Snowmobilers can probably rally the CT river from Noho straight to Bellows Falls

Edit- Might have to cut around Turners

River ice no thanks

one thing I've noticed this winter is I haven't found one spider in the house.. you would think with all this cold they would be looking for some place warm 

Don't worry. They're all at @weatherwiz house.

My high school was like a college campus requiring you to walk outside building to building between each class. Jan 94 was a fun one for that. 

My 5th grade teacher made me leave class ("Get OUT!") for cutting up, on a 15F Jan day.  She meant, "out" as in "outside", where she could see me... no trip to the locker to grab the jacket, either... I stood out there the whole period.  She'd be keel-hauled these days, but back then it was just a 'lesson learned' - by me.  Model student in her class after that lol

Yeah she’s doing 3-5 at a minimum security prison if she did that today

I was in Smith (RIP). I actually watched them tear it down during the summer of 2010.  Eames was a women’s dorm. Smith was a men’s dorm.  We shared a cafeteria in Smith as well as access to the steam tunnel connecting across University Ave

Lots of people caught with their pants down with empty oil tanks and a surge in heating oil spot prices around here. Jumped like a dollar or more in the last week around New Haven. Hearing there is huge waits for deliveries.

Up at SLK we have oil for the first time. That first delivery hurt like hell. Since then we’ve been limiting the oil use and letting the propane fireplace heat the house. Seems to be working so far.

I used to get locked in the supply closet for being a wise ass (I know hard to believe).  They tried the nurse's office first but then discovered I was quite comfortable napping on the examining table.

Just filled my tank 2 weeks ago.  I have wood and pellet options in my house.  Looks like I filled the tank at the right time.   Emptying an oil tank is not good. Need to change the filter and have someone bleed the line to the boiler/furnace.

That would track with the cold temperatures.

My apple weather app never said it was going to snow. So I guess we should have known.
