I'd take a 3-5 week stretch of cold and snowy over a big dog this year. I just want the New Years to Valentines period to actually look and feel like winter.
Wow man, sorry to hear that. Being displaced for that long is a bummer. Good luck with the new homestead.
I was almost decapitated by the top of a telephone pole a few years ago and that’s when I gave up any wind fetishes.
45° and overcast in Northampton.
I’m pouring beer samples at an event that is going to have six wine and three whiskey reps also pouring. I’m going to need to pace myself.
I think SNE fun time is probably Christmas or just after through January. The next two weeks seem like a lot of thread the needle will be needed even for where I am in the deep interior.
If you want an old school New England apres ski experience hit the Shannon Door in Jackson. Cozy and festive with a comfort food menu and decent beer selection.
Moat Brewery is fun too. You want to get to both of those places before 5 PM though…
The early December pattern is not ideal but W of I-495 has a decent shot at shovel snow the next 10 days. Grinch be damned, I like Christmas week and end of month for snow in much of SNE, right to the coast.
