Have you tried riding this year yet? It sucks all over new England and it's already February. She gone.

I just got back from riding in Pittsburg, and it was not great. Lower elevations around the lakes are poop, and at elevation it's ok but thin in a lot of spots and all bumps.

The good news with all the dryness is that we may have an exciting spring fire season to look forward to

True. But inches of retention care bigly. Stuff was melting off yesterday that normally wouldn't happen on say December 19. My grandmother, mother, and aunts would always say after July 4 summer is basically over. Yes the peak heat is coming, but the back to school stuff starts to come out, the day light is less .....and if you've been stuck in misery mist and clouds until July 4, well you just missed half the summer. The clock doesn't lie. It's like watching only the best part of the movie. Why bother watching the start, when the best is yet to come?

Turned into a nice event! Lots of towns not expecting to have to plow.

Go for the futility record at this point?

Nope, Brigham Pond. There was one other group out there

None of the larger lakes are fully safe. Anything that opened up with that warm spell is still questionable even here above 1000'. Got out in Hubbardston today though! About 8".

I hiked right in that area a few years ago, crazy to think of it all gone. TBH though it looked very crispy and brushy, primed for a fire.

Might as well not even look at anything until the radar returns start coming in, according to Wolfie logic.

Except with the wind, hardly anything has been able to freeze nice. Fails all around.

Yeah not sure what kind of valve you have, but if you can just take off the face plate you may be able to see the valve and into the wall a little.

Probably one of the connections like you said. Maybe leaking shower valve in the wall?

BOX not impressed enough to upgrade to a warning. Typical CAA mehness.

Ehh, not in December as a whole the past 15 years. This was the first December in awhile where snow machine trails were open in NH. If summer hasn't hit it's groove by June 30 in SNE....we are in trouble my friend.

Yep. Tough to call it a good winter when the days are getting longer and you haven't got shit. The older I get the more I'm a seasons in seasons guy. As far as usefulness, a winter of nickel and dimes and consistent cold from mid December to early Morch is much more useful than getting one or 2 HECS in early March. The kiddos can play pond hockey and sled, adults can x-country ski, Wachusett and Blue Hills can get good business. The one complaint I hear in my circles is that all we get is "useless weather" in winter now.

Seems abnormal to get 4 days of 50s this time of year, even compared to the last five fart winters. A day of two max, but my little pack is gone, and frost and pond ice will basically have to start anew.

Well Ice#s is right about Ice storm season coming to a close soon. Once you get past Tanuary 7 or so it gets tough. Usually I get a decent glazer in December. Not this year.

But what can really go wrong with a mercury thermometer? If anything I feel the Mercury gets stuck and it reads too high.

Yup, about the same here. Well, my cheap weather station said -1, car said 0. Still looks like Notown Res had some open water on the way in to work this morning, although it's much reduced. Should be some pretty good pond skating for the local kids Christmas morning, like you see on the Hallmark Channel.

Per the list, the coldest temperature in Massachusetts was recorded in the small towns of Chester, Coldbrook, and Taunton. The temperature in all three towns reached a state record low of -35 degrees in 1981, 1943, and 1904. Taunton? Must have been a fakiator situation

Not getting any snow before Christmas is kinda like not getting any heat or thunderstorms before July 4th. Wasted half the season in both cases.

Mudmobiling even from Magalloway to The County
