I've seen the same though I think most analysis has been informal surveys and anecdotal stories with no causal links identified. Chance some of it could be placebo effect too, but if it makes you feel better it makes you feel better.

Levi is one of the best mets/technologists out there, period.

I think you might have to look at the site options a little bit more. I'd like to see you code something before you call anyone a moron too.

It makes very little sense that folks would have an idea how long immunity lasts after the jab vs natural immunity. I had covid pretty bad and don't want to get it again but until science wants to show me that the vaccine is better than natural immunity I have zero interest in feeling lousy for even a half hour by my own doing. I'm perfectly willing to read the studies once they come out but the "why not?" reason holds no water.

Is there any evidence that the jab is better than natural immunity?

At any rate, if you've just had it I'd wait at least a couple months. Personally I'm waiting 6-9 mos and then will reconsider if new strains are circulating. Admittedly my story is anecdotal, but at least representative enough that some clinics are refusing to vaccinate within a certain period of contracting it.

Somebody I know who contracted covid a few weeks ago in the same little outbreak that got me went to get vaccinated having heard a rumor that the vaccine was helping folks with lingering symptoms. Upon getting there they refused to jab her saying it would make her very ill. She complained and said her doctor said it was ok, etc., but no dice. So the next day she went to a different clinic and they gave her the shot. She went to work and collapsed and was taken to the hospital.

54 kts is definitely solid

I presume you've been to the Moan and Dove... One of the OG craft beer bars around, but no kitchen. Not sure if they'll ever reopen, which is sad. Like movie theaters though they were fighting macro trends even before the forced closure.

I don't have inside info, but my impression is that Berkshire East did too. A lot of it might have had to do with VT travel restrictions, but also I think WFH policies made it way easier to play hooky during the week.

Can they put the backboards back up on the basketball courts after the snow melts? I promise not to pass or back anyone down in the low post, just launch 3s.

Today would normally be one of those unbearable April days that you can't get warm and spend your afternoon in a shawl looking at Zillow, but with full snow cover it's downright balmy. Edit just glanced at BOX and yikes I guess it helps we don't have that here

Glad to see him go, we needed some moisture to have our big brushfire after all the wind events in the last year. State bans them May 1st. If I had put a match to the pile before Thursday the neighborhood would have gone up.

Much as I love this map, really the orange spot here should extend north all the way to the NH border at least

absolutely hammering snow/graupel

They're looking for a new site in SEMA, but they expect it will be a year or more before it's operational.

BOX looks like a tidal wave is about to break on your head.

It probably is.... Radar beam is nearly a mile off the ground

That top picture under the powerline is my little usual touring descent from the summit. It's not much but we make do with what we've got locally. If you squint you can make out the fire tower in the background.

I hiked up to Mt Lincoln in Pelham (1200') and there was like 6.5"-7" at 915 this morning. It was dumping then and has been dumping since then so they might well be pushing 10 by now.

Temporarily renamed to Poundtown. We should make it permanent, what's there to lose?

Close to 4"

Magic says they might reopen on Saturday... unfortunately, I think tomorrow would be the day... Update 4/15: There is a major “winter” storm hitting Magic Thursday night through Friday. While Red Lift is already in off-season repair mode and can’t operate, if there is enough snow on lower mountain, we may open Green Chair to mid-mtn for Saturday April 17th, just for the heck of it. Since there is no base snow left, it would be all-natural, no grooming, whatever it is type stuff. There would be no lodge or take-out food or rentals etc. Just the T-BAR for refreshments, chili and dogs, and Tavern for a few bevies. Laid-back, take a few indie bonus runs. Tickets at the window would be $39 if it is a go. Won’t know that until late Friday as we see how much falls at base of Green Lift. Since we are closed for the 20/21 season, I guess this would be the unofficial earliest opening for the 21/22 season–IF it can happen. Stay tuned here.

all it takes is one or two rotten limbs and you've got one too

can't set expectations any lower than zero even in my interior location with 540'. It's ALL upside baby
