  1. I've seen a Marten, all white, from the chairlift at Sugarbush. Moving right across the trail in full view. I didn't even realize the rarity of such til just now.
  2. Crazy that even he's abandoned the snowcover signal. Because the snowcover signal was big.
  3. Big southerly flow and high dews and rain are what takes out man made this time of year. A couple hours of 50s or even 60s on low sun angle is of negligible effect on your typical early season trail offerings. The bigger issue is the pause in expansion.
  4. At a distance you might think the abundant pines around Quabbin were badly affected by a fungus, because the tops are so brown. On closer inspection they're just loaded with cones.
  5. same. Flipped to moderate in the last 10 mins, ground whitened.
  6. 10/31 final harvest before the killing freeze. Nice run we had
  7. How bout if you install a multi million dollar wind turbine that powers the lifts and the water pumps? Are we good in that case? Asking for a friend
  8. I already expressed great admiration here for the QST92s that I have been skiing on for the past several years for everything from boot deep powder to hardpack, east and west. The general reviews are quite good as well. But you might consider a slightly longer ski than the 168s if you're 5'11". That sounds too short IMO.
  9. This-- growing up in Dorchester in the early 80s we don't wistfully think back on the snowy winters of our youth
  10. We still getting brandywine tomatoes, cherry peppers, anaheims, and scotch bonnets all doing great, dahlias blooming like crazy. We did turn the basil into pesto by now... it doesn't love the mid/upper 30s... but most of the garden continues unabated for now, even as the last week has been slightly BN in the means.
  11. I just retired a pair of Salomon QST 92s which I really liked en piste and off. Great all mountain option and I am probably going to buy another pair. They also have 98s as well. All the skis you mentioned are quality though and most folks I know that ski Volks rave about them, so I wouldn't worry too much about the Mantras if you like them.
  12. If a top QB isn't on the board, trading for multiple high picks is exactly what a team with bare cupboards should do. Gonzalez looks like a legit, top 5 caliber pick stud, but even injury aside, one stud (non QB) doesn't do much for you. Then it's just a matter of using the picks correctly.
  13. that's a nice look for this weekend, if it were January.
  14. I like how everyone's all bundled up in snowsuits
  15. By "go somewhere" they mean outside to play in it.
  16. Big Greek festival in Springfield tonight about to be big and wet here pretty soon it appears.
  17. Sorry but at this point even if it rams straight up Buzzards Bay all you're getting is LBSE posts
  18. we lost power in BTown quite a ways away from all that. Pretty good hit on the grid I guess.
  19. Shades of Hugo... the hurricane hunters weren't expecting that kind of intensity going in, with a lot less technology at their disposal in those days. And nearly died.
  20. Not really. Just got back and it was totally meh there. I literally saw a guy show another guy the never forget tipped over lawn chair meme, which apparently was new to both of them. Decent gusts on mountain tops way inland and good rains in Palm Springs.
  21. Can't upload the loop but this was BOX closest scan of the cell near Scotland. This is not the same as the cell that hit Scituate fwiw, and the velocity loop did not really show the couplet very well. Not sure if OKX might have seen something. But as I mentioned a few days ago, I thought this was the best organized cell of the day, at its peak.
