I figured that the winter of 2017-18 has seemingly drawn its last breath so it would be time to fire up a NNE spring thread. All in all this past weekend was decent, with Saturday being a real beauty. I played in the VT Golf Association Spring 4 ball tournament and we even managed to miss the rain yesterday as it held off until we were done with our round. Below is a picture from the 12th tee at Equinox on Saturday.

As long as it spares Manchester, VT. Playing in a tournament there in the morning. Don’t want to be shut down.

No golf? WTF?

I can't see my lawn

Yeah but look how green it is.

Those E. MA guys are fine sprinters but PF, JSpin etc. are fine marathoners.

Probably the sentiment that has been expressed more times about more things than anything else in the history of AMWX/Eastern

That illustrates the two bands we saw on radar yesterday. That's a pretty good stripe up the eastern side of VT down through western MA and CT.

Apparently some mid level magic made its way to north central VT because have about 24". Pics below. Excuse the Ginx quality tape measure pic. It reads 20" when I took it at 7:00. The deck had been cleared after the last storm as had the other surfaces in the pics, including a large portion of the back yard. The snow was exceptionally light and airy. It was easy to wade through. Still snowing too.

While I was sitting at work in Montpelier watching a nice snowfall with 5”-6” or so by the time I left at 4:30, apparently there was something special happening here at home in Barre Town. I thing there is well over a foot that has fallen and it’s still just puking snow. I will post pics later. When I checked just before I left work, it looked like we were in the northern reaches of that band that stretched into CT, as PF had mentioned earlier. Wow, had expected less than this over a longer time frame. This is a surprise.

The worst of all worlds

He got more than some folks season average in one storm.

Ru Paul just deleted her account.

Man, would love to have Allenson back posting.

The same as it will likely be for the 2024 eclipse

3000 miles away from home and you boys are making me feel like I've never left.

Will be probably pretty steamy with all the rain and wet ground. Good times!

Not a Beatles fan per se but we will be going to the museum as I like some of their music and I get their place in rock and roll history. I love York. Yorkminster and the Shambles are great sites. I think my 13 year old son will like the Viking museum. The last time we were there was a few weeks after 9/11 and there was a memorial set up outside of the cathedral with messages of support from "Old" York to New York. It was pretty touching. I definitely plan on stopping by Huddersfield's stadium too. I would have loved to have been able to see a match but with the boy's school schedule and all, it just wasn't in the cards this year. I plan on taking the Anfield stadium tour. unfortunately, due to construction you aren't allowed in the Kop or on the pitch at this time. The Fenway Sports Group does a good job with the Fenway Park tours so I imagine they do well with the Anfield tours too.

My aunt & uncle and cousins live in the Huddersfield area which is between Manchester and Leeds. We have Britrail passes and plan on taking day trips to Liverpool (I want to see Anfield), York and and the moors.

Just checked, nothing but 60's through next Wednesday. We'll see after that. We fly in to Heathrow Sunday and stay in London until Wednesday and then head north to visit family until the 20th.

Not for me, I'll be in England all next week. Haven't officially checked but I don't believe that I'll see 90's over there.

Do you really need to be further back in the woods?

This would work well for me. We are leaving for England on the 10th and returning on the 20th

I'm actually rooting for you to be somehow, miraculously correct.
