I also make my own coffee at home, using a custom blend of coffee beans that I grow myself. But when I'm out and about I just snort an 8 ball.

Like a boss

Cumbies is good but not convenient for me.  I just make my own at home for 95% of my coffee.  Sumatra blend. Yum

I usually make my own at home, but when out and about and the need for coffee strikes. I'll go to Cumby's.

Dunks is also so inconsistent and overpriced    A medium iced shouldn’t be $3.25 for potentially crap coffee

Agree 100%. I prefer Cumbys and 7-11 coffee. You know what you're getting.

We have something a little “heavier” than flurries. It’s steady very light snow call it. It looks nice because of the perfect fat aggregates but it doesnt really add up to anything unless it does this for hours and hours. 

Mood snow?

So it's been a stressful 10 days.  Our dog (toy poodle) was not feeling well Sunday, a week ago, so we brought him to emergency vet care and it was determined that he had a mass on his spleen.  Their recommendation was to have it removed but they were not able to provide aftercare due to being Covid short staffed.  They referred us to Tufts Veterinary in Walpole, so we brought him there last Monday AM and they performed the surgery Monday evening.  It was determined thru the surgery that his spleen had in fact ruptured and had we not brought him in when we did, he would likely have bled out.  They removed the spleen and mass and sent it off for pathology.  They gave us the stats that 75-80% of these cases come back malignant with 3-6mo life expectancy after.  My mind had been a wreck this past week waiting on the results and they just came back negative.  My heart is filled with so much joy and happiness.  I could not imagine losing him so soon in life.  He's only 6-1/2 yrs old.  To hear he should have no complications and live a normal life if the greatest gift. 

 

I'm glad your buddy made it. I have a hound (Black Mouth Cur) who's  Triple M flared up over the holidays. I hate seeing dogs in pain.

Solid overcast here in the Mid-cape area.

Nice mood flakes here.

Darkening here again

March 30 1984 for me. That had everything. Reminds me a bit of Dec 1992 which was only a few years later with heavy rain and hurricane force wind gusts to heavy snow 

The Great Point Light Storm.

As to relive a specific storm? My first bust: 12/28/97. At 9 years old I felt jaded.

Now that is a screaming sou'easter. Wow. we rage.

Happens to the best of us.

Been snowing here since dawn

With this OES setup today it reminds me of February 19, 1993(?) Where the outer Cape got over a foot from the ocean effect. Out on ACK we squeaked by with about 6 inches if memory serves. Built lots of snowpeople in our Old South Road parking lot. Two days later there was a promising storm that switched over to rain for us.

OES Fest '22 gets underway today.Should be interesting as isolated 5" amounts possible. It won't be February '93 (where amounts of a foot from OES were reported) but it'll be fun.

how hard can it be to remove snow on the Cape and Islands? it's not like they get anything appreciable 

You'd be surprised.

Which town in New England has the best/worst snow removal? In all of the towns I've lived in, in MA in my opinion it's Oak Bluffs followed by Tisbury (Vineyard Haven.) The worst was Nantucket.

That was a coating I wasn't expecting. Went to bed last night thinking only the islands would get in on this.

February 5th, 2016. Struck on a Friday. I called it the "College Closed Early" Storm because the local college closed at 11:30 that morning after the rain switched to heavy snow. Ended up with 5" from that. It was a quick mover because around dark you could see whatever was left of the blue sky.

Also the anniversay of Feb 9th 2017. Another great storm with 2-3"/hr rates, daytime thundersnow and a foot+ in lot of places. 14.5" here.

 

 

I remember this one. IIRC, we had thundersnow.

Sunday looks like snow->rain here.

It looks like I-190 / I-395 beltway is heading in the direction of what I-495 beltway used to be, and worth looking at in terms of investment over time.  Worcester has been trying to revamp itself as far as an urban area, and the nearby towns are worth looking into.  Even in this area, a 1000 SF home in good condition can be priced close to $300K right now.

You can so quickly get into a world of hurt if you buy a home near the top of what the bank is willing to lend you.  S&**T happens, life happens, and real life is way more expensive than the formula the bank uses.  I'm thankful I was so conservative, and I sleep much better at night.   

I was looking at apartments out towards ORH and the surrounding areas to the east. I've got to get off the cape. I have a great-aunt who lives in Shrewsbury (funny enough, I've never met her. If I had, then I must've been a baby) I'd even go to the Brockton area.

I ended up with almost 7 inches from this little bugger here on the very southern tip of Nova Scotia. EC was only forecasting a couple inches at most. Oops lol  One of the best packs here in several years 

How'd Yarmouth do?

I drive thru there when I go to my dads out in New Milford on route 7.. after getting off 84. Looking at a map I guess you’d consider that SW CT. Good severe weather area 

Yes it is. They get all the good stuff, only for it to fall apart once it hits RI and SE MASS

1.5" for the grand finale. Road is wet.

1" on the nose. 

Curious to see what ACK got

1.1" last I checked. They switched over to rain.

1.3" Clouds moving east to west.
