  1. looks like heavier rain incoming for MBY. may move the antique Honda out of garage to let the rain wash off the salt
  2. up to 45F IMBY with hazy sun, used the relatively warm driveway and changed the oil in the antique Honda and the Camry
  3. 100 hours above freezing IMBY starting today, that should clear the snow and ice from my solar panels
  4. my garage door faces due north. I have to be diligent about removing snow and ice for the first 15-20 feet in front of the door to avoid the skating rink effect
  5. I can hear it overhead but so far it's not mixing all the way down
  6. looks like the salty cars will get a rinse, at least IMBY
  7. what do you drive ? the wheels from a 97 honda accord aren't too useful to most people, especially if it has the 4 lug nut configuration on the wheels
  8. is that a second line forming to the west, currently over hudson valley ?
  9. I'm hoping for an inversion since I'll be traveling the mass pike Wednesday evening
  10. I had studded snows a long time ago on a front wheel drive Datsun, it was unstoppable as long as there was clearance from snow underneath. It was also a bit scary on dry pavement at highway speeds. I've taken may ski trips up I91 to VT in my front wheel drive cars and every time i've gone and it's been snowy i've seen 4x4s and SUVs usually with southern flatlander tags off the road. I think people don't get that 4 wheel drive doesn't mean 8 wheel brakes.
  11. not down here in flatland country, but if i lived where you do, i probably would
  12. was wet and heavy and enough that I pulled the snowblower out of the shed to clean up
  13. snowblower might stay in the shed this year
  14. want to drop the winterizer fert but gonna need some rain first, what we received here last night wasn't enough irrigation stays on for the time being. can't remember the last time it was needed in October
  15. drove much of Massachusetts today and the colors were stunning. Springfield to Bridgewater to Boston to Burlington and back. Peaking along I-90 and I-495 today down to 39F here
  16. I saw them around this time too and they were amazing. It was in the middle of the night on a car trip to Maine on I-95 in Rowley MA. I was in the passenger seat and it was just as you described, shimmering moving curtains of light. haven't seen them since, I have a city to my north and the light pollution is really bad here, need to travel at least 30 minutes to get to really dark sky
  17. that's an option, but you might want to park the truck more than 500 feet from the closest house
  18. underground automatic irrigation system here, FTW I usually have it turned off and winterized by now, not this year. If we get some decent rain this weekend, I may finally put it to bed for the winter.
