This is the nicest day in recent memory

72 Deep Sun breeze

Yep. Nice taste of Fall. 69/41.

What a dud with the CF. Temp drop is nice though. 0.02"

The wind is really starting to crank from the NW on the mountain now.  Here comes that CAA.

Top station is sustained 30-40mph, gusting 50-60 out of the NW.  Haven’t really felt this NW wind vibe in a long time up here.  Very cold season-esque.

Nice. Be in Stowe this weekend visiting my wife's cousin. Hoping the rain stays mostly away on Saturday.

Flakes and/or IP on the Rockpile?  
6 PM shower put another 0.01" in the gauge, now 0.04" since Isaias.  Can we keep dodging the strong TS like we've done all summer?  A couple last month gave decent rains but the donner and blitzen has been lacking and 20 mph is tops for winds.

You parched

In one right now here too, Won't last long.

May get a few cents worth.

Same, Missed again.

0.01" with some rumbles

Got the usual 20 drops - makes 6 of the last 8 days with some drops, total 0.03".  Can't ever remember having warned storms within 5 miles both north and south at the same time.  Reminds me of my one frame of duckpins - 1st ball took out the headpin and #5, 2nd hit #2 and #8 and the 3rd went down the middle of the road cleared by first 2.  Wonder what cleared the way for my nothingburger "storm". 
GYX statement on the southerly one warned of golf ball size hail.

Only in Maine

Great night on the harbor

Just came back from 3 hr ocean tour. Boats are pretty full

Heading out to dinner

Vinyard 

Nothing but death and burn as far as eye can see 

Down in Boothbay for weekend. Love this boat but don't know the make

0.14" in the tipper

2"+ would be great but seeing is believing.  GFS shows about 1/3 as much and even its qpf has consistently drained away as an even got closer.  5 days out from this past Mon-Tues, GFS was showing over 1" - we managed to bag a "T" on one of those days. 

Not getting my hopes up. we know how these pan out

We are so far from done.  The mental toll will really ramp up by winter if this continues with no finish line in sight.  Then we get to the fuk it stage where some people start to give up and stop masking and distancing. 

my wife was asking when this was going to be over and how long do we have to wear masks. There's no good answer. Even with a decent vaccine and better therapeutic treatments, Covid will likely be around a long time, hopefully mutating into a less damaging virus. It's not like if we get a vaccine, it'll be like an overnight shift to no more masks and social distancing can stop. What bothers me a bit is how long do we have to play by the virus's rules. Another words, at what point will be in the clear? We could be 1-2 yrs down the road and despite a good vaccine, some will still get it and public health might still be pushing the masks and distancing. For some people  unfortunately, they will forever be mask wearers and more anti-social, but I think you're right, eventually a lot of people will grow tired (if not already) of the protective measures and try to go back to normal. This winter is going to be a real test, especially in northern climates where a lot of the outdoor recreation and eating out will largely come to an end. Restaurants will still be heavily restricted on occupancy and life in general will just feel different, especially with the shorter days.  Will certainly be mentally challenging for a lot

Used as a shed, Yes, My neighbor parks a vehicle in his.

Our neighbor was too. Seems happy with it. Hillview sells a 20x28 stick garage for $10,300. that's a bargain and makes my buddys quote more ridiculous

I would be kind of Leary of the wood floor.

I think for an oversized shed it's ok. 2x6" are used.

Just now, dryslot said:

One of my neighbor has one like these.

yeah, the prefab is from HillView Barns. Just wish they would  do 16" wide. They will do stick built, but couldn't get one till next year.
