Well OP's picture is not from the top of Mt Wachusett but from one of the slopes. That being said, Mt Wachusett isn't much of a mountain compared to your area.

route 2 and 202 are the same road for a few miles west of Gardner.

SO by the time these decreases actually trickle down to the average consumer, the heating season will be over.

Reply to comment by stexel in Bundle up for Friday night… the coldest temperatures (even if pictured is wind chill) we’ve seen all season! by redheelermama
If you have a furnace with forced hot water, I've heard recommendations that you manage things so that the furnace is pumping at least a little heat so the water keeps circulating.

I've lived in New England all of my life. I love seeing old pictures from the area and am always amazed how much land was clear cut 100 years ago.

No, I've been here 25 years.
I have seen some people commenting on Facebook about a mysterious plower around town. Just a good soul.

I cleaned the driveway this morning at about 8. there was about 3 inches of slush. Went out to do some errands and by the time I got back the precipitation had pretty much stopped (noon). It started snowing like a bastard at about 3 and kept going until about 5 which left another 3 inches but I had decided to wait until the morning to deal with it.
UNTIL I SAW THIS THREAD !!! Then I started panicking that it was going to freeze over night and my driveway wouldn't be clean again until April.
So I went out and started the snow blower. I would have been fine waiting. The 3 - 4 inches that was out there was just fluff here in North Central Mass.
Oh well, it only took me about 45 minutes and now I can stay in tomorrow morning and enjoy my coffee.
ADDED SURPRISE BONUS: Some mystery snowplower cleaned out the end of my driveway where the town trucks left their mess after I cleaned up this morning. Holy shit that was a nice thing to do.
