Fire up the sled and take her around the yard before the rain.

I think by the end of the month northern NE will have a nice pack for the sledders.

Do you close it up for the winter?

I was just thinking.....when have they ever had this so far in advance?

It's been a long snow drought last few years, everyone's excited and breaking all the rules.

Looks like a lot of southern NE will get a net gain from the 1/10 storm. We could start building a pack in the next week.

That was the storm where it was below 0F and snowing

 

 

I like those storms where we get a moderate event, but the temp stays around 10 for the duration.

Snapper soup is awesome.  I grew up in rural Delwer.

I like snapper but never tried turtle soup.

Even if it's a smaller event, the ground will be white, and my snow removal muscles will get a light workout for the bigger ones to come.

Did wolfie swing by to eat it?

I ate a squirrel once, my father grew up during the great depression and they used to eat squirrel and turtle, taste like chicken.

So we are already on to the Jan 10 storm? What happened to the one that was supposed to be coming this weekend?

 

It's on a separate thread, still on.

We checked this out on snowmobile last year really cool.Its a village they build on the river.We we're there on a weekday so it was not busy sounds like the weekend is busy.Carnival atmosphere.

I looked at pics, they have restaurants out there and they supply everything, the cost isn't bad either, sounds like a fun time that I want to try one year, and I've always wanted to go to Winter Carnival in Quebec, my sister went a couple years ago and said it was a good time.

Almost 150 geese and some ducks...Geese are feasting in the very green for early January grass. Never seen this many here at once. Maybe a sign that weather is going to change.

You seem to like cod, ever think of doing this? I plan on getting up there one year, no ice yet this year but they seem to think by mid Jan they'll have the huts on the river.

This kind of answered my question but I'd like clarification please.

I booked a room in Lake George NY for April 7-9, so I'll be less than an hour from the south edge of the path of totality. If I only drive to the southern edge is the 100% totality just seconds long then as opposed to right in the center where it will be 3-4 minutes?

 

Check this interactive map, just click on where you're staying and it will give you all kinds of info.

This article might explain it, if your close to the center, it's worth the drive.

Get some snow in here and worry about rain later.

This would be ok if it works out

Parking at Citifield is now 40 dollars

$40 and $50 at Fenway, that's why I take the T in, much cheaper and I don't have to drive through traffic.

Two 16oz can of beers at the hockey game last night…$20 each  

That's what I paid for a 16oz beer at the Colorado Rockies ballpark and it was through a machine, no people involved.

Agreed. I occasionally check out the Levi ski resort web cams over there to look at what a real winter wonderland looks like.

Absent Powderfreaks winter pictures that what we have to look at, hopefully PF has some good snow pics soon.

Yeah looking at that now. ... Every Friday evening in winter traffic on my local highway is a shitshow of NY, CT, MA, and RI drivers headed north to ski country. Every Sunday it's the same as they go home. Everything I'm seeing now is that it's going to be 20x worse.

Here in New England, with every major metropolitan area South of totality, heading north will be impossible unless you get there by dawn the day of. Same with heading home.

... So if the weather in the northeast will be cloudy and I have to head west for what would normally be a 12hr drive, I need to make that call by Friday and be in the road Saturday morning for a Monday eclipse. Ugh.

We haven't seen anything like this in the northeast for 30 years. I think the average person will have no idea how bad traffic will be. Many will miss it stuck in traffic like Woodstock. Lol

I'm anticipating heavy traffic which is why I wanted to go up the day before and spend the night, since the eclipse is in the afternoon, I would stay that night too. Not only is everyone booked but they charged an arm and a leg. The only way around it is to leave very early that day and hopefully not everyone else gets the same idea. I might stay at my sisters in Maine and cut some time off for the early morning drive. It would really suck though if I spent a few hundred to stay a couple nights and it was totally cloudy. I guess I could try and chase it but that may be tough.
