Agreed 100%. Dollars are a greater concern than the environment. It's more about the money the the environment. The US gets nearly $50B a year in gas tax. The state (MA) gets about $750M/year on gas tax. As people move to electric and as efficiencies increase, governments will not tolerate a drop in revenue. They will raise the taxes to the point they can and will be adding a 'miles-driven' tax to everyone. Similarly with cigarette taxes. Ostensibly those revenues (close to $1B per year) are intended to focus on targeted causes, e.g. anti-smoking efforts. In reality, the vast majority goes to the state's general fund and not any 'targeted cause'.

What are people’s thoughts on putting down fertilizer this afternoon? Will we get showers tonight or is watering needed in which case I’ll postpone).? tia

You're on a Pulp Fiction role these days, Jerry!

Sun peaking through the clouds. Up to 57*.

Today sucks......cloudy and 55*. Much nicer at Pit2--who would have thought.

Off topic but this just in from CDC..... #ditchthemask

p/c for here says 'no'. Pit2 stuck in the 50's. Par for the course.

Paging Georgia O'Keefe. Is there a Georgia O'Keefe in the house?

Love that movie.

Well this post is no longer valid. Really dark with wind-driven rain. Temp drop of 12* so far.

Yup--much nicer today. It's amazing the difference a little sun makes.

My co-workers who live in IN, KY, and OH are all posting their snow pics this morning.

Envious. Mostly clouds here, ftl.

Bride of Stein.

It only takes one day of sun to inspire tweets of a dooming drought.

Just horrible for BGR and PWM.

Can you send that west? We're fully overcast this morning.

Also posted this in the lawn thread: Does anyone have recommendations for a nursery in Worcester/Middlesex Counties that sells, delivers, and plants fairly mature bushes/trees? Not looking for huge things, but still like 7-8' mountain laurels. Thanks!

Yup--really coming down nicely.

Dumping big fatties--at least for the time being.

flipped back to snow.

Just a white ground here. Congrats to the winners.

We eagerly await the stories.
