  1. Well you can do many things. If it is enjoyable doing it makes sense. If it’s a pain and not how you would want to spend your spare time, ask yourself the value of your time. Ultimately it comes down to affordability. If I could afford it I’d have a limo take me to my private jet waiting on the tarmac but I can’t.
  2. That’s what I was referring to! Glaringly different this year it seems. Thanks Will!
  3. A dramatic difference between this year and 2010-11 in the graphic Steve posted is the ssta off of Newfoundland. I forget what that is called but the late Jack, a founder of SV correlated the winter with those anomalies in May. In any case, it’s glaringly different and MAY be signaling a ratter-not sure....great snow winter Ninas vs this year are glaring in that area.
  4. Are you referring to the stratosphere? How would AN SST affect that?
  5. The reference started casually. When I was in college (my graduation from undergraduate college was 1969), one of the guys in the dorm when referring to something distasteful said “This blows dead rats”. I used the term for one of the low snow winters on these boards maybe 15-16 years ago. Later I would refer to that type of winter as a ratter and an internet wx weenie meme was born. I’m proud that people use it-most don’t realize it came from me but time to blow my own horn....
  6. That’s why I have landscaping done for me-nothing to haul (although there are woods to blow it into but getting from front yard to backyard to woods is a colossal pain..), time freed up for me-not unreasonably priced. They come multiple times before final cleanup and they charge me $500 total. When I work I’m billing my time at $200/hour...if I’m going to work at all it has to be worthwhile. I couldn’t do clean up in 2 and 1/2 hours.
  7. I tend to agree but time is precious and my exercise is via other types of yard work, strength training, walking and hiking
  8. Back in the day we called it reamed, steemed, and dry cleaned....
  9. I believe he has his hands on his belt unbuckling as we speak.....
  10. Nice walk on a spectacular day. Warm enough and no humidity. October of yore as I remember these growing up especially during the first half of The month.
  11. I remember going about 50 years ago with my friend and his parents. Sunny day but highs were in the mid 20s on those benches. Mini Mac Herron ran a punt back 76 yards for a td. I was thinking of the distant cirrus on the SW horizon...
  12. Seemed near peak along I90 in NY yesterday afternoon. Foliage to me seems close to normal. Peak for the Boston area typically is around 10/20-10/25. Probably 5 days later vs 30 years ago.
  13. I’m 2 months shy of 75. I go to bed after 2AM, up around 10-11 in the morning. Dinner typically around 8:30pm. Suck it millennial.
  14. So George’s 200 inches for BOS is off the table?
  15. And here in Chicago it’s high summer. Nevertheless in the 48 hours I’ve been here I’ve seen leaf change. Temperature is not the biggest factor.
  16. Good luck to your wife! Great city especially this time of the year. One of the premier restaurant cities for sure.
  17. Flew to Chicago today. Another world here holding onto summer. 80+ tomorrow
  18. I don’t have a reasonable expectation for November. Even the best ones are mostly snow free outside of interior NNE. December through March does sometimes happen. That’s the hope.
  19. https://climate.rutgers.edu/snowcover/chart_daily.php?ui_year=2021&ui_day=271&ui_set=2 Average-arguably slightly above but it's noise this early.
  20. I agree there’s no logical explanation but that’s the bragging rights location for Boston climo.
