Great Snow 1717

Pouring in Methuen.

Sort of like when a hitter has a 20 game hitting streak but is batting .240 during the streak.

Wells running dry in NH are becoming a growing problem for homeowners. https://www.eagletribune.com/news/new_hampshire/drought-causes-wells-to-dry-up-across-nh/article_bcc4151f-c0c6-5b65-a8a0-1ae63eb85565.html

Don't worry JB will explain it all away.........

Thank you. I took a quick look at CT tornadoes and Hamden seems to be a bit of a "hot" spot for tornado activity.

How does the period 18-20 compare to the past history of tornadoes in CT?

Of course with Wiz's luck he will be confined to a windowless cell as an F5 roars by.......

If Wiz gets arrested we can start a GoFundMe account to cover his legal fees........

by someone named Laura????

Agree but it is Cranky......

The only thing that I can think of is he is thinking the effects will be of a cat 2 at the surface despite the the official cat rating.

Perhaps he uses a homemade category chart........

JB and Cranky are in different camps. JB thinks a cat 4 is possible. Cranky thinks the potential is capped and will remain a Cat 2.

Agree, all things considered an awful summer.

I have attended a lot of Fisher Cats games in Manchester. The hills to the west of Manchester always seemed to be an initiation point for storms. The worst part is there isn't a good place to take shelter at the stadium.

....but those other times of the year are getting less and less frequent.

Cosgrove has essentially punted winter.

I never realized JD Martinez was in to forecasting hurricanes.........perhaps the Death Moon can explain his season long slump???

I'd rather deal with the cold than the heat/humidity.

And there are ways to mitigate the risk for frozen pipes. The water can be shut off and the pipes drained. Old timers would do that and then poor some alcohol(some plumbers recommend using non toxic antifreeze) down the drains and into toilets. Some would use sterno to help keep pipes warm. In 2018 a friend got through a power outage by using a solar powered generator and some heating tape to prevent pipes from freezing. . And he also used a set of portable solar panels to help keep other devices charged. He used a few large coolers to preserve much of the food his family had on hand.

Agree

Agree.

CEO of Eversource makes slightly more than 19 mil/year. Clearly the CEO and his colleagues have not taken the time to plan for a storm even on the scale of Isaias. I thought PURA mandated that Eversource suspended rate hike rates for customers?? And this should be a wake up call for those who wish for a repeat of the hurricane in 1938. Power would be out for months not days if a repeat of 38 occurred.

What is the cost for a pole?

LWM had .28
