Ya his wording was F’d up…I couldn’t  understand it either what he was trying to say. It wasn’t expressed clearly at all.  

I got it, he just wanted to know what we don't want to see.

I saw a show on tv about the triangle, satan worshippers, puckwudgies all sorts of weird stuff happening there.

Boxing day was a good storm here. Must have had a foot and a half or so.

Not so good here, I think it started as graupel and then light snow, think I ended up with maybe 5-6 inches while to the west and east got hammered.

They actually lean in off the plank and eat the sunflower seeds. Sometimes I find the plank knocked over and the seeds emptied with only shells left on top of water and ground . Nothing makes me more angry.  I absolutely lose it. I hate them 

Shoot him and fry him up for dinner.

Beer burgers are good!

Venison can be excellent. 
I’ve had bison, giraffe, ostrich, alligator, zebra, rabbit, duck, fermented shark(blah), the aforementioned bear, prob some others I can’t recall.  

Where the hell did you get Giraffe and Zebra? I don't eat beef, only Bison which is much tastier and leaner.

I’m very skeptical we’ve seen the bottom. Anything is possible, but if QT stays on autopilot, I have a hard time seeing sustained gains. We haven’t had a real blowout in credit spreads yet or a crescendo of equity selling. Very orderly year. This feels a bit like 2000-2002 so far. Protracted bear with a lot of big countertrend rallies and false starts. Markets also tend to bottom after the Fed goes into an easing cycle, not while they’re still hiking. I don’t think they’re going to back down from talking tough on inflation either. Powell doesn’t want to be Burns reincarnated. 
 

I’d also add that crushing economic activity through hikes and a strong dollar suppresses oil demand and may be a sneaky way for our government to undermine Russia’s ability to fund its war. 

2000-2002 was also a good time to by precious metal stocks, I've been purchasing at these rock bottom prices.

Nope. Had a touch of frost on the rooftops but that's it. Lower and more rural spots have been below 32. But it takes more than a couple of frosts to stop the grass. It may be slow, but still grows.

I remember one year it was still growing in December, very slow but still growing.

They’re good eating…used to eat them all the time growing up.  Need about 6-7 for a good meal for a family of four. 

I used to hunt them as a kid and just had to try one, it wasn't bad, bet they make a good stew. Not sure if the weather has had some effect but I have a colony of squirrels in my yard every day.

Just got home from customer visits and find this. With zero acorns this year.. squirrels are tearing shit up.

They're leaving hickory nut shells all over the place in my yard.

Dec10-Jan11 is the best stretch of winter experienced. Just big dawg after big dawg. No pennies, all benjis. It faded in Feb but the damage was done.

The pack stuck around all of Feb, had an icy top, my puppy at the time use to run on top of the deep pack, even I could walk on top after a while.

Yeah, short term is fine but we still need more rain.

Me and my wife walk every weekend near the dam in town, the water's risen quite a bit from where it was a couple months ago but it's still low based on years past.

Looking at the map there looks like a multi family home that is split by the border, that would mean the people in front are in Canada and the people in back Vermont. How tough could it be to walk around the building or vice versa?

The warmth and sun are bringing large numbers of Asian lady beetles to the front of my house. 
We had thousands of them when we first bought our house in the late 1990s. They haven’t been as bad since but they are showing up today

I hate them

I golfed in Leicester this past week and there were a ton of lady bugs around, I kept brushing them off my clubs and golf bag. They'll be in my house soon, not sure how they get in but they do.

You guys did great that winter. Are you sure aren’t thinking of another winter?

I'm thinking of the winter of the snowicane where we got rain and NYC got nailed.

Planning a trip with friends to the Berks mid January. Any tips on best towns/cities to check out or stay closest to? 
 

 

Mt Greylock is a nice trip if the roads still open, some decent restaurants in that area too.

Yeah I don’t understand the anti La Niña sentiment among snow weenies especially NYC north. The negative PDO just means the Nina is coupled or acting like a Nina right? If so then yeah the PDO will probably negative again this year because we have a La Niña and the MEI is -1.8. That will probably drop some but if the models have the right idea the Nina should be well coupled and act like a Nina, which really isn’t anything to be afraid for weenies NYC north. Didnt pretty much everywhere NYC north get buried 2010-2011? My area got around double our average snowfall that year.

Your area got nailed that year, we were right on the edge or just out for the big ones.

Marvin Hagler would run on the beach in work boots with a rope around his waist dragging a tire.

Manny Ramirez used to that too, not sure of the work boots though, steroids helped too I guess.

Well 2 epic storms but I'd take other winters over that winter. 

I'd take 2015 over 78 if it happened earlier in the winter otherwise I'd take a biggie like 78. The bad thing about the 78 blizzard is we got shutout after that one, the whole pattern changed after that storm, probably because of the storm.

I only got to play the course once, as we had moved to Brooklyn shortly before it closed.  But I use the range across the street all the time.  I've chatted with the all 3 parties involved in the course/property/restaurant relationship over the years, and it's interesting to hear the different sides to the story.  It would be good to see it stay as a field or go back to farmland at some point.

There's a closed golf course near me, it's a great place to take a walk with my dog.

I can’t imagine loving snow so much, and sleeping through all time events or pre blizzard model runs. 
 

I mean, you’d think you’d make an exception a few times a year?

Wow, that looks like an absolute toaster bath for the Connecticut River Valley. 

I went to work in Agawam the next day and no one at work believed what we had in Southern Worcester County till I showed them the pics I took. The ground was bare in Springfield/Agawam.

I'll be there, get to meet Will finally. Hopefully we have a good pattern at the time.

That early in the day should be fine for parking.  There is a lot right next to the building.

The street in back usually has a ton of spots open too.

I won’t forget that game.   

The game they blew them away? I think I just got some flakes here, nothing like Foxboro.
