Not much information has been shared but neighbors reported seeing someone fleeing the scene, scale up a wall, and run towards the GSP…which to me seems like there was a getaway car there. I have not read about the other council member murder yet… The perp was a co-worker with the council member, and later took his own life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't know the person who makes them but everyone who has received one as a gift loved it. Someone originally gave me one and thats how I found about them. The ones of Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire are really good. Read up on the website about them. The vintage ones of New England are cool as they are based on early 19th century USGS surveys. You really have to get the bigger 24 x 36 to get the full effect. It's only $65 shipped. They also have some local ones like this one of Lake Winnipesaukee from 1906. https://eastofnowhere.co/products/lake-winnipesaukee-nh-vintage-relief-map-1909 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whineminster Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 @HoarfrostHubb @subdude Dunn Pond today, even after all that heat. One thing I enjoy moving out here from metrowest.... consistent ice even in the worst winter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I enjoy moving out here from metrowest.... consistent ice even in the worst winter. Back in the 196s, the small NNJ lake where I usually went ice fishing always had safe ice for the Jan 1 thru mid-Feb ice fishing season, except for 1965 when post-Christmas 60s took out what had been 4-5". Refroze a week later. This year the red ball flag, sign of safe ice as determined by knowledgeable lake association members who tested thoroughly, has not been hoisted at all. I don't think it's the first such winter that happened. I'm planning to visit Flying Pond (on the Vienna/Mt Vernon line) on Monday, and expect to find ice thickness of 12-15". Most winters it would be 20"+ by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we did and I don't remember but I remember some years the ice was on 10-12 and some years over 2 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to go to Tokaloka Pond off of the Hackensack River in a part that was not yet badly polluted back in the late 50s. 'We'd play hockey all day on the pond. During those years there was always good late March snow often with open water so we'd play in the snow in the woods all day. Kids today don't seem to do that anymore-and they don't realize what they're missing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 If anyone is looking for something good to watch, try “The Rescue”(2021) on Disney+. It is a documentary about the rescue of those soccer kids who were trapped in a cave in Thailand in 2018. Amazing bravery. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be expensive though. Lots of nightlife, though Rue Ste. Catherine is much tamer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Ice at Flying Pond is 17" thick, a couple inches more than I'd guessed and 3-4" longer than either of the skinny pickerel I caught today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent size lake to have that much ice, how about the larger ponds in your area, Are they pretty thick with ice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exchange rate is in your favor so that helps And yeah, it's pretty awesome. Having spent a little time there working with McGill years ago (07/08 winter, luckily enough) a few things I'd recommend would be a walk and maybe dinner in the old city (le vieux Montreal), montreal syle bagels (st viateur is a good one), and a trip to Notre Dame basilica.
