  1. Looking at the mesos, it is such a crushing ,yet short lived cold push.
  2. Minimum of two advisory and probably warning events N of Pike in the next 8 weeks. I think the pattern flattens and we get chances, at least at our latitude.
  3. He/She is more of a N California, Mt Shasta type of native. If there are "Squatch" living in Oregon, they are probably more in the mountains. Most likely sticking to the chain of geothermal hot springs.
  4. Scouts is "Be Prepared" and nowadays Cub Scouts is "Do Your Best" Greenfield is one of the few towns in MA that still have a decent size Scout program.
  5. Back in 1998 I was solo camping for a few nights on the Coast of Oregon. Nice older hippy warned about such waves and told me the most dangerous aspect is the sweep of debris they carry. I laid in my sleeping bag thinking about some Oregon sunami crushing me, with a drift redwood trunk or being stomped, by the half dozen deer, hanging out 50 feet from my tent.
  6. I like the 10 day period after the 7th or so. I think N MA cashes in on a system going under us by mid-month.
  7. Yeah seems remarkable but I definitely recall other cold snaps where we went from single digits to rain in a day or two. That's the worst, going from frostbite to cutter.
  8. It builds lawsuits if somebody gets frostbite. I'm all for Scouting events in all weather but starting the day below zero and then being outside for 6 or 7 hours, is probably too much for the younger kids. The fire pits and warming hut is only good for so long.
  9. Fisher's can be nasty but usually stay away from human habitats unless you have chickens etc.
  10. Major Boy Scout event at Camp Moses in Westfield Saturday with some Troops slated to camp Friday night. I'm assuming they cancel the camping but hopefully the entire event is postponed. All day in that cold is too much when you are starting the morning below zero.
  11. Yeah, I was thinking about that earlier. People are going to be caught off guard by the combination of wind and cold coming out of work etc Friday. Out for a few drinks or dinner after work and then walking out into ULLR's wrath.
  12. Have you had any predator birds move into the neighborhood? Hawks, Owls? Maybe coyotes are getting them.
  13. They are doing just fine in my yard. I have families of both gray squirrels and black squirrels.
  14. My BOX forecast for Friday night went from -9 to -10 but Saturday went from high of 10 up to a high of 15.
  15. I doubt there’s any way you lose the bet. Way too much time to go in the period.
  16. Yeah, a 24 hour cold shot where Hartford may not get below zero is less than epic. Still, there will be some impressive temperatures in NNE.
  17. Brady done, just like our winter. Or will they both come out of retirement again?
  18. The chubby rodent will see his shadow tomorrow and we will get 8 more weeks of November.
  19. 10/2. Chilly morning. A little colder than forecast here.
  20. I have found that -6 and below is more ideal for doing the freeze hot water trick. So there’s that.
  21. Mixed drinks are three dollars at the local Elks club so it wouldn’t cost much to erase this cold snap from memory.
