HIPPYVALLEY

I just had a long discussion with my mechanic about switching over from Subaru to Volvo. He goes out and finds used cars for his clients and he is hot on Volvo in terms of bang for the buck. I'm a long time Subaru driver but he has me strongly considering Volvo. Only problem is I love me a good 5 or 6 speed manual transmission and that isn't really much of an option with Volvo these days or most any other car for that matter. You can still find the C-30's in manual but I need something bigger so Subaru Outback or Jetta Wagon are the only options if I'm going to be stubborn. Anyway I'm on board with considering Volvo XC-90 even though it's an automatic.

So what you are saying, is that in SNE, winter is really just Dec 15th to about Feb 15th? Gawdamn shortest season out of the 4!

I just hope I’m still around for the flip to Day After Tomorrow conditions.

The ski resorts need a good base firming event anyway to lock things in for the season.

Must be some zeros in there right?

Worcester must be nearing some sort of record for least amount of snow this late in the season.

A few minutes of drizzle and a couple of mangled flakes were it here. Times are tough.

Pretty much a lot of virga anyway.

GFS drags that 0c 850 line N of Montreal.

Mediocre patterns are prone to disappointment. You can call it bad luck but the atmosphere does not care about odds. Systems are getting shredded as they move East and the results are paltry precipitation moving into marginal air masses. They are not even train wrecks just slow derailment in the mid-levels.

The bucks and raptors had better inside games then the Celtics do. Maybe if Robert Williams could play more than three games in a row they would be better. Anyway, we should take the sports to banter.

I like your stratus half full attitude!

Despite the NBA being compromised by the run and gun bombs away era, I still feel like the key to a championship, is being able to play beast mode in the paint and the Celtics have just not had that in a while. No anchor inside = no Finals.

Yeah, cool, gray and damp is just depressing.

Breaking out here now. Just a coating of snow and ice overnight. Still made the driveway slick as can be. Hopefully melt that off today.

Shred pattern gonna shred systems.

It’s tough to watch but us winter faithful will soldier on!

I think for MPM it’s just as much about avoiding all summer heat while having decent winters. Coast of Maine obliges in that department.

I have a few subscriptions but I prefer to look at models on my laptop so if I am on mobile I like when people post maps here also.

By better you mean a chance at coating to an inch before freezing rain?

GFS was kind of meh' I thought. NAM was more generous

Most of W MA N of the Pike and W of the Quabbin has not been that exciting the past few years.

This may be inevitable but hopefully flips the script.
