That’s a sweet view. Nice change of pace from the head-on in-your-face view of the presidentials (as amazing as that view is)...this view is more distant but still very nice.

Is there a link to it? I want to write something. I remember a lot of his posts and think family/friends should know his passion flowed out into this forum.

Yep, see above post....the Cape can get in some brutal snowless streaks in any given winter, but they have some big upside on the longitude storms. Throw in a little OES from time to time and they average out better than much of the south coast. You really need to get back to near HVN before you get as much snow as the Cape on the south coast....then it decreases again back toward BDR. There's kind of a south coast maxima near HVN.

Yes and they have a bit of latitude on SE CT...so they'll sometimes grab a few inches on a SWFE before they flip where SE CT might not. But they get some OES and they also get some pretty large storms that whiff everyone else (longitude)....so it can be somewhat boom or bust on the Cape but if you average it out over the course of decades, they end up like 6-8" more per year than a place like GON.

That title prob goes to far SE CT on the shore like where GON is. ACK actually does better than them...and the Cape a lot better.

Sometimes the sfc cold pool can prolong the line or even strengthen it if there’s CAPE available to tap into. I remember that happened in the 6/10/08 line that hammered ORH. We had gusts to 70mph. Came through around 10pm when there was still a lot f leftover CAPE from a 90+ day.

It was CCPSUSuperstorm2010...here’s the first thread I remember him in (the Dec 20-21, 2010 retro storm). You are right that he had another handle at some point that had AFweather in it. Kind if a bummer reading through it though. Some other posters who passed are in it (messenger and Nzucker). I guess that is bound to happen when we’ve been around over a decade.

Dogshit weekend on Euro....maybe we salvage Saturday.

Wow this sucks. RIP my friend. Met him at a GTG a few years back and he was a legit snow weenie.

Local PWS is 77F with a dew of 45F. Hard to get much nicer than that.

The sightings in the northeast are mostly mistaken identity, but there's a few legit sightings from wandering male mountain lions that made the trip from their range out in the plain states. I remember one was actually killed in CT a few years back....on one of the parkways. But there aren't any breeding populations in the northeast. Almost all the confirmed sightings have either been escaped captives or wandering nomadic males.

X-files was a great show. Even the reboot a few years back was decent, but didn't quite stack up to the original. I did like how Agent Mulder was now a paranoid recluse in the woods with tape over his laptop camera.

Despite high resolution cameras everywhere the past decade-plus, I'm sure none of them happened to catch them on video. It was just the still-frame cam with grainy resolution from 1955 that happens to be positioned correctly.

Not holding my breath considering it's New England, but I'd bet the CAPE would look better as we get closer on that synoptic look. It would be useful if the flow at sfc was a little more southerly.

Euro has a NW flow severe threat on later Sunday....we actually tend to do better on those.

That's been a bad look for Brookline....for no reason whatsoever.

FL and TX were the two main test cases this winter/spring and numbers never got that bad there. Made sense to start loosening the restrictions

I feel like nobody has followed the travel guidance that closely since the first wave back in spring (at least land travel....air travel has been different). Summer wasn't that weird around New England with people still doing most of their mountain/lake/beach vacations like normal. Only the restaurant industry was really different since many of them couldn't be open except for take out or outdoor seating.

Indoor mask requirement is going to drop I bet...or at least he will announce a date in a very near future where it drops. MA is dropping below 1% positivity rate and deaths are single digits.

I cannot stand the sound of crotch rockets

I think it just empirically demonstrates what an unsanitary and disgusting organization the Yankees are.

I have mine on my dresser but it’s collecting dust. Haven’t done anything with it since getting vaxxed back in March. I meet up with college buddies every year for a Bills game so I may need it for that unless they remove that restriction before the season starts (which they might since very few other teams seem to have it in place, but we’ll see)

Well that's your first problem. Learn how to count cards and ply a little blackjack. Foxwoods still has a decent game to beat. They deal pretty deep into the shoes there.

New Hampshire and Maine nobody gave a shit last summer when we were up there. Didn't make it up there this winter unfortunately, but last year was pretty much business as usual except wearing a mask inside stores. Almost nobody wore them outside.

Not sure, Baker has had some weird hills to die on during this. MA was pretty lenient about travel early on and gave a lot of leniency to stores being open, but then he had this weird battle with golf course owners that basically made no sense last spring. The outdoor mask mandate was really bizarre too this past winter after not having one at all last year except in cases where you were unable to stay 6 feet away from people for more than 5 minutes or something. But then changing it to all the time made no sense. Either way, glad it's all coming to end soon.
