FYI live webcam

If it really blows, I expect that stream to clog. Still, it's cool to have an eye on my mortal enemy.

And now we finally figured out the smoking gun on why you are against those who say global warming is false: its because you want the earth to warm up and detest efforts to prevent that! :smack:

That’s OK, we’re a small state. We can just drive to MA or VT.

Unless we get that twenty feet of snow mentioned upthread.

How the hell do you Pit a goddam mountain … it’s a fucking mountain … the sane just don’t Pit mountains … not in the past 65 millions years.

You’d have to drive to Vermont, Maine is in Canada and you’re not likely to get a work visa.

See, that’s the trouble with you Americans. It’s always got to be one thing or the other, never an in-between. No nuance. Can’t somebody come from the land of \*\*ice \*\*and snow, from the midnight sun where **hot** springs blow ?

Oh, I forgot. Y’all hate immigrants now. And their songs :rolleyes:.

Oh I see… You will use the volcanoes as the hammer of the gods, and they will drive your ships to new lands… 😃

Cocktails at the bar, toking outside around back … we’re waiting for New Hampshire to get covered in three hundred feet of ash.
