  1. A White Christmas for me? Nah, more of the yard is green rather than white but at least it’s not totally green here. Merry Christmas to one and all.
  2. Newspapers aren’t slanted? Agreed that people should be more informed overall. You know me, I kid, I kid.
  3. I didn’t even know people still read newspapers.
  4. Plenty of snowfall ends up down the drain each season...
  5. If one is looking to kill some time, there's some decent virtual snowchasing today via traffic cams upstate, seen a few whiteouts already: https://511ny.org/
  6. Yeah, Boxing Day is on my favorites list up here, 18” and some terrific drifting enhanced by the open farm fields around me.
  7. Nice...that will give us all a bigger buffer zone...
  8. One doesn’t need to drive to northern Maine to almost hit a moose, you can do that in CT.
  9. Don't tell her you want to move up here for more snow, tell her you want to move up here to get away from the cool ocean in the spring when it can be warmer up here
  10. I have the Cyril Trotts cover of this, didn’t even realize it was a cover, thanks for the info gentlemen, good stuff.
  11. My current wife is much more tolerant of the cold and snow than my first...just saying
  12. Oh yeah. I remember DT going off on me calling me a liar during a storm back then, claimed there was no way I had snow falling at my location. It’s a heck of a lot easier nowadays to share a photo as needed LOL
  13. I started with ne.weather on AOL back around 97 or 98. Then I remember Wright Weather, then Eastern, then here.
  14. 93-94 might still be my favorite winter for the reasons mentioned above. Although we did better up here in the March 93 blizzard, 93-94 was a wall to wall old fashioned winter in comparison to decade plus of crap leading up to that winter.
  15. I would argue March 2017, at least it was IMBY. Some of he most intense wind driven snow I had ever witnessed...and then the dry slot reached my area which capped me at 20.0", could've been much more.
  16. I don't know how folks define HECS these days but here's the link: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/snow-and-ice/rsi/nesis
  17. I fertilized twice. Once in April and again in June. Didn't start to die off until August. Pretty sure it's not over fertilized. I'm gonna rotatil it next Spring and start over Yeah, after I posted I looked at the photo again and saw spots in the distance that still had some green. It just wondered if it was a burn of some sort, fertilizer or chemical. That’s sucks, so frustrating for you.
  18. My experience with grubs had the damage patchy, that is totally wiped out, wow. Did you fertilize? Maybe an incorrect setting on the spreader? I’ve seen guys totally burn the lawn out by over fertilizing.
  19. I second that, I read it after you recommended it before and it was well worth the read.
  20. Over 20 years now for many of us....or is it some of us?
  21. You’ve been on for 6 years already? Where the hell does the time go, I remember when you worked at the drug store.
  22. I had a patch of the lawn that looked similar to above and could not figure it out a couple of years ago. Then while mowing a clump of grass just rolled up and then I realized it was grubs again. It had been 11 seasons since I had applied milky spore and they were back. After I treated the whole yard, including flower beds, again with milky spore I haven’t seen them in a couple of years again.
  23. It looks like it’s rage-o’clock there, that sucks!
