HoarfrostHubb Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I just wanted to let you guys know that after 3 years of unemployment, and 100's of resumes and applications I have finally landed a job...a good one. Many of you have known the struggles I faced of trying to get my own business's going during these 3 years, but the money being made was no where near enough to survive. Such is the nature of where I live and the field of work that I went to school for. As a licensed architect, there just is not a huge need for my services here. Trying to sell real estate has been helpful but again, not survivable income. Hopefully this will be a positive in what was a sea of negative for so long.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Busy the past few days so not a lot of posting but here is an article about some of the local flooding yesterday: http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2016/02/flash_flooding_from_overnight.html Close to home the Green River and some tributary streams closed several of the routes from our neighborhood into town. It was pretty awesome seeing 2-3' chinks of ice left behind on a local road after the Green River receded Busy work week and I did not have my camera with me yesterday so apologize for no pics. .

Cold Miser Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Digging a little deeper into the physics behind it, it's the same mechanism that makes wires hum or sing in the wind. Picture the island there is actually looking down the length of the wire. As each vortex sheds off it, it vibrates, and at the right frequency we can hear it. That is pretty amazing.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 22/10. About 10% snow/ice cover in the yard. Better than none. I remain confident that at some point in the next 4 weeks the occasional cold shots and moisture rich storms somehow come together for a NE snow summit.

ORH_wxman Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 We need to find one of those infomercials of "girls gone wild" on youtube and somehow edit it so the narrator int he video says "It's Ginxy Gone Wild!!" and edit his face into it and put images of BUFKIT and forecasted wave heights and flooding rivers that replaces the girls in the video. I know we can figure out how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess Ginxy makes 3 faces I would recognize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young kids are hearing worse stuff on the radio than what the visuals and writings say on that image. ...When you hear your teenage or younger child singing the song "Truffle Butter" out loud near you then you many want to rethink what your kids or grand kids are being exposed to. That Ginx photo is just funny stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 2011-12 was my worst winter in 8 years in W MA. A little over 30". This year I sit at less than half that total. I would need double digits from here out to even compete with that. Possibly tamest winter of my life if we can't bomb a storm or two out E of SNE in the next month.

HoarfrostHubb Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I dunno Chris. There were some pretty lame winters in the 1970s and 1980s. I just can't recall them. Lol It is amazing that we will see the coldest DJF on record for most of SNE followed by a top 5 warmest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol It is amazing that we will see the coldest DJF on record for most of SNE followed by a top 5 warmest Pretty historically bad in his area since he didn't get hit that hard form the Feb 5th storm. There's no real good data for his immediate town/area, but I'd bet it is easily top 3 worst right now. ORH is actually out of the top 10 worst winters for snowfall now even if they didn't get another flake. This year ranks 11th lowest on record.

Typhoon Tip Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 It's true, and one cash-in luck job bomb and this winter is average. I've been interpreting some local grown expectations being too high to be honest. Boston is like - 4 or so ..maybe 9, which could make up for in a heart beat. One more of those and it's actually above normal on that particular coastal location. It seems it is easier now than ever to get a 15" deal and it make forgettable. If ORH got that - heh, not such a bad winter. Just didn't happen in a timely fashion, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ORH got that - heh, not such a bad winter. Just didn't happen in a timely fashion, perhaps. However, as Will alluded to, WNE/ENY has been particularly snowless. I've only been here 8 years but the townies say this is unprecedented. Under 14" on the season here. Albany may be under10"? Bare ground in Savoy! That is truly impressive as it is the snow capital of SNE. It would have to be two warning events to get us near the Mendoza Line. Certainly not out of the question but I am cautiously skeptical. I'll have to check but I think it might be one year since NW MA has verified WSW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking to just SNE. ha. to get everyone up to speed might take a bit more. I don't think anyone would argue that expectations aside, this winter has a weird suckiness about it - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
