When there is a lot of acorns on the ground from the oak trees we get a lot of snow.

While all this is going on in the Northeast, I’m in Norway due to my dad passing away. Winter here has been way milder than CT.
In my house in CT the furnace has stopped running 3 times while I’ve been here since late November, and my friends have gotten it going again each time. Last time they had a professional come in and take a look and replace a few things. I’m crossing fingers, toes and anything possible in hopes of it not quitting on me.
I can’t say I’m jealous of the weather in the NE right now, but I guess I’ll get my share of it this coming Monday, when I return.
Also, I’m very fortunate to have such good friends who go above and beyond to help me out while I’m here. Without them my house would have been a solid block of ice by now.

Thanks guys. He died in a good way, if that’s a thing. He had lots of medical issues, all heart related. He literally died with his shoes on, and just fell asleep peacefully downstairs at home.
I hope, when it’s my turn, that I’m as lucky as him. The whole being kept artificially alive ain’t my thing.

Yeah we have a solid 8-10 so far. Windy as well. Classic nor’easter
Same here in North Branford though it's really hard to tell with the wind blowing everything around. Sounds like a 747 at full throttle parked in my driveway.

Very hard to tell with all the drifting
Mark you are only like 35-40 min from me!

Maybe a bit more. I've been trying to get to your GTG and always seem to have conflicts. Hopefully your next one...

Awesome!
Considering my last GTG was in '13 at Bob's (Spike60), I think I'm due.

Winter is supposed to be cold. That's what winter is. Don't be a pussy is my advise.
