A Moonlit Sky

Mood flakes woulda been nice. Sad.

The "if it's not gonna snow let's just have 75 every day" tantrums are early this year. People should just move to Colorado.

Not really. Been a great 21 years WOR.

Only 6 below average snowfall seasons this century (this year will prolly make 7).

Go just a little north of you and that changes in a big way.

Don’t remember asking your for your vapid opinion. I was talking to Ray but thanks anyway for your useless drivel 

I aim to enlighten. You are welcome this day.

Yep, once you get to 3/15, if you live south of New England, it’s game over

People living south of New England are often a concern for those living in New England and posting in this New England regional sub. Excellent insight.

I like the snow that perfectly conforms to the western MA border. Considerate of geography.

Though I'm not really getting much snow so my beer is for other reasons.

Wouldn't smaller and shallower freeze faster?

I dunno about y'all, but I definitely hope for a torched February and March just in time for the pattern to flip in April. Love cold mist from April through June.

Rank the following: Winter, snow, cold, warm, baseball, and beach. I know you are big into baseball so I'm curious to see your ranking of these!

Cold, baseball, winter, snow, beach, warm.

March 2014 is the one that comes to mind for me.

I didn't get much wind. But then, I didn't have any lawn furniture to measure it by. Very sad. No damage.

Not gonna snow, at least it's gonna be cold.

Coldest air in years tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

Districts are also being told they can't go remote, so with all the students and staff out with covid, they're using combinations of delays and snow days to push through.

If your biggest concerns in life  are melting snow and what brewery to go to, I want to come back as Kevin Wood in my next life. 

The problem is that Kevin isn't getting wood because there's not snow on the ground.

My dad used to say that nuclear power was supposed to be so cheap and safe that they would be able to heat the roads in the winter lol.  Doh!!!

It is. It's easily the safest power generation source.

That would explain it at least on state roads.   Not sure why there were no local crews out putting down salt/mag chloride

I don't have insight into the locals, but I suspect it's the same. NYS is dealing with it too and we just saw what happened in VA.

On the plus side--the DOT is usually pretty good. They're no Eversource.

There were large staffing shortages at CTDOT prior to omicron--it's even worse with omicron. Crews are dropping like flies.

While I agree on the last part, the times I do go into the office…the traffic has not changed much. There are too many companies stuck in the old ways.

You get the traffic you build for and we've built for nothing but cars. WFH isn't going to change all that much given our land use patterns. This further ignores the spatial aspect of work. WFH isn't going to become the norm because work doesn't happen this way optimally. It's why cities exist.

At least it's gon' be cold.

I'd be more content with fall and winter warmth extremes if the spring and summer could get similar cold extreme treatment. We get 80 in February but I'm not seeing a 30 in August. It kinda sucks enjoying and wanting seasonable weather.
