this is my plan as of right now. head up I-91 to White River Junction, and then based on traffic, decide to head to Burlington via I-89 or continue up I-91 to Newport.

seems like this "pattern" has been more persistent than 3 weeks now

more storage space would be cool a dark theme would be cool, too

Buffalo

nice out. going to walk around the yard and pick up the twigs that fell during last weekend's rainstorm.

gonna head to Vermont and cross my fingers that the 30% chance for sunshine happens

I started using a helmet 4 years ago, when my oldest started skiing. When I started skiing in 1990, the only helmets you saw were on the ski racers. Now, everyone is wearing them.

re-gift them, no need for last minute holiday shopping

good time to install the snow stakes along the driveways and sidewalks

Light snow in Methuen, dusting on the ground

No, but I have built up a sizable credit by improving generation (targeted tree removal) and reducing consumption(eliminated the furnace and switched to LED lighting). When I finally get an electric car I'll have a couple of years worth of free fuel credit from the power company.

You want to own the panels, that's the best deal. When you lease them, some one else is also making some of the money from the electricity the panels generate. this is an issue. if you are considering solar, electrify everything first so you can prove to Eversource that you actually need that many panels. When my panels were installed, one of the requirements to get the utility company connection permit was the system had to be size limited to generate no more power than the house had been using on an yearly average basis.

put solar panels up 7+ years ago when my house needed a new roof, haven't paid an electric bill since, and have a 4-figure credit for excess unused power I generated and sold back to the electric company will get an electric car when the technology, availability of different models and prices improve. right now, most electric cars on the market are higher-end vehicles, I prefer smaller, lower cost, high production run vehicles since they are less expensive to insure, drive and repair

New England hasn't really been "negatively" affected by AGW all that much yet, but that doesn't hold equally everywhere. Solar panels belong on buildings, not in the woods or fields. The notion that panels are junk in 20 years just isn't true, they are just de-rated a bit, just like any other technology that has been operating for 20 years. Electric cars are heavy because battery and charging technology are still at the beginning stages of serious tech development. We have a long way to go, but long journeys begin with first steps. There are unrealistic expectations on either side. Patience and understanding will be needed. I don't think Tip is an "alarmist", he's merely point to the data, which is substantial, and (IMO) conclusive.

Big, big difference between cooking food and making snow for skiing.

that's true of all real estate NH has the 4th highest property tax rate in the country

before you jump think about the property taxes, very high in NH

Mine is still on too !

Ive skied killington in October in the 90s. It was a Columbus day tradition. They would run off the k peak double mid-station to the top. The mid station line would quickly long and we would mountain bike in the afternoon since it was no problem getting on the double at the bottom.

Over 2” here since it started Saturday

For some reason this just seems strange to me.

@Damage In Tolland gonna fire up an uninstall thread ? mine are going in the basement as soon as they dry out.

up to an inch, looks like one more batch incoming
