tamarack Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 after you give this a listen: My fingers hurt just looking at the score - all those 16th notes. (And my taste in toccatas runs to those written about two centuries earlier.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Last time a hurricane in January. 1938 Don't know if it ever reached hurricane strength, but we did have Epsilon that formed late in December 2005 and was still hanging around into Jan '06.

moneypitmike Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 We're taking a second look at the house in Ashfield tomorrow to determine if we want to sell one pit to buy another. It would give me better elevation but still not too great (1300' vs. only 1000' now). If I leave home tomorrow in the rain and it's snowing up there, that will certainly put a mark in the "plus column". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 There's gonna be some big meltdowns by next weekend. Especially from SNE folks who will be facing single digit seasonal snowfall amounts heading into the end of the month and a major warmup coming Jan 25-Feb 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfenn1117 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Didn't want to clutter the storm thread with a MBY question - but I was thinking of going to Waterville Valley tomorrow morning. Does it look like snow up there? I've never been so I know nothing of the area - but I have free passes. Where will the flip be on 93 so I know how much time to budget for my drive?

backedgeapproaching Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 This winter sucks Imagine if this board was around in the 1980s? Would be a pile of jumpers a mile high every year. Not that this is surprising, but looking at the top 57 NESIS storm list and comparing 1980-1990 vs the past 10 years is kind of mind boggling. NESIS storms in top 57: 1980-1990--5 2005-2015-26 Been a pretty decent run I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 One way to recover from the addiction to snow is to move to Florida. I'm slowly coming around in my thinking. Which is better: Shovelling, bundling up in layers, No bikinis? Or: Swimming, Fishing, BBQing, working on a bronze tan, most of all bouncing beauties abound?

LMAO I'm working on that, as much as I love the snow, I can't stand the cold. We'll be down there at some point, probably in about 4 years.

There are very few houses available in MA above 1500' unless you want to live in Savoy - Heath - Florida MA. To cash in on some of those tight QPF gradients from coastals you need to head east to an elevation location in N. Leverett or Shutesbury or Petersham/New Salem.

In terms of number of unites you are correct, but that's more a function of population than anything else But, there are a number of towns where these are found if you're wililng to live in them (I am). Just in Franlin County, Charlemont Colrain Hawley Heath Ashfield Plainfield Goshen Similar number of towns in Hampshire County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO As a forester, I've no interest in a place where stinging/biting critters are active year round. On field trips in Maine that include folks from up & down the East Coast, one can discern geographic origins by lunchtime behavior. The NNE types sit on the nearest log or rock while the southerners stand around and look uncomfortable, hoping the chiggers, fire ants, etc. don't find them.

The NNE types sit on the nearest log or rock while the southerners stand around and look uncomfortable, hoping the chiggers, fire ants, etc. don't find them. Respectfully the Yankee in me is ingrained. The thinking of whether it was a good or bad move is a forgone conclusion. The move was by accident caused by health, employment and forced to retire. It took a year to find the property. Disappointed in that it's not Montana. The house is a 2,000 sq/ft log home- tongue and groove sitting on 2 acres right in the middle of the Ocala National Forest. Admittedly the summers are brutal but one can't beat the winter weather. The appeal of shoveling due to the fact of being physically unable is no longer entertained. The first month I moved in had a stare down with a 300lb Black Bear, ah, he won. At any given time I can look skyward and spot an eagle or two. The only fear of being down here are the gators and lightning. Odds of being in a Cane have increased 100 fold, kind of enjoy the severe weather... can't wait. Just today had a nice squall line pass threw. I'll get more severe threats in a year then a Blizzard. Anyway if I want snow now all I have to do is get on a plane equally live vicariously through the forum. Always has been the thrill of the chase and not the event itself.
