Doing that today for first time with my older daughter . Don’t like it 

Good luck Kevin, did that with my son yesterday. He's our second child, so it was our second time, it was not any easier than the first. When it was time to say good bye I handle it like ripping off a band-aid...a handshake, a hug, a few words, and then turnaround and go. 

Much easier as a kid than a parent, the way it should be.

Beautiful day out here on Pt Judith. 

 

I love that spot....loved it even more when it was a hidden little gem.....wrote eulogies for both my mom and dad on that wall, both in the offseason of November long ago...no better place to think

Congrats E MA! 

I live about 3 miles from Norfolk, right down rt. 1A could hear the thunder and see the clouds...I had about .01. I didnt even look for final tally...not all of E MA cashed in on this one

At least some got some rain. Absolute rusty coat hanger shoved high and deep here.

That is how I am looking at it, Brett and his crew down in Taunton needed it a bit more than we did up here...at least somebody got something

Thunder is loud from all around us, but nothing here...as many have said, so frustrating, I got nothing to add

I would have to put the GM and coach who has won 6 Super Bowls into the competent category. Even if you think he "sucks and he blows" as GM, to paraphrase the sports radio show I never listen to, 6 wins as head coach should be enough to qualify.

We were down in FL for a week...93/75 every day with a heat index of 102....and when you wake up at 6 in the morning, still the heavy pale of humidity....you sweat just by walking....I am not complaining, that is the expectation in FL....but coming back here yesterday to these temps and lack of humidity, its not even close....this is so much better  

My college roommates son is serving his residency at MGH, he is from Tampa and got here about month ago. He texted today and says he loves this weather....

I'd like it about 5 degrees warmer, but I am not unhappy with these temps

If the Celtics don’t make it it’s because nobody had the balls to step up and closeline Draymond Green as he goes in for a layup. 

Kevin McHale isn't walking through the door, unfortunately.

He didn't even get kicked out of the game for that, he would be arrested and drawn and quartered on social media endlessly today. Ugh...

IDK Martha's Vineyard  Gay Head beach was a very sight full experience 

Steve may remember Moonstone Beach in South Kingston, RI. It was a nude beach till they closed the nude part of it the the late 80's; may even have become a bird sanctuary?  We would take our boat over from Narragansett and beach it right off Moonstone, and then walk the beach with clothes on. Probably did that 2 or 3 times, but even for teens, which we were, it got a bit strange.

I use a product called Wilt Proof on my Rhody's and boxwood every November, any of my evergreens that keep their leaves over the winter.....spray it on the leaves during the late fall and it helps keep them from the freeze-thaw-freeze and winds that tax them over the winter....I never get leaf damage over the winter on Rhody's or boxwood

 

Thanks, I’ll get some spikes and spike them all, I usually do that every year, but I’ll do it a bit earlier now.

And Hoth, you’re right, it is a boxwood. That’s my mistake

Seriously?  what the f is wrong with what I wrote about Mish, that set this shit into motion...

man

Your post was great, Tip......replies are not to your post, but to a prior, classless, morally vacant post. 

I really liked Mish, she was great.

Lost my brother to suicide 23 years ago, the feeling never leaves. If you are feeling suicidal, please get help. God bless her family, and those who struggle with this awful disease. 

Snowing nicely here again, steady light snow...quiet between about 11:30 - 1, otherwise been snowing petty (relatively) good all day

I guess that Sharon total could be legit with stoughton coming in similar 

I'm still not buying it. Canton reported 21, I used to live there before Walpole and we were always similar as Canton, Stoughton, and Sharon all border each other. 9 inches higher is so much more. Qunicy at 30, Canton 21, Sharon 30...it doesn't make sense. The band skipped over Canton?

Just now, rgwp96 said:

Is that report from Sharon , mass wrong ? 2 others from same town came in way lower and all reported  close to eachother in time 

very likely..a couple of pages back we mention that

How much you git Giuseppe 

About 20 Steve...tough to measure, going off my firepit and my retaining wall, but seems to be in line with the rest of my area...great storm, glad you are well!

Amazing, accumulating again

That seems high. They were just outside of the band.

I was surprised by that Sharon report. They are just on the other side of 95 from me, almost due south and while I did well, 20 or so, we were always dancing on the edge of the really good band. 30 seems high for them

Light, but nice flakes yet again

Yes it does. If this would've captured earlier and slowed it would've made a run at it. I'll be 61 in a few weeks. All the big storms since the 78 blizzard it has been said many times, that was a big storm but doesn't compare to the 78 blizzard. I had 3 feet of snow on the street I'm at now. It was my parents at the time. It took a 5 yard payloader to clear the street. Even that thing started to spin tires after pushing up a 20 foot pile of snow. Driver would back up floor it and smash the pile into someone's lawn. 4 days before they cleared the street. Don't think I'll see that again in my life time.

always go back to 78, but truly, a league of it's own...if you didnt experience it, then you look at the numbers, but the numbers don't do it justice....this was a great storm, and we have had many great storms since, but that one will always stand alone....Vinny, where in Cranston? I was on Community Drive, Edgewood, will never forget the front end payloaders finally clearing the streets...sorry, old guy will stop now...this too was a great storm...
