Yep! 
I don’t mind being there at 6 AM with the scouts because I get first look at all of the vendors merchandise!

I went a couple years back and found pretty cool things.. good luck and hope you guys sell tons.. If not there's always Rietta Ranch in Hubbardston every Sunday but that might be kind of far but tons of people go.

Going to be interesting to see if it actually clears out before the afternoon now looking at a couple things. Seems like snow always clears out earlier than forecast and rain later

Nice ... 67 and the sky is allowing a flood of sun in.   Nice little sneaky gem day in between the shits.

We’ve clawed our way out of the 40s… now 50F.

I thought it was going to be nicer today.

Everywhere else 15-20F warmer to the SE.

It does.  It’s like 3 hours from my door to like Logan Airport but feels like it should be 6-8 hours haha.

This all supports my reasoning for eventually leaving VT from roughly March 15 through the end of May.

There is a Boston area met on various media outlets that is obsessed with droughts...

 

When there is any hint of dryness, we are in Stein mode...

I miss the old train stuff they had on display years back.  Now they have one decomposing boxcar

So umm.... how much of Saturday is ruined? Frustrating differences in guidance.

This helps a lot.... The google searches of "stein weather" "what is stein weather" "New England stein weather" were not as helpful....

You can get there that quick? Takes me 4 hours to get to Stow.

His last name is Epstein. So Epstein then became Droughtstein....and then just Stein. He's an avid gardener and when rain doesn't happen he gets very very upset.

The rain is thankfully. We mow we sun

Euro is 2 to 3 for most except far eastern areas and the cape with showers into Saturday afternoon.. Sunday looks really good though

Been steady with that. Still some models differing, but should be another soaker.

Straight shot on 89 to 93.  Draw a line from like BOS to Stowe and the interstates are pretty close to that.

Takes me a solid 4 to get to your hood at the Woodstock/Southbridge line.  Gotta go 89 to 91 down to Springfield at the Pike then over.
