If you draw a line through the middle of RI as far as its longitudinal boundaries, it won't split the state in half in terms of land mass either, because the state isn't a square. Where is Rhode Island? And why did it become so important all of a sudden. /sarcasim.

Pretty sure this is the type of stuff that gets you moderated around here. I think you should tamp it down a bit, maybe even try to put a negative spin on it.

I know you are kidding, but things are (thankfully) changing. I thought much like you until I tried them - I have Milwaukee M18 chainsaw, weedwacker and all of the misc hand-tools for a wood shop and I'd assume you'd, much like I was, be astonished at what they can do. Not having to winterize everything, worry about gas/oil, will it start in when it's -2 outside (this is officially a weather related post now) and general maintenance is freeing. In combination with longer lasting, more powerful and cheaper batteries .... times, they are a changin'.

Would be nice to have a warm (actual) spring for a change. Until then, let it snow.

Good, I'm heading up Saturday. Was there last Thursday and with great conditions.

Yea I'm with you. 8" up to 16" is where I'm thinking. All over the place.

Hi. Sounds like you are new here. Welcome to the forum. /s

A 100 years ago you learned everything you knew from your parents or aunts/uncles. Occasionally your grandparents would hopefully set it all straight. Now you have the history of the world literally at your fingertips instantaneously. The problem, as you know, is sometimes that's overload. The 24 hour news cycle does not help. Unfortunately it's not going to change and we can't dig our heals in and complain about it because then the world will just pass us by. I'm not sure of the solution or even if there is one....

I'm sure you are tongue-in-cheek, but to me it's because it's not about being accurate or right, or hell even weather half the time. It's about attention, likes and shares. People need flash and pizzazz or their attention wains only to be given to the next ostentatious thing.
