spray all around the foundation.

    Yup, had our windows open until around 10pm, went to bed with the house at 65*, felt great.

    No dews but a TORCH!

    Only torch will be from some heaters kicking on in the early morning hours. Got to love August.

    K sounds pretty rough too, damn. I'd want to get away from there. There are so many other places that have little drama and are all about loving being on the mountain or outside.. My home mountain has nothing of the sort in terms of toxicity, and its almost closed multiple times or had little/no snowmaking or running lifts in previous years lol
  6. PowderBeard
    You have more than that up there (e.g., that stunning old portrait of Patrick Swayze in the woods lol).

    Any out will be a bonus day. It may never start or end at anytime.

    There was a large barbed wire fence ~15 years ago to the left of the summit double. Then my buddy had his pants sliced open while skiing Carter Glades probably 7-8 years ago. I know the ski area boundary is old barbed wire on skiers left side of the area. There is/were also several old electric wire fences for keeping livestock and sap lines scattered around the woods of the lower mountain. It gives a new meaning to "hidden obstacles."

    That is a sweet place to be in terms of NH skiing. Don't know if I would ever leave Wildcat or Black Mountain. Anyone know if the woods of Black Mountain are still loaded with barbed wire?

    I guess I can officially say it now since the sun is out lol

    Yea we were up skiing, had a short-lived hour stomach bug hit me while skiing at MRG, tried toughing it out but ended up puking off the lift a few times. Took the following day off, felt better, hadn't eaten in almost two days, ended up putting it down in less than 10 minutes. The day I can eat red meat again I'll make the 7 hour round trip up just for that burger.

    It's been brightening up, still is. Your mountain must be socked in.

    I just don't know how Ritchie is in when they have Studnicka who puts shots on net, doesn't take dumb penalites, and can actually skate with Coyle.

    Best burger and fries around, The Godzilla - pastrami, pulled pork, beef Brisket, pork roll, smoked bacon, fried egg, hash brown, multiple types of cheddar on it as well.

    Clearing, breeze picking up, sticky as ____. Lets get some storms firing.

    Meanwhile... Later today into tonight, a strong cold front may produce scattered strong to severe storms across parts of interior Southern New England, weakening as they move eastward

    Yup. And Tip, it's easier for a weather simpleton like me to see patterns like model bias (e.g., Euro over does warmth in the 5-7 day ranges and has a tendency to develop winter systems further west 3-4 days out) than conduct double secret probation ensemble math. Anyway, nice cool week to start the month. I still wouldn't be surprised to see BDL finish with 40 or even 41 days at 90*, always a few hot ones in September.

    Amazing how much thatch can come out of a 2000 square foot lawn that was straight dirt this time last year. Been cutting shorter and shorter, down to less than 1". After detatching last night I have a 40' long pile 12-18" high of debris....and cannot feel my shoulders or back.

    Idk how they will enforce it but the county sherrifs were pulling over lots of out of state plates in the spring. Not sure if you've hit it but Platty is pretty amazing and cheap option as well. Probably averages more snow than Gore and definitely better conditions than Whiteface. Their elevation saves them and their marked and unmarked terrain is pretty special.

    Yea must be short supply. Oil is so cheap, just topped off for $1.49 a gallon. I believe a cord of decent hard wood btu wise only equates to about 120 gallons of oil.

    1804 redux in-coming.

    Euro really backed down next week. Was a fun summer.

    This dude is pumped for winter... https://westernmass.craigslist.org/grd/d/hinsdale-seasoned-firewood/7180524369.html

    About .5" and temp dropping to 61*. Torched and steined again.

    I checked out some videos of Bousquet after Berkshire East acquired it. Their upper liftline looks like the most technical skiing in Mass with big rocks and ledges. Wouldn't mind returning to Catamount after 15 years. Always a fun steep hill.
