In Agawam up to 81 now my grandfather passed away this morning but we knew it was coming so kind of hard to be out enjoying it.. 

Sorry to hear, still sucks even if you knew it was coming. He's in a better place.

Right near shore it was actually over 10". The thinnest I went to was 4", as that's minimum safe thickness. The cold temps the last two nights actually really hardened and locked it up pretty good  The PFD is for when I go test the thickness lol. This place is only like 6 ft deep as well. 

So, at worst you'd get an ice-cold dunk and drag your ass to shore. I friend of mine fell through ice and the water was about 5-6 feet, we dragged him out, problem was it was single digits and his clothes turned to ice taking him home.

Still ice here in N ORH if you know where to find it! Definitely the last day though. 

How thick is the ice? One thing I liked about spring fishing you didn't have to dig through 2 feet of ice.

Need one of those tents with a stove 

When I was in Boy Scouts I had one of those Coleman propane lamps, that thing would heat my tent right up.

You know I wonder if there's like a "green up line" 

I think there's something like that with trees.  I could swear I've seen it, the leaf out line or something.   But not sure that's the same. 

That pithier verdancy of spring where the fields are delicious with it like a 5-star eatery's salad ..  I mean there comes a time every spring whence that is noticeable and it's not the same as a couple of fluke early warm days driving a greener patch here and there.  Talkin' full commitment, and it does tend to flash over the landscape across an instra-weekly time scale - days in other words.  Not sure when the first (average) time that is - I suspect that season's climate bias plays a role. 

It's nostalgic.  I've seen pre leaf out but budding trees, with perhaps Norway maples in flower - those give off one of the best spring aromas there is outside of Lilacs. That green complexion underneath paints the fields, festooned with yellow dots from dandy lion. This setting comes on prior to the trees.  Spring fever afternoon if it's 72.  Four days later there's leafs cracking out

Seems in April there was one in Connecticut, my lawn was brown and dormant, we'd go 45 minutes south into Connecticut for golf, and the grass was nice and green a goods two weeks before mine.

I do wish my mother in law didn’t adopt 2 cats when she was around 80 (she’s 94 now)  They did provide companionship to her until she had to move into assisted living.  Now we need to care for them and it can be $$$. It’s a tough decision 

My mother in law adopted two cats when she was 80, they were adult cats so she's still around at 96 and the cats are gone. I was worried we'd get stuck with them if anything happened, dodged a bullet.

Flying to PBI from HVN 6:30 Friday morning. Headed to Miami for a few days for a bachelor party. Hoping that will at least take my mind off things after this week but much, much looking forward to a few days of temperatures around 80 with a touch of humidity. 

Thinking of adopting another one? I didn't want to after I lost mine last year but my wife found one and I love her and so happy she's around.

We said goodbye to our dog today. Gentleman came at 3:00 as we chose an in-home option. We got to feed him everything he wanted and he was so happy. Hopefully he’s back to being able to walk and run on the other side again. This sucks though…absolutely sucks. Going to miss him so much. 

Sorry Paulie, been through it a few times myself, never easy.

Is March 15 - April 15 the worst month of the year?

Can extend it a couple more weeks some years. I remember golfing at the end of April and when I got home, I'd light my wood stove to warm up.

Bad water break in Lewiston, you ok Dryslot? Looks downtown.

Between 3 and 4", still moderate but barely.  Radar points to this continuing the rest of the day, though accumulation might be minimal later this aft.  Maybe reach 6"?

I just switched back to ice pellets/graupel. You and Dryslot should do well.

Had a brief snow shower that covered the ground, now just a cold rain.

My dad did HVAC for 30+years and always said baseboard hot water was the best until radiant in-floor technology advances made that more practical but hot water is still the most comfortable. 

We have radiant in the family room addition, best heat there is.

12z GFS was blowing it up pretty quickly, But i would be hesitant as other models are much tamer over the duration.

Remember who led the way with the blizzard.

A little OES by Mike's pit.

I'm not a big caffeine guy, but man.. extra sleep and it feels worse than nap hangover. Probably woke up in a different phase of sleep. I've heard of the headache when quitting caffeine. Have you had a chance to test the BP? Funny how some are effected by it. Me, if I wanted could pound a pot of coffee and fall asleep an hour later 

My father used to have a cup of coffee before bed a lot of times.
