HIPPYVALLEY

Just got back from spending a night in Keene NH, great town but what a snow hole, they literally have half as much snow as anywhere between there and Greenfield. Phenomenal new brewery there though, called ModestMan. Just opened two weeks ago and all of their offerings were spectacular! This is coming from somebody who works in a brewery and is picky as hell about beer.

Their earliest opening evah'!

Count me in.

Also, New England Hurricane, A Factual Pictorial Record By the Federal Writers Project is pretty good. It was published in 1939 but you can find acceptable copies for short money.

Not much left in the Bahamas but GFS said Florida gets in on the action this time.

US news outlets have no interest in Atlantic Canada. it's boring. It will be a slow process getting everybody online as it will be a street by street effort. At one point 80% of Nova Scotia was without power. I can't imagine there are much more than 50k people on PEI. New Brunswick has a lot of customers out as well.

1) Blizzard of 78 (I was 10 and school was cancelled for a week!) 2) April Fool s 97 (Awesomeness!) 3) January 2005 Blizzard (30"+ in Cambridge) 4) October 2011 Snow Storm (Freak storm) 5) Hurricane Irene (Western New England flooding was surreal) Runner up: Feb 2013 I've had several personal severe weather episodes that have been personally mind blowing but were isolated so I went with the historic stuff.

Except in Jan-Feb when I need it!

We actually ended up with a nice 30 minutes of rain and .10" when I expected partly cloudy.

My relatives are up off the water but it is starting to look bigger than Juan at this point.

Not sure how susceptible Halifax Harbor is to surge? I would guess the big issue is downed trees because there are so many big beautiful trees in the Halifax-Dartmouth area, never mind the outskirts. Probably looking at a few days without power but not too much structural damage. I know folks in Yarmouth, Sable River, Lunenburg and Halifax.

Yeah, I'm not psyched for my in-laws right now, they are going into buckle down mode.

Great place to have relatives to visit!

Good luck! My sister in law and family are in Dartmouth so I'll try to stay in touch with them and get pictures if they can.

That's his aura.

What's good for Florida may be hell for the Carolina's.

Which 0z are already out? Paid sites I assume?

Canadian High ftw? Although many weenies would be disappointed a full ots miss would be awesome. Partial landfall, slow crawler up the coast would not be so good but better than direct hit of course.

Oh' I was guessing Tahoe.

So well done!

UMass has a mail in soil testing program.

Always. Lawn is a luxury item.

Worcester Co. was definitely the dividing line for haves and have nots. Big difference in totals from SE to NW. .Worcester County...

My friend in Dover VT just texted me he had 12-14" there as of midnight with light snow still falling.
