HIPPYVALLEY

We are missing all of the precipitation this summer complete opposite of last summer. I'll take it as long as we can get the QPF in the winter...

So well done!

8 -10 white face bites put me in the emergency room a couple of summers ago. I hit a nest on mowing and it felt like burning embers shooting into my shins, at first I thought maybe the lawnmower was throwing sparks. After about 30 minutes it was insane burning and itching in my lymphatic areas and my face started to swell up. Sitting in the emergency room it started to get worse and worse and the staff kept telling me they were still nine people ahead of me in line so finally I told my wife to just tell them I was having chest pain's. They wheeled me in immediately LOL They jammed a harpoon of epinephrine into my thigh, I thought my heart was going to explode, Now I have an EpiPen prescription. The funny thing is I had had plenty of stings over the years something about the wfh really made me react poorly. Fortunately I have not seen wfh in a few years but I'm still pretty cautious around Yellowjackets.

First kid at 43 so no worries my friend.

11-26/27-14, out this way, was a great, early season event.

I've seen 5 at once in my back yard and they were not cubs.

Wow, gorgeous mountains!

UMass has a mail in soil testing program.

Always. Lawn is a luxury item.

Fuk, there can be 1-2" differences between my house on the far N side of Greenfield (almost in Colrain) and far S side (almost in Deerfield). In fact, for quite a while, when I was submitting my NWS reports I would state exactly where I was because downtown could often have 1" less snow (or sometimes 1" more) even though I am only about 200' higher.

We all know there should be a weather station and snow board in a little fenced area on Boston Common, just need to find somebody on Beacon Hill to walk down and take the measurements.

It can be infuriating. NWS almost always uses my reports for Greenfield because they know I'm pretty conservative with my measurements. I had to complain a few years ago when they used a "media" source for a few storms and they were way off from my totals both on the negative and positive side but almost every Greenfield report over the past 8 years is mine.

Dude, you're nuts! You need a front load tractor or p/u with a plow for a driveway like that.

How the hell did the guy in Sterling only get 8 - 9"???

My friend in Colrain says about 7.5" there, I had about 6.5" here. W MA totals: Franklin County...

I would have never guessed you and I would get the same amount based on you being about 25-30mi E of me. Pretty morning.

I haven't had one since March 2017

Steady light snow in this last little band.

You can see why some areas further S of Greenfield did not do much better or even worse. We had that narrow heavy band from 1:30am on for a few hours.

That will obviously change, a lot of those numbers out this way were in the wee hours with snow still falling heavily. There is no way Plainfield is under 2".

One last little weenie band pivoting through NW MA with some light mood snow.

While I would have gladly taken a foot+, my back and snow blower will be glad to only be clearing half that. This stuff is heavy and thick.

Oh' that's almost less than here. I'm close to 7" in non-paved areas.

I did get 6-7" so I don't think you were calling for more than that here. We had a nice, narrow band sit over an area from like Stockbridge to Brattleboro for a few hours. That's why we did a little better than some areas further S in the valley.
