Sure are plenty of expensive homes and businesses there. In terms of loss of life and loss of homes for people who don't own 6 of them I worry about the gulf coast more.

Back in the 80's we had a converted Chevy Van 20 (still remember the badge). The engine died after 20k or 30k and they would not warranty it. I don't remember what happened in the end but my dad and then by extension me never bought another GM vehicle after that.

Ouch.. IIRC they have had a 10 year warranty covering those years. That's pretty crazy, usually the warranty is timed to run out before common major issues like that.

If we're competing for longest outage I'll put in my entry. Was out over a month in FL for Charlie. It absolutely sucked for the couple days we stayed there, so hot and humid and still and ultra buggy and fire ants outside. We didn't stick around for it though. Luckily was able to borrow a snowbird's condo on the other side of the state. Of course loss of life and injury is the worst and destruction of property comes after that but extended outages are definitely not fun. Also note that it's a freaking mess on the roads when there are no traffic lights.

That would indicate that it used to be a good hurricane. This thing is more like Sam Darnold.

Based on past mistakes I tend to avoid forecasting and poo pooing storms before the impact is known, but It truly looks like crap at the moment. Gloria was 145mph and Bob was 115 before they started weakening and both moved faster than this is forecast to. The slow speed logically would mean that there may be big rainfall totals, but that appears to be setting up west of our area if at all. If the bar is for widespread power outages and small flooding in SNE this will probably clear it, but beyond that seems very doubtful.

Time to upgrade the thread title.

Best time to buy is right after you suffer through an outage.

Same recollection on the North Shore. Gloria did a bunch of tree damage and power was out for days.

So any notable historic storms that slowed or stalled like some of these model runs?

I "witnessed" around 120mph in Port Charlotte in the bathtub forming a human shield over my baby. It was definitely less enjoyable than you would surmise based on people's desires here. Still a decent part of me is always wishing for each storm to hit.

We bought a few bags for the daily cold brew and decided to go back to making our own ice cubes. What is up with the smell from convenience store ice cubes? Do the still make them from pond water?

Storm for Manch/Hooksett has a bunch of lightning. Near constant thunder for a few mins here now.

Just a really light T-shower in Bow but I'll take the 75 degrees down from 91 before this started.

Looks really solid.

Very unimpressive here in Bow. Cool air feels great though.

Good thing there's no virus banter in this thread. People should come or come back to the ampol site. Got my 1st Pfizer shot today at an Osco inside a Shaws. Was pretty casual compared to what I've seen at the mass vaccination sites. Was in and out in like 20 mins. I'm happy to have gotten it and looking forward to getting the protection in a couple weeks.

Nice, my wife and I just scheduled for Saturday

Damn winds. Power outage here in Bow.

Just had some thunder.

I haven't gotten out a ton but the price makes it tempting to get the epic local again. Maybe re-schedule my ill fated Tahoe trip originally planned for March '20. Hadn't checked out Indypass before though, seems like a decent option especially since I usually end up spending at Pat's Peak a couple times since it's right down the street. Anyone know when '21-22 pricing comes out?

I have been to Sunapee and Crotched recently and that was my experience too. Good job skiers and Vail resorts or whoever is responsible.
