Im pissed because this might be my last winter that I will be able to track non stop and post alot on here.

My fiancee already hates when I'm on here all the time tracking storms. I'm getting married in May.

Move to the Poconos dude.  You can still get to the city in 2 hours and the annual snowfall average in Mt Pocono is around 70 inches.  It snows there in ANY pattern.  Right off I-80 too and a 2 hour straight shot from there to the city.  They get noreasters, they get clippers, they even get lake effect snow.  It makes a big difference being over 2000 ft above sea level.

Also the summer nights there are really cool and my place there has never had or needed any air conditioning.

You don't deal with the high population density or all the pollution of having millions of people around either.

I'm going to watch the webcams tomorrow from the southern states during their snow event 

Good afternoon Anthony. Don’t let on to the exact time and/or place. Some of our more creative South forum members just might leave a message for us in the accumulating snow. As always ….

Anthony, Liberty means well with his sincere suggestion. Please don’t do it. The atmosphere, with a sense of humor, will set up several DJF coastal gradient events with the heavy snow line ending on the north Bronx/Queens border. Irish, Julian and Gravity will be putting up likeness posters of you on all the fir/oak trees in their areas. The only upside is the profit you will make from the bidding war between S19 and forky to buy your property to insure that you move back to Brooklyn. As always ….

I was thinking he should surprise his new bride with it as a wedding gift.

"HEY HONEY, LOOK WHAT I GOT FOR YOU AS A WEDDING GIFT?!  A LOG CABIN IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WHERE IT SNOWS FROM OCTOBER THRU MAY!  YOU CAN HELP ME SHOVEL IT TOO!  DOESN'T THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY?  JUST LOOK OUT FOR THE BEARS THEY'RE REALLY HUNGRY THIS TIME OF YEAR!"

Liberty in almost 45 years of marriage I was never able to surprise Vincenza. Vincenza, my full blooded Sicilian partner was always, at least, two steps ahead of me. As it turned out, that was for the best. I, personally, would have liked the cabin though. Stay well. As always …..

I think it would be a really nice place to get back to nature and find some peace and solace far away from all the noise and commotion- and still be able to drive to all the noise and commotion when that was desired.  Can't think of many places like that.

Hunterdon County, New Jersey… maybe Sussex or Warren if you want more hills and forests.

I was gonna say... this region is like the Mecca of isolation a short drive from civilization. There are countless towns in Litchfield, Ulster, Pike, etc. where you can own a house miles from your neighbor, be unable to find a cell signal, and not have your road plowed until three days after it snows, while still being 90 minutes from the financial capital of the world.

I’m very inclined to move away from the coast. The difficult thing is my work (in Hillside, Union Co). Commuting from N / NW NJ wouldn’t be bad, but I really want out of this state. Spent all my life here and there’s too much beauty in the NE region to be stuck in a state with a ludicrous population density. Traffic makes me mad. If I can get my wife onboard I’d love to move to New Hampshire or Maine. 
 

Half my wife’s family is French Canadian and there may be some opportunity for a more drastic move, but of course even that is a vastly bigger deal / commitment. 
 

Of course if I pursued my passion for geology / volcanology there’d be an opportunity to spend time living in Iceland, which for us is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Been there four times now (in winter) and planning to go back soon. My wife surprisingly on board with that, but once again an endless escalation of commitments and an even more drastic change. Not always easy.

Good afternoon V W. Please follow your dream. Even in difficulty but with your love by your side, follow it. Too many of us are left, as the days grow short, with only the dream. As always …

Looking at the latest guidance for the weekend:

immediately heading out for milk, juice, eggs, Smirnoff 

and gas this morning.

Good morning Torch. Ah a Smirnoff omelet and juice chaser. Great way to start and end the day simultaneously. Stay well, as always …..
