  1. We lost power again overnight - it was about for 10 hours. I haven't ventured out into most of the woods yet but we had a decent tree down right near the road. More importantly two big trees on the neighbors land came down onto our stone wall and the pile of odds and ends I have behind one of our out buildings. The building looks okay but I could only look at the back from a distance due to all the branches by it.
  2. This is the biggest reason we only let my son by the small 3 oz syrups (and no fake syrup).
  3. We take turns pushing a wheel to generate it.
  4. Better shot of one of the bent birches, I had not noticed the red branches before
  5. Power is back for now, still hearing popping in the woods. Birches bent
  6. Of course we do, we’re not Tolland! (I assume the power grid is just permanently down there)
  7. Internet and phone are out too so maybe later, cell coverage here is very minimal
  8. I am pretty surprised I still have power. I put the dogs out about half hour ago and heard 3 branches come down in 5 minutes. Just shy of 10k without power in Vermont.
  9. tree just came down on neighbors property. We got about an inch of snow then the fzn rain before some light snow midday. Pines are saggy. Not much going on now but an ice storm warning for tonight/tomorrow. I'll be surprised if we keep power.
  10. Your dog clearly was happier last week when there was snow.
  11. So much water in the yard the last day or so. A good waterfall coming down the retaining wall too. I spent most of yesterday afternoon shovelling/pushing water onto the paver drive as it was backing up into the garage. Fortunately around dinner it started draining on its own before the rain hit.
  12. The downside to a snow pack here which is 15 weeks old is that it includes the remnants of 15 weeks of dog poo. With every melt day it just reveals more and more. What truly amazed me is how much dog hair is frozen to the glacier in my lower back yard. How two labradors can shed this much hair is beyond me!
  13. Actually I would give it a 7 or 8 so far. Need to see how the next 5 or 6 weeks go.
  14. We got an inch as well. Just enough to freshen the look of things.
  15. I had the "joy" of driving through that. There was an incredibly heavy batch between Waterbury Center and 89 and then very heavy on 89 from Waterbury to between Middlesex and Montpelier. Multiple cars off of 89. There was a mercifully short stretch on 100 where I could not make out the tracks made by a pickup which was less than 100 yards ahead of me.
  16. Here you go: Locked! Big big winter incoming! Lollies! Makes its own cold! Blizzardcane!
  17. Won't be sitting around the firepit soon
  18. I remember a night in 97 after there had been a wide tornado outbreak in the Midwest and we had thunderstorms forecast. You so often hear tornado survivors describing hearing a roar like a freight train preceding the impact. I was watching tv that night and heard that roar. I remember thinking "Oh crap a tornado does sound like a train" For the last 28 years it amazes me that for even just the two seconds it took me to remember, that I had forgotten that my apartment was 25 yards from an active train line.
  19. That shouldn't stop them. Dinner Pancakes FTW!
  20. With placemats like those, I like the odds that that restaurant serves pancakes
