I wasn't expecting to see the issuance of a HWW.

Not warm enough.

Just lit mine as well. We're down to just a few days worth of wood though,, so while the need may be there for a while yet we'll be resorting to main heat soon.

The fact is there is a much larger margin of 'error' to result in a rain event than a snow event.. A storm tracking up the Hudson and one tracking through Cleveland are both going to be disasters. Move the storm off Nantucket we've got a winner. Move it 150 miles off that, you've got Chris enjoying Cirrus. Not winning. . 14. Maine > Taxes paid as pct. of income: 10.2% > Income per capita: $46,455 (21st lowest) > Income tax collections per capita: $1,166 (18th highest) > Property tax collections per capita: $2,055 (10th highest) > General sales tax collections per capita: $1,022 (17th highest)

Way off topic........but I was just looking at the distribution of NWS offices. Why does New England require 6 offices for forecasts? Compare that to California--it also has 6. Texas has 8. What's the rationale for these distirbutions?

Perfect timing for the Globe's water restrictions article yesterday.

Yeah--that changed once Romney got into office. I think we still give people the option to pay a higher rate if they choose. I think about 3 people choose to do that each year--probably from Somerville. Now we're Maskachussetts.

Welcome to the world.

Well, generally speaking, he's right.

One or two on this board share is the unfounded fear of the dust bowl every year. Yeah....Pit2 sitting at 43 and clouds. FTL.

You can take my hose when you pry it from my cold dead hand.

First-world problems.

We had had some work done at Pit2 last summer in which they laid down some sod. Is there any reason I should not put down any fertilizer on that? Any other recommendations for its first spring?

Nada here. I just said to my wife "so much for the big wind". Did I speak too soon?

70's here at Pit1, never got out of the 40's at Pit2. Spring is such a horrible season there.

71 and it is awesome.

shorts a definite today once the murk clears out. won't be suprised to see a sharp green-up today.

This would be worthy of a Pit2 trip if that were to hold. I have a feeling it won't stay that way.

Not Overloaded with hyperbole—just syllables.

It's wide everywhere below Merrymeeting Bay save the double-back at Doubling Point. It's 1.5 miles across from mi casa to Day's Ferry. I'm on a 'cliff' 10' above the mean high tide. We worry not.

Lol......spiking that ball a little to soon!!

This year notwithstanding, Put2 does just fine. Getting to the point in life when I see retirement in the nit-so-distant horizon. Then I sell Pit1 and settle in here full time. The Good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.

There was no reason to leave Mass this winter. I can’t wait to be here full time. Best of summer and winter. Spring sucks in the Midcoast though. (Not today, though!).

We had come close twice to buying a place up there (one in Jackson, one in Bartlett). In retrospect, really happy to have scored Pit2. Summer's the real reason for being here, but we do okay with the winter. Sometimes we flirt with a coastal front but still manage to get similar to ORH with snows. Started at 24* here, up to 45 now.
