I am not....just looked it up and found it on Amazon though and it does seem like a good template. Basically an account of a whole bunch of weather events with a lot of accounts from people who experienced them.

 

Yeah I wouldn't do it to make money. If it makes money, that's a bonus. But I'd do it because I love writing about weather events and I'd want to document a lot of these events before they get forgotten. A lot of past weather events really don't have good historical accounts unless they were absolute top-end events like Feb '78 or Hurricane of '38, Worcester tornado '53, etc. But so many of these semi-large events sort of get relegated to "no memory or historical account" status so it would be nice to have one place to read about them.

If you do self-publish something, make sure at least one copy is printed on scrolls so Ginxy will read it.

I sometimes go shorts and then wear crew socks for extra coverage, because I get bad poison ivy as well. if I'm really scared of it I'll just wear sweats if it's early enough. Then it's straight to the shower with Tecnu Extreme 

I have picked up poison ivy on the legs multiple times, but still refuse to wear long pants.

back to back freezes here, 30.5/29.6 the past 2 nights

a worthy followup to K&U... your detailed meteorologic memory has tremendous value, why not get some $ for it...  you'd have enthusiastic demand just from this board alone

(no pressure ... I know the return on writing books does not match the effort)

same here. when I'm lazy and it's hot, I'll wack with shorts and long socks, but inevitably, some rocks will still sting me in the shins.

Planned on writing a book about top mesoscale CJs when I retire, Ray writing the foreword.

No one wears shorts north of the mass Pike and west of 128, unless at the pool, beach, playing sports, or summer party. That's it.  You're not gonna go clean gutters wearing shorts and white new balances, get real, you'll look like a honky.

Every single week in growing season I do it.  Takes about 30 minutes. Not sure I’ve ever worn long pants doing it in my 49 years

I do all that in shorts. I'm mortified by some of these posts.

Cut by swinging the trimer from right to left for the heavy brush.  Cutting by swinging your arms left to right spins sh.it back into your legs.

I only got to play the course once, as we had moved to Brooklyn shortly before it closed.  But I use the range across the street all the time.  I've chatted with the all 3 parties involved in the course/property/restaurant relationship over the years, and it's interesting to hear the different sides to the story.  It would be good to see it stay as a field or go back to farmland at some point.

There's a closed golf course near me, it's a great place to take a walk with my dog.

Well 2 epic storms but I'd take other winters over that winter. 

I hear ya, but Sometimes it only takes one epic storm to make a winter memorable…that winter had two, and other smaller events thrown in.  
 

That winter also set a record for snowfall at BDL, which stood til ‘94, and then just two years later ‘96 beat ‘94.  
 

77-78 was a great winter for us here in CT/SNE.

I'd take 2015 over 78 if it happened earlier in the winter otherwise I'd take a biggie like 78. The bad thing about the 78 blizzard is we got shutout after that one, the whole pattern changed after that storm, probably because of the storm.

I don't care what people think I look like.  All about comfort, baby.

Is this what happens when grass doesn't grow?  Whack rocks instead?

Then we would have to listen to 9 days complaints about whether or not the high would slip offshore to early, or block the northward push of moisture into nrn New Eng, as well as where the coastal front will setup; screw zones... etc... My head hurts just thinking about it!!! Lol
