HIPPYVALLEY

Crypto is super volatile so you need to have the stomach for big losses and gains without getting rattled. The crash the past few days had several catalysts. Yellen, CNBC and then Bill Gates all had negative comments about BTC which spooked the casual investors. (I'm not sure how Gates is an expert on every subject in the news?) More importantly there was massive selling from the F2 crypto pool and that liquidated a lot of the day traders the past 48 hours. Futures expiration is Friday and the institutions and whales might be shaking out the weak hands in a bear trap. That is, of course, speculation but the guys I trust feel that way. I seriously doubt the crypto Bull Market is done. Platforms like ETH and ATOM are what the banking world is going to need in our evolving world of electronic currencies. Blockchain is the furure for better or for worse. Interesting that JPM was also crytical of BTC this week yet has a 6 figure price target moving forward. Hmmm.

Meanwhile Dave is halfway between your house and mine and has NNE type totals. N. Orh co. is a different weather planet.

What the hell? I think you have had more snow than me this winter and you basically have no pack? Crazy. This is my yard a few minutes ago:

NASDAQ getting some reality knocked into it.

You are probably 4-8" more than that? Just a guess.

Nice to not have any taint from sleet or rain today. The 3" brings me to 46" for the season. Need another 12-14" to hit average.

Fast mover, already catching glimpses of the moon through breaks in the clouds! Going to be a scenic dog walk in a little while.

Same down the road from you in Greenfield.

2.75” here. -SN. Nice little event. Past hour was great.

Yeah, the snow was really packing onto Green River Road nicely. I was watching cars fish tail. How much did you get at home?

+SN. Back edge isn’t too far away but I may break 3” here. Rt 2 corridor ftw. Although, I imagine the S Quabbin Hilltowns are probably getting raked also.

I took this pic about an hour ago. There have not actually been many paste jobs here this winter so this is nice.

A little over 2" on the picnic table, 1.5" on the driveway. SN 31/25 sweet scenery with the paste.

Dumping, should be able to hit 2” man snow too.

Actually close to an inch here now. SN 31/25 Trees caking up nicely.

Moderate snow now, flake size improving a bit. 31/23 Radar looks OK to the West.

Ahhh ok. 30/23 atm .25" I mean, I'm glad it's snowing but I have had a lot baking powder snow the past few seasons. Gets a little boring.

31/22 -SN/SN but arctic sand as usual. Hopefully snow growth improves. Everything coated.

Just started here a few minutes ago. -SN 31F Big lazy flakes.

Hunchie not doing so bad this year either... I think both you and I have had mildly frustrating snow experience this year but February has been acceptable. Hoping for 2-3" today, currently overcast and 29F.

20/8. Good air mass, just need a little juice tomorrow and maybe 2-4” in Franklin Co.

Take. I am going to need some good rates to get accumulation but looks good for the hills.

Hung out up in Heath this afternoon with some besties, I was quite impressed with the snow @ 1500’. This is a full SW facing, sloped yard and it had a solid 18 inch snow depth. Definitely more snow there than at Berkshire East in Charlemont.

Hoping for 2” here.
