He needs something to retain first.

Believe it or not, I’m still a member of one of those UVM email list serves that is used by municipal officials around the state. It still sees regular action, though not a ton. Mostly town clerks and state officials announcing thing like election workshops and days that flags are lowered to half staff.

It finally reached us after spitting on and off a lot of the afternoon. The ground has now been whitened.

How it started vs. How it's going

But "flatten the curve" isn't a one time thing though right? Don't you have to keep it flattened until we get to a position where there is combination of better treatment, vaccines and immunity? It doesn't do any good to flatten the curve for a month or two and then just let it go right? I would think we have to have some patience to get to that point.

Absolutely not. The question we discussed was whether to offer refunds to people from out of state who have already purchased season passes if travel restrictions get tighter. VT's travel restrictions and quarantine requirements have been pretty thoroughly discussed so I won't go over those again. The governor's office has considered snowmobiling an acceptable quarantine activity, meaning if you ride only with the people you came with and don't meet up with others or go into stores, restaurants, bars etc. you should be ok. That could change obviously and last night we decided that we weren't ready to give refunds yet but we will revisit the idea if restrictions become tighter.

@ORH_wxman just smashed his Commodore 64 in a fit of rage.

Lol. I thought that measuring stick was a sawed off birch at first.

Yup. Flakes flying and deck coated.

Was even graupeling in Montpelier when I went for my evening walk. A little bit raw feeling at 37° but not awful.

It has been early the last couple of years. I am usually teaching a snowmobile safety course the first Saturday in December and that seems to be around the time we start having snow stick around usually.

Everyone is avoiding the obvious culprit, October snow. We all knew when it happened that winter was doomed.

Weren't they suspected of a little bit of pump 'n' dump type activity earlier this year? Spreading a little premature or false news about their vaccine?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game played in rain that hard.

I don’t know if I have ever seen a game played in rain that hard.

35°, wind and rain. Pretty miserable night to be out.

I guess no surprises at in store today. I didn’t want to see DJ blow his lead but I was hoping for a little suspense. Tiger’s 10 was painful and I was glad to see Rory making a little bit of a run. All in all I’m glad they were able to play the tournament.

I was at deer camp at about the same elevation and we had the same thing. Didn’t last long but their were a few bouts.

And the catalogs

32° here.

Honestly, my 16 yo has adjusted pretty well. Of course he is by nature introverted but he interacts with friends from school online and we still did most normal things over the summer other than a big vacation. I understand he may be different than most kids but I think he is doing ok.

I think we have mentioned the crowd thing. As for the course, I’ve always loved it and am enjoying seeing more of the front 9 than usual.

Ok. So I've had the tournament playing on my second monitor this afternoon and I'm a little more excited. It's a beautiful course regardless of the time of year and as with most of the golf I've watched this year, I think I like it better without the galleries.

Paid $1.71/gal for a heating oil delivery yesterday. How does that compare to SNE?

Tiger starting strong currently tied for 3rd. 4 birdies and no bogeys through 13 holes. I still can't warm up to DeChambeau.
