When are you heading up north? 

I don't really have a lawn...Lake on one side and shaded patch of moss, weeds and driveway on the other side, with narrow strips of shaded nothingness on the other 2 sides.

I am trying to figure out a way that I can contribute to this thread. 

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Fun looking clown on the 6z GFS lol. 

Nobody likes clowns.  Not even kids.  They have always been overrated.

Lmao…ya I was like what’s that garbage? Had 5.5” on the ground for about a half a day back on 2/28. That was the extent of the pack. 

Wolfpack?

What the hell is this?  I never had 12-24 at all this year.  ...11" total for the season, spread over 3 months.  The most I had on the ground was 4", for 2 days back in December.  

Who makes up these lies?

I am not a fan of this time of year.  What is left of my snowpack looks awful. The parts of my yard that are snow free are mushy.   
On a couple of weeks it should be better but for now it is gross. 

I wish I had your problem.  "pack" never happened for me.

Good article about how corporate greed and collusion Across multiple industries is driving inflation (not wages) and basically using people’s ignorance (helped by regulators / politicians and media simply Not reporting it LMAO) . Margin expansion in food and energy profits during a time of Increased input costs to companies speaks greatly to their ability to price gauge items that are necessities (food and energy) so much that even thou the companies costs are rising they have had the “pricing power” to record record profits (very hard to do ) . Just simply raise the prices much higher than inflation justifies and count on the public having busy lives , no awareness that large protests would motivate governments to actually regulate the price gouging and basically all possible because the corporate news outlets simply don’t report it (raise awareness ) and politicians simply don’t protect consumers (they like watching their stock portfolio benefit) . It’s just people going hungry and cold , for all the woke SJW millennials it’s too bad they take their cues from large corporations pretending to care More about diversity (than they do)  or carbon footprint (to virtue signal and profit from more expensive alternatives  ) Instead of actually uncovering something genuine that would change things for the better of awareness was raised

Can governments truly, successfully regulate price gouging though?  I think this would be a tall order, and tough to prove in many instances. Plus such an ambitious venture would more than likely require hiring of people to do this work.  

Last night Melina and I were having a conversation about people who make the rules in different arenas...school administrators, CEO's, government officials, lawmakers, etc.  It may sound cynical but I truly believe it is nearly impossible to find someone at the top...the person (people) who makes the ultimate call on rules, regulations, etc. who is not looking out for their own best interests...to cover their own a.ss, and ultimately look out for their own future.  Some people may go into politics with the initial thought of doing what's right, rise to the top with interests beyond themselves, but over time the lure of personal welfare, and self interest, and / or greed takes hold.   It's human nature and hard to change in most.

I live a couple of miles from the storage tanks in Braintree. Barge comes in under the Fore River bridge and there is a water way into the Braintree/N Weymouth area, and they get stored there, so I'm sure proximity helps.

It's cheaper for us to get our oil from Rhode Island, than in CT.

Litle weight on their roofs, wonder if they make them stronger out there. My roof is trusses and can handle more weight than a typical roof. 

Design snow loads are much higher than here.  I am sure some crappy designed structures have gone down, but not ones that have been designed to code.

Nice!!  Was supposed to go up a week and a half ago, but couldn’t go due to a family funeral. So If I can make a run and get some last miles in..that’s a win for me. Thanks for the info Will.
