Today’s Boston Globe has a good article about the May 1977 snowstorm. here’s the link, but I’m pretty sure it’s probably paywalled: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/09/metro/mothers-day-snow-storm-1977-ma/

Overcast, 44°.

The rash can take a while to develop and there’s no guarantee you’ll have the rash, even if you do have Lyme or some other shitty tick born illness. Yeah, they’re everywhere and I feel like I say that every spring now.

Nice soaking sheet drizzle right now so that’s fine.

Believe me, I would love to live on the coast of Maine, but there’s just not enough warmth.

Week 3? Week 4? We just don’t know.

52° in Greenfield with some gusty wind. I’m still stubbornly rocking the shorts though.

Ya' a little over .20" definitely was a surprise.

Today is a stunner though. Went into work late so I could sit in the sun with my coffee and listen to the birds.

Losing May is like losing December in the winter.

Fantastic morning here, going to get out for a hike this afternoon.

Interestingly, DVDs and CDs are pretty popular on the used market these days.

Probably best to get your hands on some chlordane and kill every living fauna on the hill.

Let’s hope we don’t get into a slow to erode blocking situation.

Currently 38° with light drizzle so that’s fun.
