  1. My original plan to pay out for 5 years had to be changed to 2 years to keep costs down. I have a history of lots of dementia on my mother’s side but as I age without any signs I’m already eyeing dropping it. Not yet though.
  2. It was amazing! And Walt posted on Eastern during or leading up to big events. Pure dumb luck to have that happen to me.
  3. True story: Feds were offered govt negotiated (but not govt paid) long term care insurance. This is circa October 2002 on a cool breezy day. They had this information session at the DOT facility near Kendall Sq. I see this guy running well ahead of me and I was rushing fearing being late. I get on the check in line where they were checking IDs and of course I forgot mine. The same guy is in front of me and I see it’s a NOAA badge and the name is Drag. I blurt out “Walt Drag” and he wheels around wondering who could know him there. The guard let me in and I sat next to him for the session. We talked snow a lot! An amazing coincidence! We stayed in email contact for awhile-brilliant and very nice man.
  4. 1993 was quite the apps runner around the 23rd. I think it actually snowed a bit on Christmas night but 3 days later we were off to the races.
  5. Well I guess the west has been due. We had fun at their expense-now it’s our turn in the barrel.
  6. And now I can’t go to VT as I’ve rebounded from paxlovid treatment and now have mild symptoms but testing strongly positive. Pisses me off but at least the rebound seems much milder vs when I first got it 10 days ago-more like a run of the mill cold.
  7. I'm sorry, missing out on a white Christmas doesn't sit in the same room as having 4 shitty winters in a row. Not close. One day vs 4 months. So given the importance, let's give that day a month's worth. You still are overdoing the bitching. But i love you and remember you snowblowing 30+ last winter.
  8. I"m looking at AirBnb places in Malaga (Spain). Get away from this mayhem. Supposedly lots of expats-could be a fun interlude. Wintering here is becoming mind numbing frustration.
  9. Well for me I’m getting ready to go to VT Sunday so I put Monday as my day because I’ll actually be able to pay attention. Long winter ahead.
  10. Still seems to be a lot of spread between deep cutters and off shore solutions on GEFS. Anyway, this is still 6 days away so I'm not stressing over it. If Monday evening we're cutting, I'm running.
  11. It feels like it should be later than 12/16 given how much discussion there has been in general this winter.
  12. Lol…maybe after his morning run at 5am he’ll retort while waiting 5 hours for me to wake up….
  13. I don’t think this is the whole story. Yes gfs has a known progressive bias but your initial reaction states “severe SE bias”. That is very strong wording and a lot of that severity has been fixed. You factor every model bias before tossing out of hand if you want to more than emotionally forecast.
  14. Eps at 144 (18z/16) showed the h5 trof going negative pretty far west. But it also kind of hinted at a little cad. Swfe maybe our salvation or at least consolation prize.
