    When I was on vacation in Alaska I visited a gold mining place that taught you how to pan for gold and they had a room that they kept at -50 so you could experience what the miners did in the Yukon. Minus 50 hurts. I've experienced minus 35 once and that hurt right to your bones.

    That's what I do, I got my CT license and Mass and have to turn down more work that I get because I can't keep up, been working 6-7 days a week since covid, been working nights too and last night I fell asleep working and woke up at 4am with the mouse in my lap. The checks coming in make up for the fatigue though.

    Conn Valley snow hole is apparent

    That must have freaked some people out.

    Current values are above 2005 in most of New England, you should be good now plus you had 15 years to pay it down.

    Give me a good second half of Jan and most of Feb and I'm good with that.

    The chisel my uncle gave me is also handmade, he made it when he worked at Pratt & Whitney. Ice usually insnt too thick here so I chop a hole pretty quickly, one year it over two feet thick and took awhile to chop through that.

    Most of Mass too, most are going above asking price. There's a crunch, people know they can sell their house quick but then they need to find another home to move too and there's competition up the ying yang, people are getting top dollar for their homes so they're willing to pay top dollar for the next one, very unusual market, it's not going to last, never does.

    Thought it was a hand auger, that's pretty cool, never saw an electric one. We used to catch a lot of pike ice fishing, some perch too. Used to go with my uncle a lot, when he moved down south he gave me all his ice fishing stuff, the tips I got are from 1950 but they work well.

    He hasn't dug the holes yet, it takes a while with those hand augers, I'd rather chip it than use those augers

    Safe ice on the smaller ponds here, saw some ice fishermen today and some kids playing hockey on another, also saw the bigger ponds/lakes with open water. Maybe the cold that's on it's way will put a good coating on the bigger ones.

    Decent snow shower when I was in Holden earlier, they still have some snow on the ground, actually looks winterlike up there.

    Part 2 this week, it was very good.

    I'm going to try garlic this year, usually do tomatoes, peppers and cukes and some basil and oregano.

    Cleveland making a run here, might be a game.

    Where are you located? Closer to the mountain?

    I got s coating last week, I think north Worcester got a bit more, I was up there earlier this week and they still had a solid coating on the ground.

    He's ok, I like the potential on the 26th

    I belonged to a ski club back in the early 80's, I remember it being a year like this and once we got up to the Loaf there was 3 feet of snow, not a banner year but decent pack up there.

    Should be a good snow game in Buffalo this weekend.

    If it's not going to snow, sure, been great.

    A reminder that's it's January in New England.

    I was wondering the same thing. On radar it looks like you're getting it a little heavier than me, ground is coated here.
