He’s giving them to all of us. Seems like too much effort to me...

What’s with all these weenies from mersky?....lol.

Thank you! Up to Vermont weekend after next. Maybe some early snow?

I accept that assignment!

Yeah I’ve been feeling the anxiety for weeks....just allowing it to happen....a good winter will be helpful! Summer of 2020 was stolen from me and if I’m lucky enough to make it to summers in the future that won’t happen again!

Thanks Steve! Kinda surreal now....after looking forward to this day for decades it’s here!

Maybe we can combine 2010-11 with 1995-96 and go Thanksgiving to April!

What I’ve done going forward-retiring with my last day Wednesday the 30th- is to manage risk. So to avoid all the hassle of schlepping, I opted out of face to face care in my retirement gig. Spoke to the authorities there and was asked “are you ok working remotely but only 1 day a week?”. Am I ok? I’m fukking ecstatic! One of my assignments is to develop remote care options-something I’ve provided for millions in the system I’m retiring from nationally for the past 16 years. A lot of people want my services so I need to be careful-time is what I’m looking most forward to-that and euro pbp in mid winter in the middle of the night...lol.

True. But we now know that some people are long termers n the effect and it’s nearly impossible at this point to decide who. The best bet is to use common sense and so many 18-30 year olds don’t.

I’m on the ginxy train. We were the only ones in 2010-11 also.

I’m observing my local squirrels rapidly fattening up.

Reinfection would most assuredly result in miler presentations such that over a relatively short time no one will need to mask. One of the reasons postulated from the 1918-19 pandemics that affected young people seemingly more severely is the fact that 30 years prior...not sure the year but it could have been 1888 or 1890 a similar but milder flu went through the population. The older people had some immunity such that if they got the 1918 version, the presentation was much milder. This isn’t the flu but my guess is the worst is absolutely over and hopefully I’m right.

As is often the case

Really nice write up Ray. Tough call!

Wow!

And I don’t begrudge the rage. Heck, I’ve had great personal losses including my parents and only sibling but 12/30/00 is right up there...

Phineas raging from MD gets last laugh from Randolph NH.

Randoph, NH must avenge 130-140?

I'm going to do some time in Stowe at some point. Freak needs to get a real estate license so I can give him some business. I was in LA for 15 years and started interviewing for jobs on the east coast. The first one was DC and my perspective was it snowed plenty considering where my prior 15 years were. But the concept of upslope and synoptic snow on so many days is really appealing to me. Plus summers are really nice. Damn-8 more work days-and I'm waiting for HR to mess this up......gotta baby sit every process. Taxes in VT are really high though. Here, a big chunk of my retirement income is exempt from state income taxes and property taxes in my town are not bad at all.

I remember you strongly advising me to rid our flat roof of our old home of snow and shovel the deck. I was 10 years younger-easier in those days.

2010-11 was home to one of my all time melts on the eve of getting 15 inches.

SSTA in’s September match.

Here we go!

Hard copied for comparison purposes.

Boston made it. We had a nice 8 inch dump but ORH may have been fringed plus a few other smaller events. That’s an underrated winter!
