  1. Yup, and Wildcat can get 20"+ but the wind will load and scour it so it seems like a regular day on some trails. I loved Bracket but some of my favorite trees at SL are still the small areas just south of the Spillway X-Cut. Steep and the snow just gets piled in there.
  2. I thought I was crazy yesterday when I kept thinking the sky had a yellow/orange tint to it all afternoon on the Quabbin. Glad to know I'm not.
  3. Down to 41, cooler than yesterday morning.
  4. Saddleback is really crushing it. I heard there is already minimal lodging available for the winter.
  5. Funny to see the wundergorund temps. We are currently 5-8* warmer than stations in Amherst, in the fall the cold air just settles in there. Past two years our first frost has come ~2 weeks later than theirs as well. 44* for a low here. House is at 63, shorts with a hoodie type day.
  6. Yup, a few of those in our hood as well and their lawns are crispy. Kept mine at ~4" all summer, it looked shaggy but it definitely saved it. No rain for a week, go out and the ground is still damp. Just acting like a canopy.
  7. Only got down to 45 in Burptown. Ye olde man @MBRIis up outside of Rangeley, curious if he saw some 30s this morning.
  8. Minimal hummingbird activity at our feeders since Tuesday. Prior to that they were going through 10-12oz a day. Must be starting to head south.
  9. Yea tweeting about it is unacceptable and that model of tracking is highly questionable. The peer review process has been quite busy recently. I've done more/gotten more requests to review manuscripts since March than the previous couple years. Think a lot of folks are diving back into older/previously collecting data sets.
  10. Fall smallmouth pattern is in full swing. Stacking up at the edges of pockets/coves and fattening up on perch.
  11. He put down excess fertilizer during a torch week to burn it up for pics. Some next level trolling commitment right there.
  12. Yea, those mushrooms are pretty amazing.
  13. Yup, basically zero sleep between 1-4am due to the thunder and lightning. Another inch or so over down.
  14. Buying that pass yesterday had me watching our old videos in the background while working today. Got thinking about getting the legs ready since no hockey this year.
  15. Random thought, I'm curious how places like Jay, Stowe, Whiteface, Killington, Stratton, and Loon are going to deal with the issue of enclosed lifts. K, Stratton, and Loon especially. Less of an issue for Cannon...I guess the same for Jay because their upper mountain lifts rarely spin lol.
  16. Better heat than snow in Denver. I don't know if I have ever seen a city deal with snow worse than Denver. Their strategy is don't bother plowing because the sun will come out and melt it all eventually. Was there in February for a conference and they got 5-7" over 2.5 days. Never saw a plow and the roads were a disaster around the city.
  17. Hard to beat the Indy pass. $199, blacked out holidays (we don't bother then anyway for the most part). Plan on 2 days at Berkie, Catamount, Mohawk, Pat's, and maybe Cannon (if Tramline and some decent stuff is open). Getting to Magic and Bolton will be bonuses. Hope to hit Greylock a few times and finally be able to ski the Powerline.
  18. 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.
  19. Yup, had our windows open until around 10pm, went to bed with the house at 65*, felt great.
  20. Only torch will be from some heaters kicking on in the early morning hours. Got to love August.
  21. 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
  22. You have more than that up there (e.g., that stunning old portrait of Patrick Swayze in the woods lol).
  23. Any out will be a bonus day. It may never start or end at anytime.
