As is often the case

Really nice write up Ray. Tough call!

Sorry to hear this Jeff. One of life’s worst assignments.....damn...

Wow that rain would be really nice! 10 more calendar days-definitely experiencing the agitation with the impending big change....want to get tot he other side...

Meh- our annual burner review is January. Once a year should be ok. I’m not worried about it. In any case, no heat needed so far-chilly our but ok in. Re shorts: Bad examples using running and hiking. Both of those activities are shorts unless it’s winter. Holiday dinner outdoors with fire pit keeping us warm. No shorts.

We like comfort. Never understood the need to prove you’re ok being miserable...

This will likely be the earliest I’ve had to turn on the furnace in a very long time. Only to turn it off a few days later...

Redux of last year?

Not an unreasonable prog at this point..

Am I gonna have to turn the heat in tonight? I suspect I might need to....then back to ac for a day or 3 late week. Starting to think we have a big snow winter ahead. Ideal will be that with at or slightly above normal temperatures. Eventually the water deficit will balance. Still plenty of time for tropical fun.

Wow!

And I don’t begrudge the rage. Heck, I’ve had great personal losses including my parents and only sibling but 12/30/00 is right up there...

Phineas raging from MD gets last laugh from Randolph NH.

Snow is 2 months away for play and 3 months for real.

Randoph, NH must avenge 130-140?

I'm going to do some time in Stowe at some point. Freak needs to get a real estate license so I can give him some business. I was in LA for 15 years and started interviewing for jobs on the east coast. The first one was DC and my perspective was it snowed plenty considering where my prior 15 years were. But the concept of upslope and synoptic snow on so many days is really appealing to me. Plus summers are really nice. Damn-8 more work days-and I'm waiting for HR to mess this up......gotta baby sit every process. Taxes in VT are really high though. Here, a big chunk of my retirement income is exempt from state income taxes and property taxes in my town are not bad at all.

I remember you strongly advising me to rid our flat roof of our old home of snow and shovel the deck. I was 10 years younger-easier in those days.

2010-11 was home to one of my all time melts on the eve of getting 15 inches.

SSTA in’s September match.

I bottomed at 48 but things are in the proverbial up and up now.

Don, I wonder when the last time 40s came so early....

Here we go!

Hard copied for comparison purposes.

Boston made it. We had a nice 8 inch dump but ORH may have been fringed plus a few other smaller events. That’s an underrated winter!

2002-03?
