moneypitmike Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm trying to keep some areas sorta clear for our elderly dog and more elderly in-laws... I hope you have more than 1 way to get out of your house in case... well, you never know. I view it as a reason to keep my elderly in-laws away. If we needed to get out in an emergency, we can certainly escape. Just need a little boost. Here's a view out the slider in my family room this afternoon. 14.3/8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 was just outside with the kids, refreshing breeze, felt good to get some winter air deep in the lungs. I thought yesterday you were all set with winter and looking forward to mud and bugs? Just gorgeous out. Would go skiing, but too much to do tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Deep snow up there, fellas. Took a walk around, and a little more snow than I thought. My back driveway still has about a 2-3' drift on it. Protected areas down about 8-9" from max depth last week. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be there Thurs/Fri. They've had 38-40" since 2/2. If you ever wanted to ski there now is the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I thought yesterday you were all set with winter and looking forward to mud and bugs? Just gorgeous out. Would go skiing, but too much to do tonight ? I was sick of two rainstorms in the last week, watching snow melt away. I like it cold in the winter with snow, warm in the spring and hot in the summer, there are reasons for the seasons. 4 days of solid cold, the perhaps another expected thaw, then await Rays epic March, life is good.

Give me winter. Snow and brutal cold, I'm fine. Spring--when the snow's gone, I'll enjoy the spring warmth. Summer--screw it. I hate the heat. I'll take that first August cool shot where suddenly we realize that the 80 days will be ending soon. Fall--awesome time as we wait for the first frost, freeze, and snow.

Very nice, fantastic shot of the cows, really captures the scene. I hate when I get behind people driving not made for snow cars and they spin on the tiniest hills, they should stay home until the plows come out.

I would trade away summer for more winter, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Had lunch at the local greasy spoon and sat with some of the town plow guys. They've been working 'round the clock either plowing or repairing. The roads everywhere are getting hammered. It's going to be a bumper crop of potholes in New England.
