I went to Agawam this afternoon and the difference between here and there is pretty crazy.  a bunch of trees already with leaves and flowers blooming while here trees are just starting to bud.. 

Yep the valley torched 85-90, we avoided any ocean influence until basically today, and everything really exploded.  We're always the furthest ahead this time of year.  The Hartford/Wethersfield area on 91 is basically full blown leaf out.

Summah!

Hopefully a nice little preview of what’s to come back at home about a month from now, minus the bath water ocean ofc . Sending you all my best from the emerald coast.

Beautiful spring AM in New England.

Pretty smart of him to plan his baby in mid-winter. The model graphics at home are better than in the cruiser.

You can see him aiming for every winter off with a new child

And we should probably reflect in awe that a woman was involved -

wtf is the hrrr doing later tomorrow.

[Typhoon Tip]

well, I might otherwise be taken aback by the fact that we're going below freezing tomorrow night under a full on January thermal sounding structure ... buuuut, welcome to the biggest piece of shit geographical spring region on planet Earth - i.e., not surprising

probably trying to resolve the anachronistic circumstance of nearing solar max blazar energy dumping into meta-physically imposed January cold hell 

[WxWatcher007]

What a difference a day makes...70s and sun yesterday, 60 at midnight, 32.4 and snowing now.

No. New York has paid family leave, it’s fully paid. FMLA is unpaid. Good for him to live in a state with such generous benefits for new parents.

New York State has Family Medical Leave Act where you can take up to 12 weeks for males bonding with kid and females who gave birth along with other medical reasons. Just have to fill out paperwork and I had to mail them my son's birth certificate. 

I had 750 hours of PTO so im using at least 500. You have a choice of using that to get paid or just that 12 weeks of unpaid leave .

My wife is already thinking about another kid so I have to start doing overtime again. 

There is another leave caller Family Leave Act where you can take up to 12 weeks and don't have to use time and get paid half your pay check.

I used FMLA and used PTO. I had a choice though.

FMLA for men was just created a few years ago.

You’ll get some rain…probably 1/4” type amounts for most.

It’s actually 2/3 of your pay, up to a cap. A great benefit for new parents, my wife took advantage of it, but I only took a week off for each kid
