  1. Ah, no. People don't go to hospitals seasonally. You really think people say hey it's fall, let's go to the ER? Please. What you need to look at are the ICU capacity numbers. Places like Texas, not good. You got a heart attack or something there, you're pretty much on your own. Beds taken up by Covid patients. Hey, but the economy.
  2. Schenectady got whacked pretty good. I am really surprised the old maple in front of my house and the giant poplars in back stayed upright. Stuff was banging off the house for about ten minutes there. We were lucky, our neighbor had to move her elderly parents down to their friend's house because the big oak that was in front of their house is now on top of it. Trees snapped off all over the place, my wife came back in from her walk this morning and said she was zigzagging down different streets because trees and wires are still on the usual ones. There's one pretty big branch a few houses down that looks to be about six inches in diameter at the base that is all the way across the yard from the tree it came from. It was howling for about ten minutes there. I'm really surprised we have power this morning considering what the outage map looked like last night but there's still power out all over the place around me. I think it also took out cell towers for a while because last night I had about no service and this morning I'm back to four bars.
  3. When I was a kid what I can remember is being on the tail end of the dry years in the 60s and watching the only rain around being the thunderstorms channeling down the Ottaquechee Valley two ridges north. It happens.
  4. 64 degrees on the bike ride this morning. Downright chilly.
  5. I have to figure the ADK park rangers had an over/under bet going on how many frozen unprepared hikers they'd be rescuing today. Cotton kills....
  6. That tornado warning east of Saratoga is right where they got a foot of snow, what like a week ago.
  7. Looking at the observation thread makes me wonder how much of this region got pretty much all of their seasonal snowfall total in fall and spring with nothing to speak of during winter?
  8. Depends what direction the camera is pointing, it might simply be pasted over. Snowing horizontally at the moment. Went out to fill the bird feeder and in three minutes I was completely coated on the upwind side.
  9. Ah, that's better. Just flipped over to snow about five minutes ago in Schenectady. Was some freezing rain there for a little while, the pines are a little bit glazed.
  10. So close... 30 degrees and raining in Schenectady
  11. A few years ago my brother's kids were at the Nordic JOs in Truckee and we went out to yell encouragement. It was like 70 degrees out. I was standing talking to my nephew fretting about whether the snow would survive. He laughed. He said see how we step off this deck down about six inches on to the snow? This deck is about 12 feet off the ground. He said the biggest problem was figuring out what wax to use at those temperatures plus how not to fall over from heat exhaustion while racing...
  12. Ice but not enough to bend the trees halfway down the hill to Keene Valley on 74 all through the valley until going back up to Chapel Pond. 47 degrees in Lake Placid when we left, 30 degrees in Keene and 45 again cresting the hill at the other side. The Ausable was about 6 inches lower than the road, state police hanging out at each end, in case it rose any more I guess.
  13. Apparently tapping out this early is the norm, I don't know they keep the taps from drying out but it is all pipeline. A run this early, though, I've never heard of.
  14. My niece's husband in Underhill has 4600 taps out and will probably boil Monday, gallon per tap so far at 1.3.
