Snow collapsed my small high-tunnel the other day.  RIP winter spinach.  Did just dig out the last batch of carrots, though.

His map seems correct.  You’re certainly >3F this week no?

3.3” up here by the Presumpscot. 

Managing to claw our way to a slightly below normal December. You’ve had several inches more than me though so the Jetport might squeak out normal.

That last event, with the coastal front, is the difference between our locations.

I'm assuming that was you who answered the phone at 4 this morning?  Sorry about the delayed report.  I set aside the can to melt on it's own and fell asleep on the couch.  I almost never let it melt on its own, too.

2.1” of snow on top of the 1.1” of frozen goulash. That puts the depth at 7” of glacier. 

Glacier is the right word.  Bulletproof pack. My first-year chicks aren't ready for this.

3.4" event total (0.47 liquid) with 2.4" of that coming after 10PM. Current depth 7".

That’s something to brag about in ME in late December?

Absolutely not, but when that t**t was trolling with >3F anomaly maps last week, we post verification (or not).

Where's the snow

Maine, bub

Where's that wretched rag @forkyfork?  31F max | 1.0" new | depth 4.0"

0.8" finally flipped to ice pellets, looking like zr soon.

It’s trying. 

Holding on by a thread here.  Melting line came close on CC but starting to sag back south down 95.  27F and SN-.

Jerry’s solo bands were top-notch. In the mid-70s he was playing with Eric Clapton type skills but with a little bit more acid drenched sound.

I saw the Jerry Garcia band a half dozen times between 1988 and 1993. Soulful and sublime.

This is why I love listening to them.

That's hilarious about Ben and Owen.  I was at that 20th anniversary show myself (which was almost 20 years ago itself!).  Pretty cool you got to see backstage. I can only imagine the sh*tshow it was back then.  Much more tame now as most of them are sober/healthy.

Went to the Camp Oswego Phish Festival in July 1999.  Hottest 3 days ever.  Was in the upper 90s.  Good time seeing them, Del McCoury and Son Seals.

A few years before my first show.  Must've been brutal on the tarmac with 0 shade.

I am not much of a Phish fan but I have a bunch of their original LPs in my vinyl collection that are worth at least a mortgage payment or two.

I had kind of forgotten about them because I bought them so many years ago and then I looked them up on eBay and laughed out loud.

Yes, if you have them from before the resurgence of vinyl, they are definitely worth some coin.  I love having a few of their records on vinyl, and they've started doing some live stuff now, too, but I couldn't justify spending that much.

I'm starting to build a small live JGB collection on vinyl.  I'm a sucker for Jerry jams.

Also I don’t know how you can put fall 21 over the baker’s dozen summer, no matter how good it was. 

I guess I don't think of the BD as a tour, more of a stand or run.  Semantics, I suppose.  But yeah, BD was filthy night after night.  So, "best tour since 1.0 minus bakers", IMO.

Sounded like Halloween was the big spreader night, I'm sure the pyrotechnics didn't help the already-bad ventilation.  First 3 nights of Vegas sounded amazing on tape, but listening to the sci-fi set was a lot of work, I'd say you dodged multiple bullets that night, and made out $ wise. That's amazing you got 850 for a behind the stage ticket.  

MSG ticket prices are way down.  I'm real tempted to make a run down there for a night.  I just need to keep an eye on the weather.  I'm the climate observer for snow for PWM, so if it's going to snow I have to be here.  I can get someone to do the depth easily, but if it's actively snowing asking someone to run out there at midnight for an observation isn't fair.

What did you think of 4.0? I went to the Halloween run and it was the first phish I have listened to in ages. 

I think this past fall tour was their best tour since 1.0.  No joke.  Willing to dive into the abyss freely at any moment, in any song.  How was the Halloween show?  Everyone I know who went liked the set, but most of their crew caught COVID.

@TezetaI have a pair of Atlas that have treated me well.  I've had them for 16 years, and use them about a 15-20 times a season.  No clue what I paid for them back then, though.

7.4" total

My sister lives just south of Portland and always does much better snow wise that I do here., plus it's a 10 minute ride to the beach.

I grew up just nextdoor in Sturbridge, moved up here when I was 18 and never looked back

Still ripping

Good morning t f when I was young, a dream of mine was to settle in Portland. I wanted to look west to hills and mountains, east to my beloved ocean and still enjoy the beauty of the cold season. My dreams sadly ended up, as best described by this line in the Evans/Livingston song, “they just lie there and they die there”. Have a wonderful, bountiful season, as always ….

Thanks, I feel pretty fortunate to be here, and to have settled here before it became the place to be.  Within 5 minutes of my house I can see Mt. Washington (on a clear day), and take a dip in the Atlantic.  Not many places and make that claim.

@OceanStWx

Speaking of midnight, why are the observation times 700/1300/1900 then midnight, not 0100? I mean I appreciate the extra hour of sleep but seems odd to have a 5 hour window (and subsequently 7 hour).

4.9" on 0.38" liquid. Jetport out to an early lead over me despite my elevation advantage.

That coastal enhancement really pounded last night.  Still coming down right now too.
