  1. You can tell we're getting desperate, 7 pages on a light snow event.
  2. At my old house I had a thousand in my walk up attic, I sprayed some insecticide and got rid of them. I don't smell them either, weird that some say they stink and others don't smell anything.
  3. I'm too cheap to get a Davis, maybe my wife will get me one for my birthday
  4. I like how your car is buried and the one to the left has nothing
  5. One of the few times I'm happy to live south of the pike.
  6. I heard they pay well but do not vet the drivers too well.
  7. I got a solid coating today, maybe an inch and it hasn't melted, winter look today.
  8. A few years back when I first moved into my home my neighbors kid has a party, I live on a dead end street near the woods, the night of the party I let my dog out and there were a couple of HS kids doing the nasty in my yard.
  9. At least it looks and feels like winter
  10. Just started here too, another day, another coating
  11. I'm white, maybe 1/4 inch but looks like winter. Be nice to get a thicker pack though.
  12. You got a healthy pack now, it wasn't long ago it was 5-6 inches.
  13. Same in Worcester, three deckers were going for 100k in 08-10 and now they're 500K+, rents have doubled since then, I know a couple of smart guys that bought 10 and the other guy bought 12 for 100K and under, now they're living la vida loca. You could have bought 1 or 2 and doing well right now, I kick myself.
  14. Gonna have to spend a weekend at powderfreak land soon, need to see some winter and the wife needs a weekend away.
  15. Anyone else just get the accuweather channel? Just got it this week on my cable package. Don't know yet if its better than the weather channel.
  16. I agree with that, that area is certainly different than where I work in central Mass and western Mass is a different market then cent Mass.
  17. Nice flurry in sturbridge earlier, whitened the ground and roads were slippery. Looked like winter.
  18. Dont know about 5 years, these boom periods generally last 5 years and we're almost 5 years now. People have short memories but I'll admit this latest boom is different
  19. If I knew that I'd be a millionaire, guess is this spring.
  20. We caught a lot of pike but I wouldn't eat them, was afraid to choke on a bone.
  21. Same here, more buyers than sellers, so if you sell your place for a nice price you have to pay for your new place and you have a lot of competition. If you could sell and find a rental or temporary place to live you could wait it out and buy back when things cool down. I;ve seen this cycle play out a few times in my career and it's always the same story albeit on a larger scale each time.
  22. Yeah, they made it much harder to break in, after you do all the course work you need to be a trainee and the problem is finding someone who has time to train you. There were plenty of appraisers back in the 2001-2005 boom but after the slowdown half of them left the profession. It was good for the one's that stayed because it was less volume but only 50% of appraisers still working. During that time they made the requirements much more stringent.
  23. When I was on vacation in Alaska I visited a gold mining place that taught you how to pan for gold and they had a room that they kept at -50 so you could experience what the miners did in the Yukon. Minus 50 hurts. I've experienced minus 35 once and that hurt right to your bones.
