weathafella Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 While many are gong to the Funky Murphy GTG on 12/2, let's renew the Boston GTG at Clarke's Boston at Faneuil Hall. I'm proposing Tuesday, 12/20/2023 (5 days before Christmas) for a festive night of weenie city. Clarke's is the last place many of us saw James when he came with his friend. I'm glad we got a chance to meet him in person before his sad departure. Post your interest ITT. Will and Garth have expressed interest and many others have come in the past. Let's do this and bring back snowy winters! Tuesday 12/19 (apparently Clarke's is no longer open Mondays per web hours listed).' https://www.clarkesboston.com/index.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 It's annoying when it's -5 and bare ground that's for sure. But I don't mind the cold typically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's different lol. I embrace the summer wx. I don't mind it. I still hate a "torch" in winter. Makes me want to put turf on my yard with the effing mud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here but I'm going to try and arrange my schedule to make it. Usually when we go to the city we take the T because we both hate driving in the city, maybe I'll do that.

Cold Miser Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Somehow the times I've gone to Clarkes I've been lucky with the on street parking. ...Which is a miracle especially this time of year, and that area of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get to that area in the 5-6pm range right after work, you can find quite a few spots. Kind of that narrow sweet spot or window where people who were there during the day are leaving, but before the evening crowd arrives. But usually by 6:30-7 the spots are gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually able to find parking there before...not sure how I'll play it yet. I work right next door in Chelsea, so I may just drive in.

weathafella Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 The big question is whether or not there's a game at the Garden that night. There is a Bruins game on the 19th. I've found spots on Canal Street but more likely in places like New Chardon Street which is about a 5-10 minute walk to Clarke's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruins are off that day and Celtics are out playing in Sacramento that night so we’d be in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Great pics. Was that the 2017 gathering? I remember me, Scott and Jerry looking at the NAM that night and thinking “hmmm, the 12/23 system doesn’t exactly look like a cutter…that looks really icy”….turned out to be legit icing right into BOS during that.

STILL N OF PIKE Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I’d like to make it as Boston is a cool spot and not hard for me to get to from Bedford . I work before 6am Wednesday so I’d probably be there 6-9pm or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great memories Steve! I think we had another one at Funky’s a month later and I was worried about the futility record. Will predicted a total for Logan of 53 inches. End result was more than double that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and you and I had a friendly wager about futility. I don't know if I could handle another 2015 physically. Was an exhausting period lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
