  1. Greenfield did not cancel school today. Probably because they wasted a snow day on rain a few weeks ago.
  2. Yes, giving teachers a long weekend is a factor in it sometimes.
  3. Wind is howling. I’m properly dressed and it’s cold. 3pm will be even colder. more sane than some of the bullshit snow days that have been called over the years.
  4. The bank thermometer downtown jumped from 12° to 14° the past hour. #sunangle.
  5. Absolutely. Temperature in downtown Greenfield actually jumped up 2° the past hour. As silly as it sounds, I was on the south side of the Brewery building, which is an old brick factory building and sheltered from the wind. I could actually feel the warmth of the sun on my face and the sun warming the bricks.
  6. That’s cool. Glad to hear. I was just being my usual New England sarcastic.
  7. I love how all of the New England ski areas are running one lower mountain lift, so they don’t have to give refunds for advanced ticket sales.
  8. I’ll tell you what, tomorrow afternoon should be good stick tongue to flag pole or jungle gym weather for the kiddos.
  9. The big Western Mass cities have all canceled for tomorrow. Springfield, Holyoke and Chicopee. My gut tells me that Northampton and Greenfield will probably cancel also. Greenfield has a lot of kids that walk to school, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
  10. Most school district in most Department of Public Works are completely out of touch with the weather, outside of what they hear from broadcast Mets, TWC or the NWS p/c forecasts.
  11. Losing a Saturday in February is tough for ski areas. Crowds will be thin at best on Saturday and non-existent on Friday.
  12. Yeah, Portland should burn a snow day since they haven’t been that many of them. It’s going to be terrible conditions by the time School gets out tomorrow.
  13. That’s exactly why I could never live in a house that doesn’t have a woodstove.
  14. All of the Greenfield Public school’s are in neighborhoods or near downtown so many kids walk to school instead of taking buses. I would be a little concerned for the walk home tomorrow.
  15. GFS was certainly above normal next week but by no means a torch in N MA. Looked like upper 30's to 40.
  16. Looking at the mesos, it is such a crushing ,yet short lived cold push.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
