Well it seems the trough misses to the east a bit now.  The deepest of the cold is over the area today.  The upper low is moving through NE CT and NW RI right now in a few hours it will be south of Block Island and this will swing the band southward and out to sea.  I expect the NWS to cancel the Winter Weather Advisory.  I am skeptical about the FEB 1-3 2021 event being snow on the Cape.

So close...

First teens this winter on the shoreline.  Wonder if all my plants that were sprouting and leafing out will make it. Took this picture last weekend as my roses were leafing out. 

Fidelity's ap and website is crashing now as everyone is trying to leave RH and join.

Huge class action lawsuit incoming. I had trades for NAKD cancelled.   from Twitter  Robinhood just shorted their own IPO. 

If there's ever a doubt how rigged this market is, theres no greater example than today. 

My Fidelity ap hasnt blocked anything. 

People are reporting on WSB that Robin Hood is blocking purchases of BB, AMC, GME. Can they actually do that?

WSB is still up and running on reddit. I just checked on the reddit ap. Its members are up to 3.8 million now as well.

Tootsie Roll anyone?  Lol. This is funny

Are they targeting that one as well? I actually bought a bunch of that stock like 10 years ago. 

My sister sent me this last night from Boston. Check out all these dog weenies enjoying the snow. 

Its ripping down here on the water in the lovely  city of Bridgeport.....

There is a "pack" that hangs out around our neighborhood...they were howling just the other night, right in our backyard. I have yet to see them during the day, they are amazing to see though. It kinda reminds you that there is still some "wild" left in this area

We have a crazy neighbor that feeds a pack from her deck every morning and evening. Everyone in the neighborhood is furious with her but there is nothing that can be done. Its apparently legal in CT to feed wildlife from private property. The DEP actually suggested killing them as there are like zero hunting restrictions on them. 

I carry my pistol on me and have been waiting for them to cross my path when I am walking my dog. My wife isn't into guns but the DEP said an air horn is very effective so she carrys one.

My bostons don’t go far and I have my 55lb boxer to protect them...though she’ll prob think the coyote is here to play lol. I’ll keep an eye out though, thanks. 

Watch out for Bobcats. This was in Southbury. At least the guy killed it with a fireplace log...

If you're someone who's not a fan of cold weather, chances are you won't be taking any trips to the Russian city of Yakutsk anytime soon. The city is currently in the midst of an abnormally long period of harsh subzero cold that is considered unusual even for Siberia's standards.

The temperature in portions of the Yakutia region of eastern Russia, where Yakutsk is located, dropped below 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (40 degrees below zero Celsius) during the middle of December and hasn't climbed above that level since -- making this one of the longest stretches of subzero cold in at least 14 years, according to The Associated Press.

Outside of a brief "warmup" to around 24 below zero F (31 below zero C) for the first couple of days of January, the city of Yakutsk, located just south of the Arctic Circle, has recorded both high and low temperatures below 30 below zero F (34 below zero C) since Dec. 8, 2020.

Bulbs are popping up all over my yard..... what a winter 

Down here on the CT shoreline its like full on spring. I picked some fresh mint last night from my deck herb garden. Its been an absolute furnace here.

Sideways but you get the idea. 

My dog would love to find out. He's half Dachshund and would be in that hole in an instant .

Looks like there are stones around it so probably an old well or outhouse pit.

Not necessarily lol...

It's full on spring down here on the shoreline.  Tulips are coming up...

It’s all on the other side of the pole. And with no snow cover, it won’t be getting cold unless things change. More and more things are starting to awake in terms of plant life. We’ve had zero bitter cold this winter when even our warmest winters at least have a brief shot or two. It’s been a sneaky torch. 
At this point, it’s good to start getting outdoor stuff done. Already cleaned up my backyard again. Onto the front soon.

It's over. Nature has always been a solid indicator of what's coming....

Cool picture of an American Marten taken in Crawford Notch. Nice to see them making a comeback up in NNE. I believe they were once common in most of New England. Most of the population is up north in Canada now. 

Good to see CT doing well with the vaccine.

Where do you live...Florida?  Leaves emerging on a dogwood tree in January?  Not here where I live.  No plants coming up here either.
 

 Maybe down on the shoreline?  Not here in inland CT. No buds that are ready to burst, and certainly no leaves either that’s for sure.  
 

But enjoy the early green up... 

I live on the shoreline. Might drop some Lesco today to deal with all these dandelions and wild onions popping up on the lawn.

Yup, same here

It's crazy. Plants are so confused. My dog was just sniffing out our dogwood tree. I looked and it has buds and the leaves are emerging...

Well.. I’d recommend folks begin their spring cleanups this weekend. Grass never went dormant so there will be no spring green up this year. It’s already green. Maybe drop first round of fert , rake, blow leaves etc. 

Dandelions have been popping up here on the shoreline all winter.

GE is around $11/share right now.  Up from its lows around $5/share.  It was around $30+/share just a few years ago.

GE has a GE renewable energy division that might do really well the next few years. They make turbine blades, batteries, hydroelectric parts, solar, etc. That stuff is going to explode the next decade.

All the New England states have legislation to reduce GHG by 80% by 2050. Massachusetts lost to California last year as having the best in the nation energy efficiency polices. They held the number 1 spot for 9 years. The other New England states are also in the top 10. We have so many incredible incentives for Solar, heat pumps, heat pump water heaters etc. I seen any investment in that renewable energy sector doing really well.
