I just ran into this on Youtube

I stayed up pretty much all weekend turning faucets on and off, babysitting space heaters in the basement and starting my vehicles. No burst or frozen pipes but both vehicle batteries died anyway. It was worth staying awake as many of my coworkers had burst pipes and flooding. One even had the water in her toilet freeze and the toilet cracked along with the wax ring splitting in half.

Possibly 60 degrees on Friday.

As a New England peep in Maine you were very wise to turn faucets on and off, flush toilets, run showers, keep sink cabinet doors open. Never let them just drip. Glad all was ok!! Did the same, "Uptah Maine dearie." PM if you'd ever enjoy a chat. Or a home improvement Q. I built my own house up here. Thanks, be well and stay warm...

I have an autographed copy of Paul Benzaquin’s book on the Cocoanut Grove fire somewhere in my collection.

Watching Channel 10's (RI-WJAR) remembrance of this now. So heartbreaking to see these stories. And despite some jail sentences, and civil suits, was there anyone really held responsible? I don't think so.

A few CBS News segments on the fire. There is overlap between a couple of them.

What snow?
I guess I now know where the rain/snow line is

 

[Replicant2018]

Where did this snow come from?

One of those weeks. Watch out tomorrow

 

[Anchor10]

One of those weeks. Watch out tomorrow

Flying home from FL, when it suppose to snow

 

[wordsNguitars]

good lord, the mention of that nightclub brings back the memories and reminds me that I'm... now very experienced (not saying old enough to remember)... *lol*

Are sports no longer a welcome topic on this thread?

 

[Booboobear84]

I think we calmed down a little to be more welcoming to the non-sports types. With the playoffs coming up soon (and Opening Day) you know it will be back.

NOt even a word about Tatum's All Star performance?

 

[Booboobear84]

I didn't watch, but the game such terrible reviews.

Tonight's OT win was pretty cool. .716 winning rate

I started to get the feeling they were not all that welcome so I moved on.

The All Star game is a joke.

Well,
its not basketball without defense
but it was still a great showcase for Tatum's talents.

Well, that was a let down. They said 10-15 inches and we barely got 2…

Resisting the urge to make raunchy comment about own inches.
