Even in my heyday, I never skied more than a handful of days a year. That's when I was doing school trips and we had a vacation place in ME to stay on vacations. Never skied more than a couple days in a row.

Plus the added cost of equipment since I don't own any.

But how would that help someone like me who lives 3-4 hours away from a major ski resort with no place to stay? Seems like season passes would work only if you had a place to stay nearby where you can hit the minimum number of days skiing to break even covering the cost of lodging.

Can't deny that living in a ski town or the sport itself have become mostly for the wealthy. I used to pay in the low $40s to ski for the day at Sunday River when I last skied there in the mid 1990s. Yup, now it's $120 for the same ticket.

I'm thinking they had cell service.

Happened at my bosses place in Chatham as well. Power was on but no XFinity service for another day after.

I probably could have gone for another 30min or so before it was fully quiet.

Nary a leaf has dropped in my yard.

What an sweet day to end the month. TORCH!

Anything prior to Jan 1st is gravy here.

I'm honored.

See if November can keep the trend of wet and warm going.

I see a repeating theme.

1.55" 8.42" MTD

0.80" now. Sofaking close to 8"

there's a reason oak is popular for hardwood flooring.

I loathe oaks. Stupid acorns and the leaves stay on the them right into Spring.

0.4" away. .73" storm total

Just take 'em all down. I hate having large trees too close to my house having to worry about one falling and damaging it.

They weren't reported to Mass.gov or MEMA TMLP https://www.tmlp.com/

While there was damage, it was not widespread. I've said I think it was the consistency of the higher gusts that led to more damage than normal. From my own experience in these high wind events we only see a couple high gusts, this storm seemed to have these stronger gusts quite frequently. I also think TB12s area may have fared worse than mine seeing that he's further N than where I am. I don't disagree that the gusts were higher 50-100' up, but we don't measure winds there. The few trees I saw damaged were a Spruce, notoriously easy to snap, weakened oaks, white pines, or more exposed trees where a limb or multiple truck can be easily snapped off.
