  1. I had glasses from 2017 but ordered more for the family so nobody would fight over them......I ordered them Friday and they came today......so you got time.....
    I got them from https://www.3dglassesonline.com/
    Probably paid too much but whatever........I still had the ones I bought 7 years ago and ordered 3 more for the family this time......can't wait....
     
    Test out your glasses ahead of time, l hear there's a lot of fakes being sold. No sense in blinding your family.

  2. Just got done driving home from the southern Maine Coast. Pretty cool to see how truly elevation dependent this snow is.

    That being said, I'm higher up than Fitchburg, but they've got more snow.

    Being the weenie that I am, I take solace in the fact that while areas closer to the coast may sometimes jackpot over areas in the far interior, I retain snow better. Prior to today's snow, I had only some exposed patches of lawn. Probably 80% coverage. Fitchburg, Leominster, 495? Bare ground...

  3. Pretty much. I-81 was at a standstill through much of Virginia on my way to and from Greenville in 2017. I think most experts expect even higher travel rates for this one.
    Yeah looking at that now. ... Every Friday evening in winter traffic on my local highway is a shitshow of NY, CT, MA, and RI drivers headed north to ski country. Every Sunday it's the same as they go home. Everything I'm seeing now is that it's going to be 20x worse.

    Here in New England, with every major metropolitan area South of totality, heading north will be impossible unless you get there by dawn the day of. Same with heading home.

    ... So if the weather in the northeast will be cloudy and I have to head west for what would normally be a 12hr drive, I need to make that call by Friday and be in the road Saturday morning for a Monday eclipse. Ugh.

    We haven't seen anything like this in the northeast for 30 years. I think the average person will have no idea how bad traffic will be. Many will miss it stuck in traffic like Woodstock. Lol

  4. I'm headed to Bermuda the following week so I can't make a full-fledged trip out of it. It's going to be a last minute decision of anywhere between Houlton, me and Indianapolis, depending on potential cloud cover. Good news is I have lodging covered at both extremes if need be.

    I'll be praying for the summit of Deer Scrotum a few miles over yonder from Berkshire park.

    I could live with that....it doesn't need to be 20" to 5" like 12/92.....I can deal with "10-3"....I've come a long way in my willingness to share the wealth.

    Lol.  Don't kid yourself.

  6. People are saying you can tell a lot about someone if they both, put up and turn on outdoor Christmas lights in mid-November. I’m not the one saying it, but people are talking.
     
    Lol. I put up my outdoor lights today and turned them on. I love the look of Christmas lights and snow.

  7. Forgot to post pics of my club' annual Veterans' Day tourney that has evolved into a greens keeper's revenge.

    Super fun time as always. Between putting the tees where they're in the middle of building a new tee box to parking a mower right over the cup, things were pretty silly.d7eb9fccaef743a576bfbbda72a23cbd.jpg14f3b8f7e0fa7013156a08b41bddc9d0.jpg8831308c5d3e706616581ddc5358a809.jpgc4062065e13d6a16cd202ae6d31b461e.jpg019d1a5f6ab66577becfd5b21a918d3f.jpgd42c432f2316cb877c5a6f2298102636.jpg

    There's a new mesonet site? I've been longing for one since pdfamily went down years ago.
