  1. He was a welding fabricator, so it came natural to him. Nice not to have support posts in the garage. It's a 38x90 open space. The 2x8 walls is overkill, for sure. But I appreciate it.
  2. I agree. I'm on the top of a hill at about 940' and was out for three days after the 12/23/22 wind storm, and for 2 days a few weeks back. The previous owner built the house in 2003 with 24" steel i-beams and 2x8 exterior wall construction. I thought that was ridiculous until I lived here for a few months.
  3. Who wants to educate me? How does a snowpack limit winds from reaching the surface? Thks in advance.
  4. As a kid, Christmas Eve was always more exciting to me than Christmas day. The anticipation and potentiality was always more euphoric than the actual event (even if i got exactly what I expected!). Hunters & sport fishermen often experience some degree of the same, I am told. The thrill is in the chase.
  5. I remember that well. A few dozen cars on Rt 6 in Woodbury that slid off the side of the road or couldn't make it up even the shallowest incline. It was very bizarre. A lot of people who know they can't handle snow don't drive. And when they get caught off guard, they panic.
  6. Let me tell you, mine is in the barn shoved behind two riding lawnmowers, a tractor, and a stack of 8 foot pressure treated 6x6's . And the guy that does the main driveway texted me this morning and said the hydraulics on his plow are busted. So that alone guarantees a positive bust by 4-6 inches.
  7. I remember the Bills and Colts in 2017. 17 inches fell. 8 inches fell on the field during play. Snowiest game I can recall.
  8. Probably. Mom's has lingered for three weeks. They both tested positive for RSV antibodies. It's all over the place down here in western CT. The clue is that it's course is quite different than the classic cold or COVID.
