What did you get in March 2018? Did you miss out on the biggie that dropped 24-30” for the EOR crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sey-Mour Snow Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I think the safest zone for consistent jacks and to always get in on the fun is probably Kevin to orh hills. Far enough in every direction to cash in on most storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live a couple of miles from the storage tanks in Braintree. Barge comes in under the Fore River bridge and there is a water way into the Braintree/N Weymouth area, and they get stored there, so I'm sure proximity helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's this pocket of lower gas prices I frequently see on the upper south shore there that sometimes extends inland a little SW toward Taunton.

Gasoline? There is a pocket heading down rt 18 that is really cheap compared to anything I've seen. I saw 2.99/G at a Gulf near my parents in Pembroke on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His problem is he’s trying to “compete” with the coastal and SE Mass areas in off-shore track blizzards, while also compete with the high terrain to his west in inland snowstorms. It has to be just right to fit into the envelop and “win” over one of those two types of storms that likely favor west or SE. Sounds like it’s always in between those two to get to average.

You live in kind of a dead zone like PF says. I would gather your return on 18 plus storms is much less than all points of the compass from you.

Since being on these boards, about 10 years now, following all the winter threads, it seems like that area is kind of a transition area. floor is higher, but ceiling is lower. He’s not going to get parked like se Mass on an inland track, but he won’t cash like se Mass on an outside BM storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
