  1. Yep. When that 1" snowfall causes a car to slide into a pole and knock the power out when it's 22° it quickly becomes "an event". When you can't flush for days because the well pump can't run it sux...
  2. Dude he called me out a couple of times We enjoyed each others company
  3. WWBB That's it! Boom haha that place was an unmoderated party LOL he blew up weekly.
  4. I guess I missed on the sarcasm. The wind there is terrible. I don't remember it being such a problem before that chair though but my memory may be clouded by rose colored lenses I'm saying, in general, I really miss surface lifts. You could always stay out skiing when they were everywhere, chairs also used to be much lower and below the top of the tree line so they could keep running longer. Just look at the phenomenal run the red chair had at Magic, that sucker hardly ever closed.
  5. When there's wind? Yeah... I love t-bars and pretty much all surface lifts except rope tows.
  6. One thing that really stands out to me is how few times there were more than one such storms in any particular year. It happened more in the last 18 years than the previous hundred.
  7. I could almost see it if the bay was frozen and the ocean slushed over like last year. A sand bar that holds no heat at all would actually become a heat sink a few feet above sea level.
  8. I'm just about 8 miles from where that Shrub Oak ob was taken and I got 2.6".
  9. Well, shoot. My wife and I have been debating whether or not to commit to a 2 day outdoor event (in the hills of Dutchess County) on 11/3-4 to kick off holiday sales for her new small business. I'm not comfortable pre-paying for a spot that may be cold and wet if this end of the month scenario plays out to the cold side which appears to be the consensus at the moment.
  10. Halloween will get snowed out again for the third time this decade.
  11. Yeah there can be significant differences in max depth and regular clearing amounts. Like was mentioned in that writeup, 30" was out of line.
  12. That 65 degree Xmas Eve a few years ago was wonderful. Mountain biking in shorts and t-shirts that night was something I'll never forget. There was a whole bunch of riders out hootin' and hollerin' and just having a big old time like it was mid summer. I wouldn't mind another one like that
  13. Very few of the old clubs were as successful much later than that either. At that point small shows had transitioned to theaters rather than clubs but there was still a strong bar band scene and very occasionally the bigger bands would show up for those bar shows.
  14. I remember that well, my neighbor didn't stop raving about it for days afterwards. That was a year or so before I started going there because they didn't like my fake id I remember that too. I also remember some of the incredible shows the club in Island Park used to get when we first moved to O'side in 1970. Most of the really great stuff, The Doors, Grateful Dead was slightly before that but until ~73 that place killed it. She used to live in Rockville Center right at the edge of the RVC Country Club. Nice house
  15. Oh man I saw some great stuff at Malibu. We used to walk in from the beach side and half the time never got asked for money. The Ramones and so many others... DSO is great. I used to see Jeff in small bars around LI over 30 years ago. 90.7 is still good but without Pete and Vin it's just not the same place it used to be.
  16. I miss so many of the old dj's. Vin Scelsa recently retired and Pete Fornatale died of an aneurysm so they're both gone from the air but there are a couple still working from the late 60's and 70's on Sirius/XM. Cousin Brucie is still on Wednesday and Saturday nights on channel 6, the 60's channel, and I listen to Carol Miller, Meg Griffin, Dusty Street and Jim Ladd regularly and I think that Dennis Elsas is still on the air here in NY. There's really nobody like Scottso though.
  17. I'd think that most of Great South Bay is too shallow for critters that big especially at low tide. Haha I bet it's sketchy being in a small boat and these things that are triple your size are around.
  18. A bird hit by a car in NY? I'm so surprised I know that I've seen some great birds along the barrier beaches and on Long Island golf courses over the years.
  19. That's fantastic. I can't imagine it ever having been like that back when I was growing up down there.
