East MF Coast 19/20.

[Brownski]

saw a story go by of some roxbury locals getting turns today at platty. shit is going fast down there.
.

I saw that too. I was just thinking if I still had my astro van, I'd have the range to get up there and back without any stops but alas, the Colorado has ridiculously short legs. It'd probably still be irresponsible somehow anyway

i haven’t been anywhere for weeks already and didn’t think one last day would have beyond the pale of selfishness. but let’s just say id like to avoid any imperial entanglements.

Classic!

So, now it's clear that half the season never happened, won't that turn the season into an asterisk, making it 2019*-2021?

[ex-powderbroker]

i don’t need an asterisk, i guess turning the page would be better. thought i MIGHT be able to sneak in a last xc day but the town trails are looking bleak and this will be the final nail in the coffin:

ECRC mags:

I just talked for awhile with an old friend that grew up in Natick. Behind his house was a pond that he used to skate on. Has it been possible in any of the last few years to skate on natural ice near boston? for any substantial length of time? when was the last year?


... still waiting on goat pics and still have half a box of wine to drink, where they aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh-t?

[Self Jupiter]

Possible to skate on natural ice in any of the past few years? Yes. For a substantial length of time? In the past decade, barely. Predictable skating conditions ended over 20 years ago iirc

[jhyatt]

Here on the Cape we do skate on bogs regularly, but not this past year much if at all. The skating here tends to be good because we get the cold of the high pressure systems, but the lows and moisture usually fall as rain so we don't get snow on the ice and it is a natural zamboni and not crappy freeze thaw snow on top. The bogs are shallow so if you break through it's waist deep.
The Economist had an article about how this past winter was, once again, the warmest on record for the Northern Hemisphere and a graph showing climatology for Boston with the 3-4 months of winter dipping below 0C but this year it went to 0 in November and stayed flat at 0 until March. Totally truncated. New England was quite warm this year, climatologically speaking.

They flood an area of Cunningham Park in Milton on a pretty regular basis.

How many until the 2nd wave of Rona?

[Bottleman]

Whelp, no 100 days for the Bottles this year. We end the year stuck on day number 69. Billy L. would be proud. GO, GO, GO!!!!

I’ve been mourning the loss of the season by editing/re-editing photos. Here are a few that I’ve been working on. The stoke is already building for next season.

[Thaleia]

also, the fuzz is now stopping random cars in quebec to make sure they have legitimate business

BS. Got a source for that?

[ex-powderbroker]

you must be new here

[Thaleia]

I'm aware of the travel ban including their warning of random stops but hear they haven't actually began stopping and questioning drivers yet. (as of yesterday evening)

[ex-powderbroker]

i only know what the news tells me, like i said i haven’t been anywhere in weeks.

[Moeghoul]

Got 2 hikes in at Smuggs this week after it snowed. Tuesday on Sterling after about 3-4" Monday nite, and Madonna yesterday after another 3-4" up top. Got another 3-4" overnite, but Smuggs sent out the above email yesterday ending uphill.

[Doremite]

Nice work, M. Longing for some turns these days. Hope to see ya next season.

President's day?

I know we already talked about this several pages back, but I was up there that day, too. It was fun watching you ski, and dodging your slough on the boot ladder!
