We start the league last week of April, we used to start earlier but we'd always get a cold rain day or sometimes just too freaking cold to play. One year it was around 40 with drizzle, most miserable I've even been on the course.
I found I can't drink and golf, I save the beer for the clubhouse when the round is done, nothing like an ice cold beer after a round of golf on a hot day.
I underdressed for an early April game once too and was cold as hell, kept running underneath to the concessions to warm up. Boston in April can chill you to the bone.
The Dec 92 storm, Nemo and the April's fool storm were some of the highest rates I can remember. I got 12 inches in 3 hours with Nemo, not sure of 97 but it was a consistent 2-3 even 4 inches per hour for awhile.
One year I didn't see a spider all spring into the summer which I thought was odd as I always see them. One hot, humid night I come home and my foundation is covered with centipedes, hundreds of them. I ended up getting some WP Demon and sprayed a few times and got rid of them but it was like a scene from the twilight sone. Wiz would have freaked out. Before I killed them they started getting into the house everywhere, with my central air they would dry up and die but glad I got rid of them.
Me too but they're in your house, they're in every house, the other day while I was working a big ass spider crawled up to me on my desk, I tried to smash it with my lamp but he got away, he's still lurking somewhere.
Mt BIL has 50 acres in Holland MA and his land borders a state forest and he has a lot of deer, most we ever counted at one time is 12, I never realized they hung out in such large herds. I've had 4 in my yard a few times but never saw 31, that's great to watch.
