    RIP to Toots Hibbert, a frequent visitor to Northampton in the late 90s and early 2000s back when there was a great local reggae scene. Guy was a legend.

    gondy is running at Killington too for mtn biking.

    KMart superthread?
  4. radarman
    Hiked KMart today and mask usage on trail might have been 10%. And really that was 10% higher than it needed to be.

    On the whole though I agree with PFs and PBs sentiment. It'll be a full calendar year plus of having to roll with the punches, just gotta deal with what comes and appreciate whatever opportunities you have to be out in the snow. We're all in on uphill, lift served we're treating as bonus.

    Hell the science says that porous, stretchy fabrics (common to gaiters) actually increase transmission. And most actual ski masks literally have holes. I also disagree that most wear them. Maybe on the coldest days but not on the majority of days. Imagine skinning with a mask? LOL

    I'd say the beaches are about 50/50 masks during schlep down but I've not experienced dirty looks because I think deep down folks know it's dumb. To be fair packed beaches occurred much earlier on with more uncertainty. These days we have a whole summer sample size of minimal outdoor transmission to draw on. If there's a mask requirement on the hill it's purely for the optics.

    I'd like to see the science behind a mask requirement on the hill.

    The road over Independence Pass into Aspen is pretty sweet too. Did it before game 3 of the 2007 WS against the Rockies only a few days before it closed for the season. Very snowy at the 12k' sign. Near the top the road goes to basically 1 lane with no guard rail. It's awesome.

    Reports of damage and power outages in Granby/Btown on NWS Chat Cue Troy Brown... "Bingo!"

    Front edge kind of bowing out a little coming through this area. Got some heavy rain, briefly. Beard's hill might have had a decent gust.

    would be better if it were a cactus behind him

    Just got home from the cape... Pouring the length of the pike, crazy lightning. Then all sorts of trees and branches and wires down through Palmer and S Belchertown. Roads closed had to detour several times. SILs in Ware no power and damage. Not quite as bad here by Quabbin however. Will have to review the radar data. Been an active couple months here.

    9/11/13 is right up there with 7/22/11 IMO

    Sweet pic. Been a good rainbow year.

    Back healed?

    As usual Btown getting its daily downpour

    Would be nice but no. Some fam has been renting the same place every August for 30+ years. Great spot to relax, definitely on the quiet side at night. The lake speaks for itself of course, fishing/boating/swimming, and there are lots of sandy public beach areas facing all directions. On any given day you might rather be on one side or another. Definitely worth visiting, minor deduction for being inaccessible after 10/31.

    Frye Island is extremely dusty right now... A lap around the island gives you a thin layer of silt all over the car and the roadside vegetation is covered in a powdery coating. All the same, it turned into a pretty nice evening. Sun mostly out by about 230 and warmed up to mid 70s. Water about that too.

    One cell after another back built. Heavy rain and thunder

    Anyone know if 38 was rainy east of the center? Being more purely tropical I'd suspect it might have been. Most of these transitioning tropical storms have rainfall shift west as baroclinic processes take precedence, usually with an incoming trough.

    Two days worth of battery is a lot. They often take up like half of the collocated equipment shed. But many if not most cell tower sites do have gennys I think.

    That's what Vermonters call humanitarian aid

    hopefully he was able to procure ice for those IPAs

    While we are giving out plaudits and hazard pay, I'd like to thank the utility workers and dpw crews out there busting ass today. And their spouses at home with the kids trying to work remote, on down the line.
