Volcanic Winter Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I really miss tracking winter with you kooky kids. I should definitely enjoy each season for what it offers but I think this past winter did me in. We even went up to Danbury during the peak of the snow drought in Feb, got up in the hills and couldn’t find snow to save our souls. Not to mention it was like 50 degrees each day lol. Admittedly I’m a psycho that prefers hiking in winter conditions, and it’s tough following up multiple winter trips to Iceland back here, at least in our area without going too far away. Just hoping we have a better season this year, I’m like the opposite of a person who lives for the summer months hehe, ride or die give me cold and snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I would take the colder winters in that period as a consolation prize. Seems like that period failed for different reasons than now, IMO.

gravitylover Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Yeah but the end result was a period of non winters other than the cold, which was ultimately just annoying, but did allow ski areas and snowmakers to learn how to make snow for us to play in/on. The one or maybe two storms a year were usually a letdown. The last 30 years have been spectacular so your perspective is kinda skewed. Maybe you should hook yourself up with a nice home snowmaking setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2sailorlis Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Anyone have any idea why someone would want this type of wind instrument? Operated on some pneumatic principal apparently. Comes with some some special fluid... Found at a tag sale, unused, and purchased for $5.00... thought it was cool...Dwyer Instrument still sells them for $170. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The climate down here is turning too much like the Mid-Atlantic for my tastes. I would really like to stay in NY but would consider New England. But an out of state move would be more difficult for me. I completely understand. My ideal spot would be by Watertown,NY. You get the lake effect and system snow.

There’s a poster (Mitch) in the NE forum that’s at 2500’ and averages like 200” a winter. No heat in the summer too at that elevation and you’re only a 4 hour drive from NYC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been slowly planning a move with my wife as well, and I want to retire way down the road in C/NNE. For now I’ll probably have to settle for somewhere near Sparta or that general area. We have friends in Hopatcong and I think it’s beautiful that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 23 hours ago, bluewave said: Yeah, very hard to find condos or coops the further north you go. Most of the properties available up that way are whole houses which are too big for me. Also a bunch of time shares in the Adirondacks. Even spoke to a tiny home manufacturer about getting a 450 sq ft unit. But the zoning laws in NY are very hostile to allowing tiny homes. So many get parked on trailers behind houses. Many times the zoning outside of town limits is more agreeable to alternative housing options, a lot of times there aren't many restrictions other than meeting basic building codes depending on the size of the property.

I’m tired of the enormous crush of people in the NYC / NJ area, personally. I’ve commuted the parkway for 13 years now into the immediate metro and it’s just scarring already, especially this time of year. I desire tranquility and a bit more nature than what I get where I live within the flat, boring fall line. Speaking purely in fanciful, idealistic terms; were money no object and lacking any pragmatic considerations I’d want to live in Alaska (puts me closer to my greatest earthly passions, three guesses on what that is ) or possibly coastal Maine. Perhaps one day I’ll be able to go exactly where I want, isn’t that the beauty of life? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afaik, the NYC area expressways and parkways were designed to ensure that the commuters would be ready to kill by the time they got to their office. That helped ensure NYC's dominance in business negotiations. Alaska is just wonderful, your fancies are entirely justified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
