Working, reading wx board, etc. spaced the time on the map. Deleted the original post. Welp.

There's probably going to be a lot of power outages here, if that's a concern. Otherwise, there's the Crotched Mountain Resort in Bennington, Blue Bear Inn in Francestown, Greenfield Inn in Greenfield, the Monadnock Inn in the old center of Jaffrey and the Hancock Inn in Hancock. I haven't stayed in any of those places, so ymmv. Dublin is probably the highest point in that area but I'm not sure if there's anything there.

That's relatively good news. Thanks!

Please tell me that there's no chance at all that the 34.7 at KAFN comes true. I know most of you are all "no snow, sucks to be me" but anything close to that coming true is a whole different kind of issue. Tuesday is Town Meeting Day in most small NH towns. And there's a ton of other stuff that's going to be impacted.

Crotched also going to cash in?

If Wachusett gets plenty, then so will I.

No flakes here, northeast of KAFN.

Any chance that it actually happpens? There's a Friday evening / Saturday day event in the area that might be impacted if that forecast is realized.

Fluffy snow here - 2.5"

At this point, I'd just love to know what it's going to be like at commute times tomorrow. Am I going to wake up to 3 inches of snow with a nice sleet covering per GYX or 5-8" of snow from another site which coworkers default to? Type A planners go brrrr

It's not a jack & jill place but it is near a lake and very scenic, in case they're looking for a place to have their wedding: https://www.allrosefarmwedding.com

I lived in the condos across the street from the ski area quite a while ago. The difference between the condos and the center of town was frequently substantial in terms of the amount of snow. If they’re measuring in the right spot, I could see it being close. Greenfield got 17. Peterborough got 21. So maybe 25?

Amazed that we have power too. We've knocked some of the snow off the lines to the house. It'll be chainsaw and lopper work to get the driveway open. Fun times.

My guess https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-archambault and https://www.atmos.albany.edu/student/heathera/ Amazing work!

Ours was also 4.399 for a pre-buy contract. And again, better than playing the pricing roulette.

If you're still around tomorrow evening, there's an Oktoberfest in the center of town.

Any chance it's off gassing from the plastics or plastic like materials? Does your car get really hot? (Park it in full sun during work, for instance.) I've used Sprayway glass cleaner in the blue and white can. It doesn't smell the best and you need to follow use a microfiber towel but it does a great job of getting the junk off of the interior windows.

In western N. Dakota

Oh, that's absolutely beyond awful.

On the prospect that Russia will take bitcoin for oil and gas?

Hopefully it won't work like when NH cut the cigarette tax. The prices stayed the same and the state lost the tax dollars.

That's a terrific story of history, weather and love.

The attribution that's generally more valid is careful combing through the techniques, malware code, etc. and comparing it with samples from previous work. Yes, locations can be easily spoofed. Also, it's pretty easy to pivot through a hacked network within a target area so your attack source says "Indiana" but that's just the poor folks who were hacked before you. For DDoS attacks, it's really irrelevant where they originate from, I think. You can ban prefixes and it does filter out some of the noise. There's an article floating out there about one of the Ukrainian hackers who just rented Google cloud space to run his bots. It's not so much the DDoS attacks that US and allies need to worry about, it's things like wiper ware (ask Sony about that), tool theft (ask the NSA about that one although that was a leak), data theft and SCADA attacks. Water systems? Utilities? GPS data? There's a lot of worrisome things to think about.

tl;dr: Yes, it's possible to have likely attribution but it takes time, talent and a lot of work. There are groups that are part of a nation state. https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/who-is-fancy-bear/ There are groups that are affiliated with nation states. The Conti ransomware gang has been cited as being affiliated with the Russian government, for instance. https://thehackernews.com/2022/03/conti-ransomware-gangs-internal-chats.html And the Ukraine has enlisted a host of individuals to hack on their behalf. https://threatpost.com/russia-leaks-data-thousand-cuts-podcast/178749/ I would not want to work on a blue team at the moment. I can tell you that the people that I know who work in cybersecurity are very busy these days.
