  1. Trust me, I get wanting to protect your personal info...but if you ever see someone on the slopes rocking a mean snow plow and a rather large blue down jacket...and No (ski) Poles...then you most def saw me
  2. I'm pretty sure we made eye contact
  3. Skied at BW today. Such a lovely day to be out on the slopes. One of the runs from top to bottom, I didn't see a single soul. I hope to get another day out there tomorro!
  4. Casualty in Townsend, MA. A tree landed on a 1yr old who was being carried by his father. Father survived but the baby didn't. Very sad. We had some strong gusts in BW. The Rt 3 corridor from Franconia Notch to BW was hit hard. Owner of the building I work in drives a big and heavy SUV and was blown into the opposite lane while driving, and they counted over 10 trees down on RT3 on the way to BW. I think if there had been leaves, there would have been widespread power outtages
  5. Rain changed to snow here around 150pm for about 30mins...been back to all rain for a while at Rt 302 level. Intense winds reported in Franconia Notch and the rt 3 corridor from BW to the Notch, reports of many trees down
  6. Well the ski area took a beating...lots of brown patches showing on the natural snow trails...I'd like to at least get out there one more time before it closes for the season
  7. Thank god...Im officially out of winter mode
  8. Wind is ripping from the south in Bretton Woods...im impressed with the sustained speed and the gusts
  9. Nothing of notable interest in Bretton Woods. A few down pours with breaks of sun. Going to miss the warm weather.
  10. Count me in the group that hates high dews...and the older I get, the less I can tolerate high dews...same with extreme cold...winter temps 25-30degrees are just fine.
  11. The last warm spell, Alex skied with me and when we were up at the top of west mtn, he showed me the backside views of Zealand Valley, and then pointed off to the WNW and said, that's Mt. Mansfield way off in the distance, say hi to PF!
  12. Snow along the rt 302 corridor is melting fast. Those 2 days we had in the 60s, especially the over night where it stayed above 50 really primed the pack and got the melting started. Even though it went back to cold weather, the sun is doing a good job. Today was light rain and damp all day...
  13. I listened to 98.5 the first day the sports hub went on the air. I spent every commute to work listening to T and R. Didn't care for Gresh and Zo...though the Zo and Bertrand was an improvement. I also liked Felger and Mazz, though sometimes they were just too much and I had to turn them off. Never could do the night show or weekends on 98.5. The slow pace and mono-tone monologs just killed me. Then I moved to TN, and went right to Norther NH after. Haven't listened to 98.5 in about 2.5years...and the radio stations are crap up here...so I just never turn on my radio in the car, not worth it.
  14. This stuff is heavy. My windshield wipers were crying for their momma.
  15. Yep! We sure did, and it was magnificent!
  16. There is a push to get J and J Vaccines out to all VA Health Centers. I am on the waiting list. After all the shots you get in military, sometimes never really knowing what you're getting, I'm not scared of the Covid Vaccine. The only Vaccine so far that never worked for me was the chicken pox Vaccine. Had chicken pox twice, and as an adult, now I have recurring shingles. I asked about the Shingles Vaccine and the doctor told me my body just doesn't recognize that virus as a threat, so getting the Vaccine won't help, as my body won't build an immune response. I have a recurring prescription for an an anti-viral that I can take at the first onset of symptoms that helps with preventing the virus getting to the blister stage.
  17. 60s felt amazing. Glad to have them for 2 days. Will miss them. Hope they come back to visit soon!
  18. Wow is it warm and humid. Alot of melting going to happen.
  19. 35 at the base of BW, 40 at the top. Warm air finally arrived
  20. Rosebrook Lodge near the summit at the ski area reporting a temp of 27. Twin Mountain airport reporting a temp of 37. I went outside without a jacket
  21. I honestly have no idea where my brain was. Probably abducted by Aliens or something
