  1. ...Hot temps and weenies roasting in late September. The breakdown of society has begun.
  2. Its mainly due to the cost of doing work in the northeast...unions, cost of construction, rent/ real estate costs, etc. There is an article somewhere that talks about the chain, Wawa and how the northeast is a costly place ro open stores. Sometimes you will see a store like Old Navy or some other crappy chain store opened up in a high rent area of a city. People wonder how they can afford to stay open. Sometimes that particular location will take one for the team so to speak, barely making ends meet in order to maintain a brand image that people can see and will remember. Places like fast food are tough, and risky to take a chance on, especially a place like Chick-Fil-A where they are sticking to their high ground with regard ro being closed on Sunday. That is a huge loss of business if you are paying triple net on your high rent lease.
  3. I guess it was worth the risk to catch that 6" wave on near flat waters.
  4. What is there to be concerned about? People have discussed it. Extended summer mode. That's it. Yup. I don't think people care as much as others would like them to. Not going to mention names, but...
  5. How about a top secret, super-duper nino?
  6. Lol. Did you actually deal with this, or did it just stop on its own?
  7. ...Charts, Charts, and MORE CHARTS! BRING on the CHARTS!!!
  8. lol. Stop. It's definitely not the same kind of uncomfortable as July or August. I am pretty sure those who are not installed anymore, or who did not install will live.
  9. It has been all around a B++/A- in my books. Even with the humid days. The good thing about those days is they did not linger on for ever. Plus the lack of rainy weekend days were nice for people like me who work on the weekdays, and have weekends off.
  10. Swimming at the lake though October FTW.
  11. I don't recall the final totals for the mid-Atlantic that season (probably because I went to therapy and had such thoughts hypnotically removed from my mind), but I don't remember them getting more snow than way up north. Wow.
  12. The only jack South of the pike for the next 6 months.
  13. Awful story. Same shit in the Adirondacks. There is about 2-6 weeks in late May through June that you just dont want to be outside. There is actually a road race named the Blackfly challenge during that period. 2 words, Fu.ck That. That Bens is good , but like you say, not 10 hours. Also, its not supposed to be applied to the skin, which I have done.
  14. ...This is the shit to use. You may never be able to have kids again, and die of diseases not discovered yet, but nothing comes near you.
  15. It may not come until late December with a hard freeze by early January, and then back to mosquito weather by early March. You need to always be prepared for such outcomes.
  16. I am bad with dates but... March 93 Snow April 97 Snow Some insane heatwave in like July/August of 91. Irene 2 other snowstorms in the past 7 years, but I don't recall the dates without going into my archives which are at home. (I was in Rockland County NY during Sandy, which was a bigger event down there)
  17. Zero people are cranky in this forum about not having a cool September...ZERO
  18. Cool pic from the other day during the Tornado watches here in CT. This was taken in I-384 by a friend.
  19. You actually think he is wishing for his house and property, and neighbors house and property to be gutted by a quick moving CAT 3 or an F-2?
  20. Yeah. I don't think Kev is really wishing for the damage on top of his head, but in fantasy the idea of a huge, historic even nearby is pretty exciting. But when it finally happens, you wish it didn't. Your place was right in the path of that storm. It must have been pretty shi*ty.
  21. This combined with all of the extra acorns all summer long only mean one thing...We are headed into uncharted territory with regard to cold and snow.
