  1. Niehues map of MRG came out today
  2. Well that's the plan sure, but you don't have to go back very far to see how fast public sentiment can turn and decisions be taken out of their hands.
  3. I lol'd but no doubt none of this will occur. Probably 50% chance resorts are closed altogether and if they're open I bet it won't be much different than normal, apres ski aside.
  4. NH will monitor skiers for Coronavirus symptoms like "runny nose". https://boston.cbslocal.com/2020/09/23/new-hampshire-ski-resorts-winter-coronavirus-guidelines-rules/amp/
  5. RIP to Toots Hibbert, a frequent visitor to Northampton in the late 90s and early 2000s back when there was a great local reggae scene. Guy was a legend.
  6. gondy is running at Killington too for mtn biking.
  7. Hiked KMart today and mask usage on trail might have been 10%. And really that was 10% higher than it needed to be.
  8. On the whole though I agree with PFs and PBs sentiment. It'll be a full calendar year plus of having to roll with the punches, just gotta deal with what comes and appreciate whatever opportunities you have to be out in the snow. We're all in on uphill, lift served we're treating as bonus.
  9. Hell the science says that porous, stretchy fabrics (common to gaiters) actually increase transmission. And most actual ski masks literally have holes. I also disagree that most wear them. Maybe on the coldest days but not on the majority of days. Imagine skinning with a mask? LOL
  10. I'd say the beaches are about 50/50 masks during schlep down but I've not experienced dirty looks because I think deep down folks know it's dumb. To be fair packed beaches occurred much earlier on with more uncertainty. These days we have a whole summer sample size of minimal outdoor transmission to draw on. If there's a mask requirement on the hill it's purely for the optics.
  11. I'd like to see the science behind a mask requirement on the hill.
  12. The road over Independence Pass into Aspen is pretty sweet too. Did it before game 3 of the 2007 WS against the Rockies only a few days before it closed for the season. Very snowy at the 12k' sign. Near the top the road goes to basically 1 lane with no guard rail. It's awesome.
  13. Reports of damage and power outages in Granby/Btown on NWS Chat Cue Troy Brown... "Bingo!"
  14. Front edge kind of bowing out a little coming through this area. Got some heavy rain, briefly. Beard's hill might have had a decent gust.
  15. would be better if it were a cactus behind him
  16. Just got home from the cape... Pouring the length of the pike, crazy lightning. Then all sorts of trees and branches and wires down through Palmer and S Belchertown. Roads closed had to detour several times. SILs in Ware no power and damage. Not quite as bad here by Quabbin however. Will have to review the radar data. Been an active couple months here.
  17. 9/11/13 is right up there with 7/22/11 IMO
  18. As usual Btown getting its daily downpour
