Skating rink on the cleared walkways.   Indoors tonight 

Yeah, almost did a few flips out there tonight, need skates to get around.

I'm still at 28, looking at radar you would think we'd be getting snow but not happening James.

I'm at 28 with drizzle, getting a load of firewood was an adventure.

Down to 26.1 now, driveway is pretty hazardous at the moment. Main roads still seem fine though.

Same here, driveway is a skating rink but roads are fine.

Not sure I buy this from Channel 5; I think that zone  around ORH sees more sleet than ice

I hope, I like having a house with electricity and cable working but thats just me.

My neighbor is a lineman for Eversource. He said they are bringing in a ton of out of state crews on standby. 

This is starting to look bad, better load up on my firewood today and stay in Tuesday.

Might be some light ice to start later Monday, but verbatim the meat of it might be rain. 

Where's the freezing line?

Lovely, at least the pack will have some protection...

I remember in 2012 we had a good pack and we got icing on top. I could actually walk on top of the pack and it was close to 3 feet.

Those are some of the most horrific crashes ive ever seen. im still in shock watching these. Especially the tractor trailer hitting that white truck at like 70mph how horrific. 

Holy shnikes, why was the truck going so fast? There's always morons out there.

Our roads locally were covered in so much tree debris it was undriveable, literally trees and branches all over our entire road, every powerline was also down and/or across the road (not an exageration). We had some heavy ice at the end that took down a monster tree in our backyard and scared the crap out of me and my wife. I regret not taking any pictures that day until most of the ice had melted. Too busy being worried about lost power and getting a generator.

This was from along route 190 in Sterling that another resident took - not sure of the height but almost 100% lower than here. Being on the far east side with relatively high elevation made things worse than compareable height areas to the west. Although once you were high enough it didn’t matter, Wachusett ridge areas were the worst, but lower areas of Princeton were not as bad as here. Main areas of Leominster were not as bad either, but most areas there are in 300-350’ range, their power companies failed them though in restoring power. We were lucky to have our own light department.

I hope we dont get a repeat in my lifetime, still tons of damage visible in woods behind our house.

 

 

 

I had an appt in Lunenburg right after the ice storm, it looked like the area was bombed with trees and branches down all over the place, I have pics somewhere, Ill try and dig them up. The only sound I heard was generators for the lucky ones that had one.

I lived for years (and grew up) on the northern side of the city which is generally pretty nice (and so is the western parts around Tatnuck Square and Worcester St College...straight northern ORH near Indian Hill/Greendale/Burncoat area is a little more blue collar than west side but still pretty nice).

But yeah, they never have addressed actual downtown. Hubbdave mentioned how the canal distrcit is making a comeback too which is nice....but this is pretty localized. The new stadium will be near there, so hopefully it helps expand the growth. They really need to revitalize Main Street between like the Police station and Hanover Theater over to Pleasant St south of Park ave. So much of that is still pretty dumpy. They've made slow progress, but there is a ton of potential there.

The Multi's are on fire, investors that bought in Boston have expanded to Worcester, a nice three family will go for over 500k, I think you're talking about single families and I agree but its a crazy market for multis.

Best thing anybody could have done in Boston. Buy a triple decker for 500K, make each floor a 500K+ condo. 1 mil+ profit. 

 

 

You're a little high on your numbers but that's right. They tried that in Worcester and it didn't work.

That's how so many got in trouble, but people need to do a budget. These people aren't doing the homework for you. You hear of these stories of people losing homes, but yet they didn't do a realistic budget out. 

And the mortgage brokers don't give a shit, they just want the commission, then when the SHTF they blame the appraisers.

Getting deep in some areas, snows over my boots out here

Just saying .. don’t be surprised if there’s snow up to 90 tomorrow morning 

You looking at the NAM?

Seems like a semi ratter but we're doing ok.

Some realtors I talk to are telling me they're getting 50 offers on a house they just listed. Im kicking myself because I knew the bottom was near in 2010 and I should have liquidated some stocks and bought a couple three deckers in Worcester. Almost pulled the trigger but didn't. I know a guy who bought 12 back then and can retire if he wanted but just keeps collecting oodles of rent money every month.

Oh no no, there’s still There.  Last weeks debacle will leave a mark forever, and One NEVER seen a radar where a Storm is coming from the West, and it’s snowing EVERYWHERE but On me, and to the West of me.  

It happened a few years ago too, I remember you bitching about it, it happens.

Very wintery vibe around here. Should be around for a while too. Let's keep building it

Pack is decent here too, I didn't realize until this afternoon when I did an inspection how good it is.

The pennies are trading sardines, if its up 750% time to sell, there are some long term holds on some pennies, I've bought and sold one three times, just keep your erye on them.

Is there any different rules or regs to buying the pink sheets?

Pink sheets are the wild west, you really have to do your research.
