That was a cheap 9:01 PM high - afternoon high was 18, but it's always odd when NY is colder than here. For the years 2020 and 2022, Dec 23-25 has totaled 5.80" precip but only the 1.2" frozen ahead of 3"+ RA on 12/23/22. Can we score another mega-Grinch? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toward the end of Dec 22 was pretty cold down here. The local mountain (Wachusett) pumped out an amazing amount of manmade stuff which really allowed them to weather the lack of snow for Jan and Feb.

Supernovice Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 There are certainly some major MAJOR US military installations under threat from this thing. I keep thinking of one in particular constructed on a dry lake bed in Nevada that may not be dry after this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll use the technology developed from the captured space aliens they have to divert the water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a fire pit kit from Lowes. I love it. It’s made from pavers and easy to put together. I also have a generic solostove. I forget the brand, I’ll double check tomorrow.

Torch Tiger Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Any 60's pop/rock music fiends out there, especially vinyl? I'm a thrifter/seller, it's a great hustle, and of course love music. I also buy, repair musical instruments and etc. Anyway, picked up a vinyl record lot at auction for $235 shipped. The pictures weren't too good. Here's ~30 of the 60. Mostly early mono versions with original plastic on them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 A guy I who I went to high school with collects old reel to reel recordings. I didn’t even know there was a market for those. Vinyl is cool due to album art, liner notes, etc. our daughter buys vinyl but mostly new stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
