1992 Dodge Caravan....probably the most classic "mom car" of the 1990s.

 Gangsters liked them too, because the slide open door was convenient for drive-bys.   

Bright sunshine and blue skies, crisp morning.

We’ve installed in July the past two summers here. Natural AC before then. 

Same.

Haven’t used my snowblower in 2 full winters now.

Wow, that’s nuts. 

Found a small puddle in the corner of my basement this morning.  That shows how heavy the rain was last night as this has only happened a few times in the past 12 years.  Happened during Irene too.

This will be the best storm of the year. 

No doubt.  First and last t-storm of 2020 for Wiz? 

Torrential downpours with pea sized hail now! 

Pretty good light show here right now, lots of thunder and lightning.

Sugarloaf probably doesn’t have to worry about people driving all the way out there for an hour of exercise haha.

It's a big place, people can keep their distance. 

This is the time of year that WNE gets those dsd shorts days while the CP wears sweatshirts and windbreakers.

So much in bloom. Lawns all bursting green. All forsythia out , lilacs and many shuns and all woody underbrush all with tiny green leaves. Let’s see who in SNE disagrees , cuz it’s everywhere 

There is literally nothing blooming here except for some crocus and maybe a few bulbs coming up. Fields are all still a brownish tan with a few patches of green scattered about. I can post some pics tomorrow.

Awesome torch today. Went for a run and got baked.

I usually do that in the reverse order. 

I like that period around April 4th or so for a last hurrah.

Slide that 100 mi or so SW and give NYC a change of scenery.

Speaking of ticks, I found 2 crawling on the dog today after about a mile walk. Woods were 90% snow covered along the route 

If it’s above 35F or so they are out.

Berkshire East done!  No trespassing signs and caution tape up.  I may journey up to mount Snow but crossing state lines seems iffy right now. 

Lame.  I totally understand though, insurance liability.

I guarantee some people are still going to ski it though.

It is weird how wildlife comes and goes in cycles.  
Lots of hawks, owls, fishers, foxes.    Chipmunks are hard to find lately.  Rabbits ebb and flow.  I have never seen a bobcat but my wife and daughter saw two in our yard around a year ago. 
coyotes used to be pretty routine but rare here now it seems. 
 

we had a bear rip off a light fixture off the back of our house a week or so ago trying to get to a bird feeder.
