  1. Maine has maybe the best under-hyped craft brew scene in New England. My niece's boyfriend is head brewer at Foul Mouthed in S Portland. I loved Hidden Cove when I stopped in back in October.
  2. There is nothing in the long range that screams winter cancel.
  3. My neighborhood is fantastic at snow retention, jackpots not so much. I think what really helped is that although last weeks storm was only five or so inches, it was high water content stuff so it had some good staying power, especially after yesterday’s thaw and last nights freeze.
  4. Do you think Wiz should fire up a May 1 thread?
  5. Don’t take it personally, they are having a hard time up north this year.
  6. We all know Greenfield MA will be the only place in SNE having a white Christmas.
  7. What year did we have the deep cold in early March that killed every Peachbud north of New Jersey?
  8. Wow, that is just absurd! Creative and interesting but just ridiculous.
  9. I like pond ice and a grinch storm can really F that up no matter how cold it was before or how cold it gets after. Nothing worse than a layer of punk, honeycomb ice to erode your safety confidence.
  10. Most winter outdoor activity enthusiasts would probably prefer BN snowfall and BN temperatures as opposed to AN snowfall interspersed with a high DP grinch storm.
  11. Greenfield has a general 3 to 5 inches of full snow cover although open fields should be pretty bare by Christmas morning.
  12. My friend in Vermont said Killington and Okemo are OK but could really use a refresher. My friend in North Conway said they definitely need snow up there. The Alpine skiing is OK it’s the Nordic areas that are hurting pretty badly.
  13. According to my friends up north (NH and VT) there is already a lot of hand ringing about lack of snow at the ski areas.
  14. As a kid my dad would take us out as long as it was over 3" of black ice. We would also cut test holes every 50' or so.
  15. A friend of mine fished Cranberry Pond in Sunderland/Leverett and told me 4" of black ice. That's pretty solid. It's also been real cold here this week, today was first day above freezing and it's already back down in the mid-20's.
  16. Ice fishermen were out on Barton Cove on the CT River this morning!
  17. In Chelmsford visiting family and it’s 42F. It was only 26F when we left Greenfield at 11 AM.
  18. Hopefully we get something wintery to pop next week but pattern looks to have December whimper out and January limp in.
  19. Western MA has huge high speed internet gaps in the rural towns.
