78 is a little bit more of a nod to a classic English pub beer. But yeah, so many of the available packaged stouts are laden with lactose, chocolate, coffee and other adjuncts. A straight Oatmeal Stout or Porter is tough to find these days in the stores. There are still breweries making them but most package stores don't carry them or they are only available on premise at the breweries. It might be time to bring back the beer thread...

Nice example of a British Brown ale. Hop heads rule the roost so not many breweries actually packaging those anymore. Smuttynose Old Brown Dog is also a nice brown ale that’s widely available. Peoples Pint Farmer Brown is similar but a hint richer. Only really available in W MA though.

Meh'. Pattern has lots of storminess and the cold will eventually work out with regards to timing.

A 2-0 deficit in World Cup feels like a 14-0 deficit in NFL playoffs. Not impossible to overcome but not an enviable position to be in.

FYP.

Same here give or take a tenth. Let’s hope we match up some snow totals with the big swfe front loaders in a few weeks.

Oh’ man, this is funny and spot on. Probably could make an expanded version that stretches down into CT. https://www.bonfire.com/dhtwn-wmass-snow-lovers-2022/?fbclid=IwAR0p2cXILDJMPzxeqMGi-bBwBdZLLpQresiQeX-o93BWz4wLA-oOBgcWT9Q

We have .60” which is a lot more than I expected.

By the end of the week, if ensembles shift even a little bit, we will get the first post saying “the pattern change always ends up being 10 more days away, I knew this would happen”.

I may take the day off to finish winterizing the yard. November snow is nice but the mild month has been great. I’ll be ready for snow right when the models show the potential a few weeks.

Tomorrow looks like the nicest day of the week perhaps?

I think I'll be able to make it for the first few hours.

Lol, Tired Hands Brewing is not in the top 10 on the East Coast. Believe it or not, the elite breweries are the ones that make every style well, not just hazy IPA.

Sou’easter?

In NW MA April - May and Oct - Nov are brutal for ticks. I've had many bites over the years but thankfully caught all of them early. I feel like it's a when not if for getting a tick born illness. Hope you have a fast recovery!

This could be a new record, it’s only November 23 and this subforum is already

It’s still pretty ugly in Massachusetts. In the eastern part of the state there’s tons of money that doesn’t care what prices are. Out this way, more than half the dispensary business is wealthy tri-staters passing through or folks from NH and VT. I would never pay for weed but I check the prices online and it is still going for over $300/oz at MA stores. It’s mind boggling that there has not been any price correction in Massachusetts. Also, it’s not like you’re $350-$400 per ounce weed is anything spectacular. I grow nicer looking and smelling stuff in my veggie garden every summer.

We have seen a few of those over the years.

It was weird we dropped steadily at my house until around midnight when it was 24/12 and then never got below that. Must have gotten some cloud cover because there was a light dusting of snow on the cars.

Believe it or not we are still below average rainfall here.

24/11 is pretty good for this date. We could probably get into the teens here if the wind dies completely. Most ponds around here will have a skim coat of ice tomorrow morning.

Squashed. We cool and dry. That’s OK by me. Was hoping for an OK day Friday to walk around Boston with the family. I know I’m only 90 miles away but we just don’t get there that often.

I believe as far as LES goes it was quite dense not fluffy.

I was shocked, I assumed it would stay in the 60's and 70's all winter.
