  1. A few days ago in one of the other threads, i saw some of our mets posting about an north east turn and Dorian was not going to hit FL. I can't remember who all was posting that, but i do remember DIT chiming in and saying no turn, Dorian is heading straight for FL. Interesting now to see the newest model runs hinting at that recurve...we shall see
  2. Reaching the point of no return in regards to Saddleback. Another wasted warm season means another winter of staying shuttered
  3. If you Insta, follow the american chestnut project
  4. I need to follow this account. Was it tamarack who said 1 in every 4 trees used to be a chestnut? That statistic is correct. Our forests used to be drastically different. Southern New England used to be oak chestnut dominant...i wish i had a time machine to go back and see how the forests originally looked
  5. The really sad thing ive noticed down here is there are still chestnuts trying to grow. Most of them gave up the ghost long ago in New England. They seem to get in 2-4 years of growth down here before the blithe takes over. So sad, such gorgeous trees that got wiped out
  6. when i first gathered them they were all green
  7. Omg, Bamboo is a disaster. Invasive species. It is easier to control in climates where the soil freezes for a certain period of time over the winter. But, borrowing from Jurassic Park, Life Finds A Way! My boss wants to plant some in the park here in Nashville. Oddly enough, the park was built on land owned by the Gordon Jewish Community Center. The Holocaust Memorial is maybe 20ft away from the park boundary. I am shocked this was approved as OK. So now the powers that be want to put up a vegetation wall...and they have settled on Bamboo...this is going to be interesting!
  8. I was on the mix side of the storm. Kingston had a 12.5 inches. I got about 4 inches of everything. Trying to get it off my driveway, i thought I might die. And that plow pile, for the love of god, it was the size of a 12 inch storm...i am def going to feel this in a few hrs
  9. That is literally sitting right on my house
  10. That is absolutely obscene. Is he wearing pants?
  11. Jeezus, at least 14 dead in the tornado outbreak at the southern end of this system
  12. Scott in Weymouth has stated he wont stay all snow, you are further north than me, ive got a southerly wind component. I can see plymouth out theough the cape is rain...
  13. 37 degrees near the kingston/plymouth line. Sitting in my car in wallyworld. Me thinks i need to ask my doctor for a stronger dose of thyroid meds...im too cold to get out of my car.
  14. Im gonna say I must have gotten almost as much as Scott. I actually started as rain. Lots of water content. I must have not paid attention very well because for some reason i thought it would be a drier snow. I hovered around 32-34 all day. My south facing driveway, FTMFW!!! The plow pile sucked. It was a sponge that absorbed all the water from the snow melt running down the side of the road
  15. Well, it was beautiful for a brief moment this morning, but we had some wind gusts, and the temp right around 32, the snow has come off the trees. It was a nice little event
  16. I have to say, right now is what I envision a classic winter scene to look like. The snow is caked on everything. It is beautiful. It took all the way until March 2nd to finally get here.
  17. Ray took some live video via FB yesterday and it shows how deep the snow is with his ruler, and it also shows how much is piled up cars etc...it is a great visual reference
  18. I think you should share your pics and live video with Harvey and Eric so that they can get a visual.
  19. Blue Hills had a weather conference that winter. My friend and I went, and that's where I met scituatewx. Paul Kocin was there. We all went up to the observatory and my friend and I hung out with Kocin and watched the radar, and basically cried together. If there had been a bar in the observatory we would have been drunk.
  20. Somewhere around 2010 we had an -NAO on steroids. That was the year DC got like 3 or 4 huge storms and we sucked on cirrus
  21. I follow the Sandwich Fire Dept. on FB. They were posting all the calls they went out on today. They just kept posting about trees down on houses, trees down on wires, poles on fire, snapped poles, live wires down and arcing. Then they started a list list of roads that were impassable due to downed debris. It's a war zone.
  22. Dang it I have no place to measure. The back deck and yard are scoured bare, and the front yard is one giant wave drift. The driveway has been contaminated by the plow equipment. They plowed, and then came around with a huge snowblower on a skid steer and widened the street by snowblowing the plow piles up onto everyone's driveway. I can tell you that the snow is so dense, when I walk on it I don't sink more than two inches. WOMAN SNOW!
