Maine is big and sparse. Depending on his mode of travel and the head start he got, he could be pretty far away.

Yeah, that’s weird. You would think that a boat on a river is a lot easier to find than somebody in a car or on foot. If the search drags on it will be torturous for the people in that area.

Unlikely since he seemed to have a planned escape.

Looks like a few chilly days early next week and then we moderate back to normal or slightly above. The coldest temps look to stay in the mid-west for first half of November. At least it looks relatively dry. GFS had a nice 'cane into S Florida at the end of the run.

The fact that there is not a suspect in custody or dead is pretty wild.

Manchurian Candidate?

They are anticipating higher oil prices and stocking up to feel secure. The other issue is that there is less wood around, at least in WNE, because skidders couldn’t run as much this summer due to all of the mud. Also the wood guys are retiring and nobody in the younger generation wants to do it.

We will see sone below normal temps next week but that Nov 3rd threat is a maybe mangled cat paws, at 1000’ in N Worcester County.

Hopefully it’s a viagra winter.

Foliage peaking here this week. Looking forward to the warmth.

34/32. No frost that I can see on the grass or cars.

at you calling 4" of snow in November meh'

It’s coming.

Ya’ it’s

I welcome the warmth but it would’ve been nice if there had been a freeze, to kill off the yellow jackets for the season. They will be going crazy end of this week.

Wed - Fri looks great! Might need to take a day off for yard work.

We will.

Yeah, light to moderate rain now and .45' since noon.

South of RT-9 all the way down to Savoy is good backwoods. Rural.

Not certain but it was definitely around the 9pm time frame.

I actually heard a rumble then and the dog jumped up and barked. I dismissed it as a big logging or gravel truck going by but those are infrequent and usually not at night.

Outside of Northwest Maine and parts of the Adirondacks his area is as remote as it gets in the Northeast.

Tanuary, Mehbruary, Morch

Yes and I am just far enough west, with just a low enough elevation, to get bent over the slab. That’s why you and I often end up with similar snow totals. At least you can occasionally cash on deform bands from coastal fronts.

Yeah, it's bad. W MA is tough but my VT friends say the rental situation there is dire. Another screwed up situation is the commercial real estate market. Brattleboro, Greenfield, Northampton all have tons of commercial real estate vacancies because the landlords want outrageous rents. Rather than lower rents they let the properties sit empty and take a tax right off. Northampton commercial store front rents are not far off of Boston prices. One particular POS property mogul (Eric Suher) has basically been holding downtown Northampton (and to some extent Holyoke and Easthampton) hostage for years. Lots of articles about him in the local press. Northampton finally forced him to sell some of his properties through a series of legal maneuvers.
