  1. @dryslot @WinterWolf check out the tracks. It’s time to start thinking about sledding. Edit: lol. I guess I should have read further down the thread. I was ninja'd!
  2. But DIT said it would be a hayfield. You’re not saying he’s not always accurate are you?
  3. How much mowing did you have when you got back from Africa?
  4. We’ve had a few clearances to make while setting up trails. I actually thought it was going to be worse than it was.
  5. We had a break from picking our son up for a few years. In 5th through 8th grade he walked the 1.5 miles home on the rec path that runs across the street from us. My wife would drop him off in the morning and he’d walk home in all sorts of weather. When he got to high school it was back to dropping off and picking up. No sidewalks or rec paths to his high school from here.
  6. Now you’ve done it. DIT is going to be all over your “where people live and work” comment. We will never hear the end of it.
  7. The freezing fog the last couple of mornings has been unreal. It was so thick in St. J this morning that it was flurrying down in the valley.
  8. 20.4° For the low at my house but I did see 19° on the car thermo while driving this morning. More freezing fog and here in St. Johnsbury there was light snow/fog
  9. I read this article and am still unsure what the passing of this amendment means
  10. Not sure where sensor 6 is but glad we’re not there!
  11. I'm not familiar with the Maine issue but if I were to hazard a guess, at least some of it must have been driven by stories like this. There have been many instances of companies patenting seeds and then suing farmers who save seeds from crops they've grown for re-use. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/feb/12/monsanto-sues-farmers-seed-patents
  12. Pretty much the same scene here at my house. Lol
  13. And all we've seen is partly cloudy skies
  14. It isn't that simple though. Look at the list of people opposing the project, there are some strange bedfellows. Also, as I mentioned in a previous post, Hydro-Quebec isn't exactly an innocent, clean energy producer. Here is a link to the Natural Resources Council of Maine's take on how environmentally friendly Hydro-Quebec is. https://www.nrcm.org/news/hydro-quebec-offers-misleading-claims-powers-climate-impact/
  15. The article that Tuna linked seems like a pretty decent explanation of the conflicting views. The Conservation Law Foundation supports the project while the Sierra Club opposes it. The other thing is not everyone believes Hydro-Quebec is all that environmentally conscious. They've flooded millions of acres of forest that has released tons of carbon and methane into the atmosphere. The article points out that a bill was introduced a couple of years ago that would have required an independent assessment of any claimed impacts on climate change that was defeated after heavy lobbying by Central Maine Power. It's a pretty complex mix of parties opposed to the project.
  16. Hmmm, a couple of longtime weather people just retired from the local CBS and NBC affiliates. The CBS one is all set but maybe the NBC affiliate made him an offer that allowed him to move up?
  17. Will the notch be closed by morming?
  18. Now that I think about it, I actually think that is a MPM 39. That's how he avoided reaching 90. "Only hit 89.7, a cool summer day in GC!"
  19. Same here. Unfortunately that doesn't translate to 0 candy eaten
