Hitman

my wife picked up my daughter at school in Pittsburgh yesterday. they wore shorts and sandals as it was 82f and sunny there. they got home at 8pm to 52f.

I had 0.0 the last 2 days.

.62” in the can and counting.

Ha, if only. Due this lovely weather I spent the day shopping for a suit with the wife and seeing a matinee, long shot, which was actually pretty good.

Long story, When we moved in 20 years ago, my wife I cleared the backyard and I labored for years to get a good healthy lawn. I finally got it to be ok, and then about 5 years ago strange things started to happen like large patches of the pachysandra surrounding the lawn died off suddenly, and nothing kills that stuff. About the same time good grass died out too and was taken over by some invasive grass which goes completely dead in the winter. I fought it trying to patch spots and that was worthless. Then I rented a tiller and tilled the whole fooking thing, adding top soil and fertilizer before reseeding it. The new seed grew nicely for about 6-8 weeks but be the end of the summer was dead again. I suspect there is some kind of fungus effecting the whole backyard but I tried antifungal and it didn’t do anything. I’ve spoken to a few landscapers and they couldn’t come up with anything. That was 3 years ago and I haven’t had the heart to tackle the project again not knowing if it would work.

Wow, that lawn looks great. I’m ashamed of mine. .33” so far today. Lovely. #whenwillitend?

I’ve picked up a grand total of .18” since Sunday. Woo hoo. What a miserable pattern. Can’t imagine how anyone could like this.

And another gross day on tap to be followed by a crappy week. #springsucks.

Yes. I stick to the nne thread over there, but those guys r funny in a crazy kind of way. They really bust on DIT although in fairness he does kind of ask for it most of the time. i added .17” after I left for work this morning for a total of .93”. Not too shabby.

.76” in croton

I had 1.6”. Morning should be fine for outdoor activities tomorrow.

Soaked.

Everyone got hurt on that thing. There’s actually a funny documentary about action park available online and there was a movie based on it that came out last year.

Great gorge Vernon valley is now known as mountain creek

Mt Ellen is closed already. From a pure skiing perspective, the summit lift to the top is the perfect spring skiing venue especially with the mid station lodge at the base of that lift. But all the infrastructure, condos, lodges, bar are at Lincoln peak, so that’s why they favor operations there.

Chase for flakes. I’ll be at sugarbush but like where I sit.

Heading north tomorrow afternoon.

I'm always amused at those who claim this ski or that ski is better on ice. ice sucks and if its real ice, not just hard packed snow, you arent turning on it no matter what you're riding. My experience hasn't made me better skiing on ice, its made me smart enough not to even try to turn on it. and if you fall on it, it hurts.

I still have some patches of ice in the front of the house.

I didn’t want to say, but I can’t say I didn’t think it. It’s been awhile for me since I’ve seen intense snow rates.

Screenshot of the radar during the storm last night

.96” in 15 minutes.

Up to 5.85”/hr

Wow is it coming down. 4.8”/hour rate on the gauge.

nice and spring rarely go together. mud season FTL. I'm ready for it though. warmer up there than it is in the bronx right now.
