We embrace it. Im right on the front lines. Nothing between me and the vast Hockomock swamp. If someone’s going to see something, it’s me. When I catch a 20 foot bird on my ring camera, I’ll post.

Boxing day was a good storm here. Must have had a foot and a half or so.

1.30” of stein.

Yeah, short term is fine but we still need more rain.

So is there actual border patrol up there? It looks like you can just drive right into Canada and not even know it lol

Must be different for various departments. I’m also a state employee and have heard no talk of a mandatory booster by 12/1. Im assuming it different for Ray because he is dealing with a vulnerable clientele

I can’t imagine loving snow so much, and sleeping through all time events or pre blizzard model runs. I mean, you’d think you’d make an exception a few times a year?

Can you post your credentials?

Ray loves this distribution for scooter, myself, and the cranberry bogs

… that was a good one. Just looked at Kevin’s site and I had 6” of absolute mashed potatoes. I was juuuuuussssttt far enough away from the water, as is often the case here. Id love to see a breakdown from about my area up through like Sharon. I get snow averages rise pretty steadily through like easton, Foxboro, Mansfield, up to Sharon relative to the real distance.

To be fair, it was really only a monster in a small corridor from like TAN to Weymouth. An all timer in a small area, nice storm elsewhere

I’m one to talk (lol) but I think the reverse psychology deal is the preferred method now. Poo poo and find the flaws so you can either claim you were right when a threat flames out or be wrong and get a lot of snow. It’s a no lose strategy. Hubbdave is the master at this. He lives in probably the best snow spot in all of SNE and legitimately acts stunned when it snows . All in good fun of course Dave

That wasn’t a bad event around here. Got skis for Christmas and was able to try them out in the yard lol

Who knows, the optics of what happened are insanely bad. You lay off a guy on one of the handful of most popular morning shows in the country, and then to bring him back you make a host of the show pay his salary. the part of this that is kind of flying under the radar is they are taking a 38% administrative fee? What is that? Healthcare?

I would think the sports hub would replace WEEI. The sports hub pretty regularly triples if not more the numbers that EEI does

Is anyone following the Toucher and rich story? The parent company laid off a bunch of employees, which included a few 98.5 guys despite the station having insane ratings across the board. Rich is paying for a producers entire salary plus a 38% markup for “administrative fees” whatever the hell that is. You heard that right. A host is paying the entire salary of a producer so he doesn’t get laid off. Unbelievably bad look for Beasley media

You don’t have to have a 10k setup for it to be serviceable though. I bought a 10 circuit transfer panel for 400 bucks and Matt (butterfish) installed it and then I bought a 7500 watt generator for about a thousand. it powers everything we’d need, including the well. Most lights/outlets etc etc. so for about $1500 I’m covered if we ever lose power. I lost probably $500 in food when we lost it in October of last year when we lost it for 2 days, so it was kind of a no brainer. The generac systems are obviously very nice and hands off which is a plus; but for the amount we actually lose power here, 10 grand was a lot

More stein at home it would appear

Of course it’s a possibility, but calling it likely is scientifically dishonest. I’m not sure there is much of a correlation between October warmth and a warm winter. The “it’s going to lock in” posts are just a defense mechanism in case for some reason it does

Looks like stein has headed north too dendrite area.

If we ever move in the near future, a house on oil is an absolute non starter. Outrageous price swings and it’s dirty. At least with propane currently it’s clean and the price is more stable.

This may sound silly, but is there a reason color seems to Be more vibrant along the highway? the color driving up and down 495 has been tremendous, but kind of mediocre outside of that. The color also happened much sooner in areas right along the roadway

Pouring

The rain also ended up east of where models had it by a good bit. It was clear pretty early last night that was happening.
