How have you had no wind? Tofu valley FTW? Been gusting hot air here like politicians for hours. 

Peak gust of 12mph.  The CRV is where wind goes to die.

Water pouring in under my slider downstairs.... first time there has been significant water coming in. French drains handling it no problem.

There is water coming under my garage door which almost never happens.  I have not cleaned the gutters since beginning of October so I’m sure that is the problem.

1.5” rain, no wind to speak of.

temperature went from 47° to 57° in the past hour or so.  

Over an inch here now.  Peak gust of 10 mph.

Unless you are on a hilltop, W MA is where wind goes to die.

Amazing photo Chris.  You can see the rabbit clearly

Thanks Dave! I was a little shocked to see the pictures when I got home.  No tripod, so I used the roof of the car and a book to prop the camera at the proper angle.  
I’ve got a few even crisper but haven’t processed or cropped them yet.

November “Beaver Moon”
I saw it coming up over the trees and jumped in the car to go down to the open fields down the street.

Better than a driving rainstorm all the way to Ft. Kent. 

That’s usually on the Christmas week menu.

Anxious weenies.  Minimal snows up till the new year is the norm for here.  So easy to sit back and see the weenies pine for it. 

Looks like you will be tickling 60° to start December.

Clouds, showers and 45F here.  Was sunny earlier.

Is that the real deal fermented kind or the vinegar laden kraut in a bag? I like kraut, but I'm more of a kimchi fan.

I make all my own krauts and kimchi now.  
Quart jars with air lock tops and stainless springs instead of weights.  
 

The fog on I-91 between Springfield and Northampton was insane tonight. Many cars doing only 45-50mph.

I think 12/10 to maybe like 1/10..

Yeah, I can see some lateJanuary torch time but I think KU end of January early February and for now focus on mid December tasty I-495 N&W event.

Initially, probably the latter....but you can see how this eventually plays out mid season.

I like 12/15 to 2/15.   The interior for the earlier events but at least 2 region wide warning events in that time frame.

Was going to do something outdoors, but we'll do it Saturday instead. I'll probably flip some sort of meat around on the grill.    

Maybe some  meat?

People are getting wayyyyy ahead of themselves with this.

Lets gain a measure of confidence for a serviceable pattern here in NE, before hoisting the warnings for NC.

Third Consecutive Monday that positive vaccine news is announced around 7am.

This time it’s Oxford -AstraZeneca Vaccine initial  efficacy  And it has less obstacles bc it can be stored at non obscene temps

Gotta pump that pre-market to suck in all the Robinhood fan boys.  Look at Pfizer and Moderna, any real profit taking was only realized over the course of a few hours unless you were an early long term hold.

The storms they are a cutting.

Come gather round weenies wherever you roam, and see that the snow maps were quite overblown.

Glad that’s mostly just to my SE. Wrecked my back again and can’t deal with a flooded run today. Bed ftl.

Sorry to hear that! I hurt my back five weeks ago and still have some residual discomfort from it.  The worst part is I know I am close to normal strength again but I still get fearful of lifting stuff or overdoing it.  Mentally taxing.

Nice day, nice evening.  Had friends over for some grilling and now I’m enjoying some quiet time in the yard.

Considering all the death I've seen and having coworkers vented, it was a moderate case.  

Holy smokes!  We don’t even know anyone in NW MA that has had it.   6 positives in Franklin Co this week.  One hospitalization.

Stunning day! Already well above forecast temperatures here.  55° in downtown Greenfield.

Sister, brother in law and their two kids are positive with COVID 19.  The kids just have runny noses, my sister has a bad head cold and no sense of taste... coffee tastes like water.  That’s why they got tested.

Test results in New York took her 6 days to get a result, beating my 5 days in VT to get a result.  They’ve not left their house since last weekend and have another week to go at least.

Now both of my sisters have had it.  Both work in healthcare so not surprising.

It’s everywhere. I’m wondering if the Franklin Co.  numbers are so low because we’re isolated or because last January and February half the county, including my family,  had the “weird cough”.  
Honestly , I’m going to see if I can go get an antibody test.
