North shore guys get your ice skates out
 

Looks like this is going to be a nasty storm for Boston and just north, the ice and freezing rain is going to make it tough. My fear is getting into the game Sunday for a quarter and then loosing power, I need to have a back up bar plan in place, although if I DVR it even without power I can go watch it later.......just not the same as live. Travel safe.

On the coast in Plymouth, I expect the usual......nada. We might get a few inches tonight, but the rain they are predicting for us will wash that away.

How can you DVR it if the DVR doesn't have power?

MM that,s what I was wondering ><>

DVR cloud service, records to off-site remote dvrs then viewed from anywhere that has wifi service.

If you program it on comcast, or what ever provider you have, it should be in the system and record it for your account. Won't work if you are depending on a separate DVR.

Ocean effect snow here put down less than an inch a bit ago. Hoping to get all cleared between 9 and noon before temps start to plummet.

Weather people are so lame

Strapped on my ice skates yesterday for first time in 15 years...was a little weird at first.
Then it all came back to me.
Had a blast and the 30 year olds with me couldn't believe that at 63 i could out skate them with ease.

Nice

I tried last winter & reality stepped in . one of my legs wouldn,t raise higher enough & the blade kept skimming the ice to fu ck that up …...another age factor :wid:

Almost forgot how good it feels to glide along with hardly any effort.

Played on a mens league into my late forties.. the 20 year olds hated meeting up with me at the blue line.:tooth:
After they realized they couldnt get past me they usually resorted to taking slap shots at me.

They probably didn’t have a hammer in their hand all day either...:musc:

Clammer, you got some big ones to even try....;)

I don't even want to think about skates right now

Got out on the Garden ice recently. No sticks or pucks though...

Ice is building up pretty fast. Everything coated in ice, even vehicles we cleared and were out driving in earlier. Temperature has fallen 10 degrees in past hour into the teens. Not sure it will have made any whether we shoveled and used snowblower when it is all said and done....

I am 1000 miles away and they guy who takes care of our house says the pipes froze in one zone of the heating system. Got guys working on it but I feel helpless. May have to go home.

So sorry to hear this.
Since I live in Newport I am one of the 7,000 without natural gas for heat thanks the national grid ... we drained all the water lines and heating lines this morning. Might not have heat for a week.

We're back to normal. Logistics are difficult when you are 1000 miles away but everything is fixed and back to normal. had a zone valve fail and resulted in no heat in one section of the house.

Nest thermostat will send you a notification if your heat is too high or low as long as you set it up
Works good in multizone big houses without a dedicated alarm system or if you have no alarm system

Pete, we tried to install Nest but it will not work with my NetGear router,

I don't trust these systems after seeing a sub contractor get into a client's Nest system to communicate with his employee working in another part of the house. Told me it was like picking up a neighbors baby monitor. Easily hacked..... He worked on them, but would not have one in his house. Just one man's opinion.

I am surprised the systems has been down this long there. Lousy planning.

Ross - bet those NESTs never had the passwords changed.
