Just issued today.

BDR hit 79 yesterday.

Looks like BDR's 79 was the high for CT.

Turned out to be a pretty epic day with full sun..

Great morning to enjoy the leaf out..

I saw it in the Dead Creek Wildlife Management Area on 17 in Addison. Ended up being an awesome location.

Yeah. I just got in. Took about 5 hours from Middlebury. My friend said it took 11 hours from Burlington to CT yesterday. Was crazy seeing all the out of state license plates. Tons of people from CA, Oregon, Washington, etc.

Here's a nice quake damage picture for you from my aunt in Randolph NJ.

If anyone plans on taking 91 there was a bridge being replaced in Massachusetts when I drove up there for skiing Presidents day weekend. On the way back Monday there was a huge delay coming home at that bridge with everyone heading home where it went to 1 lane. I imagine the traffic there is going to be nuts with people heading south after the eclipse.

Property taxes in VT are outrageous compared to upstate NY. There are going to be huge increases next year in VT property taxes. Have you looked at the property taxes in Manchester and Dover compared to the Albany area? A new estimate puts the projected average property tax bill increase next year at more than 20%. https://vtdigger.org/2024/01/30/as-new-data-shows-property-taxes-could-rise-even-higher-than-expected-legislators-mull-their-options/#:~:text=A new estimate puts the,local property tax rate increases.

I'll be just south of BTV for it at my friend's. Saw this posted on a Facebook page. Does this seem somewhat possible? Haha

The palms are loving this weather.. Those daffodils broke ground Feb 7th..

Yeah. Who the fuck complains about energy efficency susbdies...?

Hydrangeas leafing out as well.

Incredible early leaf out here. Weeping Willows and maples will be leafed out in another week or so.

No. I believe they used federal DOT funding. State Incentives Vermont's National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Planning The U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) NEVI Formula Program requires the Vermont Agency of Transportation (AOT) to submit an annual EV Infrastructure Deployment Plan (Plan) to the DOT and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office), describing how the state intends to distribute NEVI funds. The submitted plans must be established according to NEVI guidance(PDF). https://afdc.energy.gov/laws/all?state=VT

If anyone in VT is looking to go electric for a vehicle the rebates up there are the best in the US. This is from a recently purchased f150 lighting. Green Mountain Power is also offering charging at significantly reduced rates of .13 kwh. The math works out at those rates that the savings over gas are astronomical.

From Don Sutherland on the NYC forum. Under variably cloudy skies and the lack of an onshore breeze, coastal sections saw the mercury rise to daily records. Daily record highs included: Bridgeport: 72° (old record: 65°, 1990) Islip: 73° (old record: 67°, 1990) New Haven: 65° (old record: 61°, 2022) New York City-JFK Airport: 72° (old record: 65°, 1986) Westhampton: 69° (old record: 62°, 2014)

Were you up there in 2007? I lived in BTV in 05-07 when my wife was finishing up at UVM. We were just reminiscing about a freezing cold St Patrick's day party in 07 back when BTV actually got cold... haha I'm so glad I got to experience that winter up there including that Valentines day storm. The amount of subzero temps that winter was nuts. I don't think I'll ever experience a winter like that again. .

Look at midsized trucks. I bought a Ford Ranger last year. Looked at the Tacoma's and Colorados as well. Awesome little truck that even my wife can drive. 4cyl turbo that often gets around 26 mpg. @Damage In Tolland nothing but clean trucks down here..

What a run on crypto.. thoughts@moneypitmike?

Daffodils were sprouting here on Feb 7th..

Thanks for the info. I found a YouTube video from the area. Seems like an insane area to ski by yourself. So the skier fell into something like at 35 seconds into the youtube video?
