  1. I have; no blinding AM sun, no snow to slide around in, rain keeps many pedestrians/bikes/runners inside, on and on.  On top of that it's a holiday week so traffic is down.  It's awesome!

    Hating sun and pedestrians is a new one
  2. You guys are talking about a White Christmas, I had just looked a bunch of historical odds on this. I have mentioned this before, but no idea why Boston doesnt do snow depth anymore since 2003. Stations in the box nws are literally the ONLY ones I can find anywhere (of places that get snow) that dont do snow depth. 
     
    White Christmases in Detroit are pretty much 50/50 (officially 47%), and the last 20 years saw 10 white, 10 not...2022, 2020, 2017, 2016, 2012, 2010, 2008, 2005, 2004, 2003. Bostons historical probability shows 1 in 4 Christmases should be white, yet they have only probably had 2 in the past 20 years (based on what you guys said). It seems more flukey than anything that snowfall increased and white christmases disappeared during the 2000s/10s.

  3. I can't help it, I'm a social person and nothing like a good browse through a book store.

    I am very much not a social person and there is still nothing better than browsing a good book store.

  4. I took advantage of the furnace this week to put up outside lights. Nothing worse than doing in rain or cold . We host Tgiving so my wife insists pumpkins stay up until Friday each year. Good luck to the frozen fingers of folks putting up lights this coming weekend . 

    Yeah I put the lights up on a warm November weekend every year, but don’t turn them on until after Thanksgiving.
