I LOVE seeing someone else who gets Christmas trees that are NOT sheared. Every year both myself and my mom cut down trees that are left in their natural untouched state. I love the old-fashioned look to an unsheared tree, and decorate it to look vintage as well.

 

You put candles on the trees too for that authentic colonial look?

That was a good price.

That's a real good price. One for you, one for him?

Gotta love the toaster bath at the end of the GFS op. Grinch comes a couple of days late this year.

It was a deep freeze the last few runs and those were wrong, these might be wrong too.

The picture was Pit1 in Shelburne.  Pit1 is now in westborough (though my wife wants to move to the Cape).

Pit2 is up in Bath, ME.  I'm up there every chance I get, and I can't wait to retire/semi-retire and get up there full time.

So you going for a Pit 3 or selling one?

8 years in GC had a different vibe.  Only sorry looking piles of snow here at Pit2.

 

 

Where's Pit 1 and where's Pit 2, this house looks like Pit1 but not sure how you're designating each house.

10F  Meh.   Anyone old enough to remember the winters of yore?   I had about 15 nights below zero up here.  I think Concord NH had around ten.  Growing up in the 1960s and 1970s  it was fairly common to have -20F and -30F nights in NNE with good radiational cooling.

In 94 I had 7 nights below zero with back-to-back -20 nights. Ice on the ponds were thick that year for ice fishing.

16 now, will be lower than this morning, ponds have solid ice. Now just need some snow.

Gonna be a cold one tonight. already down to 22 degrees.

Where is everyone?  Garth and I seem to be the only ones here 

Beat me to it, today would have been good for me but I know this time of the year is hard for everyone.

Nice little airmass. Barely over 32° today and a cold night on tap. Now at 22.7° and dropping. Could be the coldest night of the season so far. Pretty nice with all the holiday lights up. 

Edit: 22.0° seven minutes later

Im down to 22 also, every time I look its dropped another degree or two.

Hey you Mainers, don't you eat that yellow snow, or brown snow.

Brown snow falls over Maine town; officials warn against touching, eating it

Seems like the Sox offseason FA wise, so far....interest in everything, delivery on nothing. 

Did you miss the trade for Crochet?

Boy do I remember this one. I was in my early thirties... I worked in West Hartford, but lived in Somers, Connecticut. I was one of those people stuck in the traffic, but the roads were horrific. We were bumping each other on 91 North heading into Windsor. My heart was racing, and I basically had a anxiety attack on my ride home. It took me 6 and 1/2 hours to get home. I'll never forget that storm.

I remember it too but I was lucky and didn't have to go out on appts that day, so I watched it from the comfort of my warm office with a wood stove cranking.

93 was pretty epic as I recall. That's the year NYC closed the bridges for de-icing on several occasions. I think a pedestrian died from falling ice on a bridge. Snow on the ground for weeks IIRC.

Yeah, 92-93 and 93-94 were both great, 94-95 sucked big time but a great rebound for 95-96 was the best.

I recall 4-6" on the South Coast one Christmas morning in the early to mid 90s but can't recall which one.maybe Will knows. If I had to guess Dec 93 or 94? 

Must have been 93, 94 was terrible, one storm all year.

I remember that night -14 in Springfield then we got a warm up right after.
