First flakes... and icy patches of the season on the way in to work in Granby and at the shop in Simsbury

Some light sleet moving through Westfield at the moment

And I've been waiting for 1888 since Grover Cleveland was resident... who gets theirs first?

Yeah, that's on my agenda for this weekend

What event?? We had no wind whatsoever in Westfield. Last Friday night, now THAT was some wind around midnight

We are 62 at night, and 65/66 during the day when home. Pellet stove running, It'll get easily to 68 on low on a cold day.

I can't stand a hot home. And overheating the interior is a great way to help dry you out, leading to a better chance of illness

It will be great for an area like that. I'm in the middle of a major basement remodel where I ripped out a '50s rec room so I can insulate everything properly, and then ultimately put back the rec room to look just like it did back then. I have been considering a small pellet stove for the area since it works so well upstairs

We LOVE ours. It's in the living room fireplace, and due to the design of our house the heat is able to circulate through the entire first floor. Second floor stays cool... but we prefer it like that. I had thought that running it mid winter would help lower the gas bill, but it did not. The cost of that many pellets and the gas easily exceeded the cost of just running the natural gas furnace. It is much more economical for us to just use it in between seasons and occasionally for a little extra warmth or ambiance in the living room.

We call it pellet stove season in our house. We've barely used the gas heat yet. The pellets aren't economical to try to supplement the gas heat midwinter, but they're great for the in between seasons

Crazy things happening at work the last week and a half so the only thing I ever looked at was the wonderful 'ol GFS... probably two or three days ago now

For sure, especially after modeling looked like it was going to be the eastern Mass area that got blasted

Really!? We were just shy of 3 inches in Westfield

I'm heading to an event in Hilliard Ohio tomorrow morning. I'll be taking RT 80 through PA, and hoping to see some good color along the way.

It's fun to have at least something to watch... but I'm more interested in the pattern after this time frame. Gut says the first cold push is waiting in the wings. I really need to finish my re-insulation prOject at the house!

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. And I'm done with seeing double barrel lows the last few years lol

We call it Fuccuweather in our house

Very much a MEH storm out my way. Very little wind of any kind. I believe about 1.25" And, lets not have these double boob lows showing up this winter

Hops and barley?

30 in Westfield at 5:30 A.M. 31 in Simsbury now. First windshield scrape of the season

Same here, but not until the rain stops... may end up being this weekend. It actually ran a little yesterday, we have to keep the house below 75 for the chinchillas

My husband is 20 years younger, I can't handle anything more And, I may be gayer than D.I.T.s jogging shorts... but I'm a one man guy

Pretty much the same crap that's going on in Mass...

Cleaned and serviced ours last weekend, and ran it for an hour this A.M. 36 degrees in Westfield this morning

I was thinking that myself, pre season form haha. And as always Ray, thanks for all the effort you put in here.
