Great Snow 1717

During my hs years there was a year where the clocks remained on Daylight Savings Time...it was awful. Kids falling asleep in class. Stayed mostly dark till late morning on stormy days.....kids waiting at the bus stops in complete darkness..at the far western end of the eastern time zone it will be worse with sunrise not occurring till 9AM ish.. Another brilliant decision by the band of idiots who have damaged the country

Back in college I said the exact same thing to a prof...he said in my case it wasn't helpful for me to ask questions..

Yes it does...

Getting tested takes a short amount of time. Around the 4th of July 2025 I was bitten by "something" on the back of my right leg. By pure chance I touched the back of my leg and it felt sore...I had my wife take a look and she told me there was about a 3 inch area of redness. I knew instantly it was cellulitis. I went to a walk in center and I was on antibiotics within 2 hours. I did ask the doctor on the 1-10 scale what was the level of the cellulitis and she said it was a 3...then she added that cellulitis can quickly progress and it is good you came in.. Do yourself a favor...get seen today ASAP by a medical professional..early treatment is always the best treatment..

Walk in centers are a good choice too

Methuen borders Lawrence I can always smell smoke where I live in Methuen....

I recall the Mayan calendar hype..well here we are in 2026 lol..

Just wait till that sets up for Xmas week.. Ray's place in methuen

If my memory is serving me well the missing episode is the Nostradamus episode....about his various predictions for how the world ends There was a show titled Doomsday Preppers but while that had some end of the world scenarios it primarily was about how people were preparing for catastrophic events. Another interesting show is "While the Rest of US Die"

I may be wrong but I think you are thinking of "How The World Ends"...

There are people here who found last winter to be challenging...they sure ain't going to be able to handle the aftermath from a direct hit by a major hurricane..

You joining the forum is like drafting Tom Brady in the 6th round!!

100% agree...I think the unraveling will begin within 48 hours. Once the shock wears off and people begin to realize how bad the situation is.....many people couldn't handle the covid lock downs. The aftermath of a direct hit from a strong hurricane will make the Covid lock downs seem like a trip to Disney World.

....the deniers are going to continue to deny. It is part of their DNA. I can tell you played chess just by your posts because you consider other possibilities that other people write off far too quickly.

I guarantee the vast majority of people here have never bothered to read the entirety of their home insurance policy....they will be surprised when they read the part about paying a certain percentage of the damage ... How many home owners have flood insurance??

I know several families who moved back to New England after experiencing a hurricane while living in Florida.. People in New England are ill prepared for a direct hit from a strong hurricane. They talk tough but that toughness would vanish once they realize that an Oct snowstorm is a flurry when compared to a direct hit from a major hurricane

Falls under the heading of people being careful what they wish for. The impacts will be far greater and far more long lasting than they think it will be. Why anyone wants the devastation of a redux of 1938 is beyond me. All I can say is some of them folk better have a plan in place to protect themselves, their families and their belongings..the hassle of finding people to repair the damage is going to pale in comparison to the protection aspect of the recovery....

While there are still some holdouts regarding global warming I think it is obvious that global warming is taking place. And yes the threat is looming..

Made me think of this... ..one of the best Christmas movies of all time..

The question remains...did you send out HAPPY POWER OUTTAGE CARDS?? LOL

Uhmm you failed to answer the question...

Did you also send out Happy Power Outtage cards??? "Wishing You All The Best With Your Spoiled Food!".....

Within 24 hours he'd be complaining about the power not being restored...

Difficult to say without seeing a photo....Hopefully it is not a deer tick...
