Cold Miser

I've waited until June 1st before. This does not look to be one of those years though.

Yeah. He makes a point of taking advantage of the snow when it's there, and travel as much as he can during the day. He is good at pointing out that during what can seem like crappy conditions (shoulder trails along the roads are sparse, etc), but deep in the woods if you are willing to trailer in a bit you can find miles of trails still. Technically trails close up there by April 15th, but I doubt there was much good riding past this weekend.

lol. That is great.

Looks like some were able to push snowmobiling to the limit, and have one more rip in the central Adirondacks over the past weekend. https://ilsnow.com/2023/04/07/almost-done-snowmobiling/?fbclid=IwAR2eEM5ahR4jBUiRoAY15dE0jDP1-isXEdtFaLky8lzI8dftjKXJvhZ56ss

lol. Earliest AC power-up in memory for you?

Dude is out there watering plants in early April. lol

Never ending drought.

That's Kevin's dream storm right there...Ice Damage for miles and miles.

Epic

Unreal That video of the lift barely brushing over the top of the snow is insane. 900" season possible there?

100x's better than torch talk.

whiskey?

Holy shit. That escalated quickly. It seems that tornados don't just target trailer parks.

Since winter weather is finished for most on the forum (for many it was finished in mid-January), with the exception for places like Moose Knuckle, Maine, Deer Toe, Vermont, and Bear Claw, NH, it’s time to recap. The grades (all items are equally weighted) Overall Seasonal Snowfall: F (farce) With a paltry 11” total for the season I didn’t even come close to my seasonal average. This is the first time in my life that I have lived in an area that received less than a foot of snow for a season. This includes 4 winters in the mid-Atlantic, and 5 winters in R.I. Snow vs. Rain: F (futility) There were so many rain events I lost count. Staying power/ (number of days) of pack: F (forlorn) Pack? Pack my bags and moving to the Sierra Nevada’s for winter next winter…or possibly next week to capitalize on what continues to be a beyond epic winter for that region. Local winter enjoyment: F (foolish) Cold days with zero walkable ice on the lake, and now on the ground made for a miserable depressing, brown landscape of death and despair. Temperature: C There were plenty of cold days, but with bad system timing, and atmospheric dynamics (is such even a thing?), any cold was pretty much useless. Snowstorms/ events (quality/ quantity): F (feeble) 2 events brought about 4” each (mid dec, and late feb). Big fu.cking deal. Overall Grade: F (f.uck you winter 22/23) The pros here will say that there was so much potential…I say, fuc.k potential. It’s all about results. Potential is like hiring the fresh-out-of-school kid because the hiring team sees so much potential in him, By the time his 90-day probationary period is over they find out that he was hanging out at his desk watching gamer girls on Twich play video games in hot tubs, and goat porn most of the time. But it’s too late because the days, weeks, and months were lost, having zero production.

Puppies doing puppy things!

lol. He said, to hell with one step at a time, I'm coming all the way in with one leap. Dogs, rule!

It will get worse before it gets worse. We are slowly breaking down within civil societies. The more technology develops, and allows people to become hermits, doing everything within the confines of their homes... working, playing, etc., while simultaneously becoming more anti-social towards the real life population, the worse things will get. Things like power outages, fuel and fuel shortages will only amplify the pending collapse of society. Fragile it is...All of it, and not just the power grid. Good luck out there.

You quit before it really truly begins? Yikes.

How deep is that base?

Shitter's full, Clark.

...Old man winter reminding me he's the boss and hitting me hard this a.m. Just like a Disney movie...All I have to do is wish upon a star, and my dreams WILL come true. Second pic is at work...where the heavy stuff fell.

...and rain?

You should go watch it at the Gamp. https://uconnhuskies.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventInfo?ticketCode=PR%3AUCONN%3ABB22%3AFFW%3AFFW&linkID=uconn&shopperContext=&caller=PR&appCode=&prc=FFW&ppc=FFW&dataAccId=415&locale=en_US&siteId=ev_uconn

I am going to be up at 2am, staring out the window like I do for Santa Claus.

Nice. Try to take some pics if you are able.
