In your part of CT maybe. Over here out east it's been raining on and off all day.


In the words of Lewis Black, talking about how gray February's are in the north... I think we've reached the point were you want to slit you wrists, so you can see some color.

You should be thankful this is not the year 1816 - the year without a summer

"In May 1816,[4] however, frost killed off most of the crops that had been planted, and in June two large snowstorms in eastern Canada and New England resulted in many human deaths. Nearly a foot (30 cm) of snow was observed in Quebec City in early June, with consequent additional loss of crops—most summer growing plants have cell walls which rupture in a mild frost, let alone a snowstorm coating the soils. The result was regional malnutrition, starvation, epidemic, and increased mortality—in short, famine."

"In July and August, lake and river ice were observed as far south as Pennsylvania. "

Sure, but there is some business to attend to first. Will you talk to my wife? :eek:

Sounds Ominous , maybe the Queen can handle that task :D

My daughter and SIL in Littleton are crabbing about the rotten weather over there too , apparently it's pretty pervasive along most of the coast as my son and his family in Manhatten is also antsy too

There all hwading up her mid month for 10 days we kiddingly tell them to LEAVE their weather home and don't ruin it up here when they all arrive LMAO

That would probably be pretty cool if that happened. I bet there were probably some good turns to be earned at some of the higher elevations.

Not much lift-served service at that time, and.... I suspect most of the mts were still heavily forested, making those shots pretty tight. You'd be probably have to use boards fashioned from your own hand saw, and be expected to bring game home for dinner. Kinda a full day....:p
