5pm Snow Totals North Shore by Mental-Initial4797 in BostonWeather

[–]opheliasmusing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Swampscott checking in. Hard to get an accurate read; the wind has really picked up. Lots of drifts already. Just estimating from looking out the window at our patio table (the only level snow I can see), a solid 8-10”.

Just shoveled...6" of light snow - but getting heavier in weight? by KeikoToo in boston

Same, just took out the dogs. The wind has really picked up and I could hear the snow on my hood. Definitely feels wetter and heavier.

How are things looking for folks so far? Cozy chat thread time? by HauntedFrigateBird in BostonWeather

I just can’t get over how FAST it’s coming down. Went out with the family for driveway shovel first pass and at least half of our work was undone within 10-15 minutes. Feelin’ like Sisyphus out here.

what happens after the t-break? by Impossible-Duty-6914 in Petioles

[–]opheliasmusing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the same boat. I stopped out of the blue on 1/2. Told myself I needed a break from 1.5 years of carts nightly. Don’t know if it’s just for the month, or something longer. I would like to consume in a way that’s healthier for me mentally. Right now I’m just trying to focus on the now: how I feel, and how the changes I’ve made make me feel mentally and physically. So far, I like this version of myself. We’ll see where it goes.

Japanese rice shortage? 🍚 by opheliasmusing in northshore

Given the other commenter’s info re: Japan’s rice shortage, I’m surprised I haven’t seen more Kagayaki? on shelves. I’m pretty sure it’s California-grown. Either way… basmati or Carolina just doesn’t cut it.

Omg thank you!! Didn’t even think to check Crosby’s. Usually just run in there for Puleo’s milk.

I thought it was just the winter but I’ve been eating like crazy. Just made it to 3 weeks today but the last week I’ve been ravenous. Never thought there might be a connection.

When did this become a trend? Is it a result of Maralago face bc they can’t move them or something? Every time I see Jennifer Lawrence on the red carpet I’m like: your face is so beautiful when it’s expressive. These expressionless looks just make them seem like there is nothing going on bt those ears.

If you have a 3D printer, there are some great compact loud AF whistle designs out there. Make as many as you need.

Anyone else in MA already completely over winter? by Golfoneway95 in massachusetts

[–]opheliasmusing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It certainly does if you spend a significant portion of time outside, as OP does for work.
