  1. Yeah, was very surprised to wake up to 35 degrees . . . but not complaining! Ready for Morch, but sure I will be disappointed.
  2. The whisky thread is much tastier. Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk
  3. Never heard of it, but looks fabulous! Let's do it. Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk
  4. I only go for the peaty smokey flavor in the fall and winter; seems perfect then. Once spring rolls around, I move onto Speyside or Highland. Never quite sure what to have in the summer, but the Balvenie Caribbean Cask has been my choice the last couple of years.
  5. Went to the distillery as well. Was with my wife and father-in-law who don't like scotch so I go all 3 samples! Funniest thing was while we were there a school group also cam through for a tour. Strange to see, but whisky is such a big part of their ehos and economy.
  6. I like Oban but I'm not sure I've had the 14 year old. Heading to England in a few weeks, and there is a great whisky bar near where I am staying. I'll have to check it out. Have you tried Balvenie? They make some excellent specialty ones aged in port casks, sherry casks and rum casks.
  7. Totally agree about Skye! Absolutely gorgeous and some insane weather at times. Was there in June about 15 years ago and there was a storm battering the west coast and I could barely walk into the wind.
  8. The Storm is definitely not as good as the traditional 10 year old, but if my wife buys me a bottle by mistake I won't send it back. Any Highland favorites? I've found some good Highland Parks and I also like Glenmorangie.
  9. For winter weather, go single malt. Can't beat Talisker - smooth, smoky and peaty from the Isle of Skye.
  10. I know you are just trolling and stirring up shit, but your act gets real tired. You can keep the havoc on the roads to your hilltop and let the other 98% of us drive safely!
  11. Maybe an inch with a crust on top in Randolph. 31 and freezing drizzle when I left for the train. Screw winter, bring on spring!
  12. Works for me. Get it out of the way before I fly to England on the 7th!
  13. Haven't been out to measure, but eyeballing about 5" in Randolph. Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk
  14. I thought that was the last one, but entirely possible that my old brain is misremembering.
  15. Yeah, I remember Ginx tracking the upper level low dropping down and Messenger doing the PBP that evening. Also remember how that one came in two waves and how Saturday evening you could actually see the moonshine and a lot of folks were calling bust. My avatar is from that Sunday afternoon and at that point you could not even see the 42" fence at the back of our yard.
  16. Wow! I forgot how EMA centered that last blizzard in the series was. We had about 18" in that one, but with the wind and what was already on the ground it was almost impossible to tell really.
  17. I'm perfectly fine if it is over. This winter has just been annoying, and I am really ready for spring. Never would have said this years ago, but I've now lived thru the Blizzard of 78 and the 2015 Snowpocalypse . . . ground zero for both. Almost 65 now, and for me I either want the big storm or nothing at all. 4 inches of snow, sleet and freezing rain time after time does nothing for me. My only fear now is that this year's big one will arrive on March 7th when I am flying to England.
  18. Yeah, my 3+ inches of snow and sleet was already down to about 2 inches of snow and slush this morning after overnight rain with temps in mid to upper 30s. Didn't even bother to clear the driveway, and could already see the pavement thru the slush in some spots. Gonna go fast south of Boston!
  19. For this miserable winter you need stronger stuff . . . I'd go with a good single malt and some early Richard Thompson to get you in the mood.
  20. Took 1:30 train out of the city. Roads south of Boston were already snow covered an hour ago. Traffic looks horrendous now. Over an inch now in Randolph. Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk
