HoarfrostHubb Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Just now, Ginx snewx said: Yet you have no internet in a school district They have internet. Just crappy slow stuff. The state doesn’t install stuff but they can create grants. That’s how Princeton got it after decades. That town is pretty $$$ compared to mine but we have had broadband since we moved here in 1998 (I think). My wife’s school does really well despite having Commodore 64 level internet.

How much of the 4 1/2" snow can I melt over the next couple of days?

The Berkshire hilltowns have it worse than I do in many cases, which is why I ruled them out for moving to. The MA hilltowns have Verizon and they're not upgrading/fixing the copper wire infrastructure and are not taking new DSL customers from what I'm told. If you don't have cell, you're screwed unless you get satellite. At least Consolidated will take new customers (if you can get them to show up, lol) and I have VDSL2 which is faster (~9-9.5 mbps down, 1-1.25 mbps up) than the traditional DSL which is usually 1-3 mbps down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Ice fishermen were out on Barton Cove on the CT River this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Really enjoying the last 2 days. Cold, crisp with about 4" of snow. Despite 30s today, very little melting, tomorrow should do much in shaded areas. Just the feeling of winter with a nice fire in the woodstove, long walks through the woods with the dog, a chance to look at tracks of all kinds of animals, also great visibility with no leaves. I love days like this and the ability to walk everywhere without deep snow or snowshoes. Was looking today over to Highland Mountain in Northfield, NH where Brian lives. How high is that mountain Brian? Noticeable difference in snowfall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How thick do you think the ice is? The smaller ponds around here look solid, I see some open water on some of the larger deep lakes in the area. Upper 30's today, not much melting, just a little softening of the ice pack, tomorrow should do a number on the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was visiting some of the woods I tap in the spring and drove by Bigelow Hollow - I saw several people ice fishing out there and that's just south of you.

A friend of mine fished Cranberry Pond in Sunderland/Leverett and told me 4" of black ice. That's pretty solid. It's also been real cold here this week, today was first day above freezing and it's already back down in the mid-20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid my dad would take us out as long as it was over 3" of black ice. We would also cut test holes every 50' or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
