Like many of us, I love snow, but days like today, sitting on the patio, drinking a beer, taking a swim, and looking at the perennials in bloom all over the yard, are certainly difficult to beat.
Just read latest BOX AFD...they write, best chance for storms is "South and East of Pike"..... I guess East can be correct, there is an East, but never saw that one before.....that should have been caught
Here in Walpole, just south of Norwood (home of Brian Albert) saw flash and crack directly overhead....not much of a storm at all, but that was pretty cool. Onto round 2?
It was a strange sensation...I'm on the second floor of my building and my felt like a truck hitting it and moving it faintly side to side...continued for 10 seconds or so with the rattle and the move.
Snow of varying intensity for about the past hour, so will take the win with that. Came down really well for about 15 minutes, beautiful big flakes, enough to whiten the ground. Now it is just flakes in the air, not much wind.
We have been here since 2003, moved in the day after the Aaron Boone home run (I can only write the because of 2004 and subsequent years) and lost power only once before, the October snow for about half a day. Been out since yesterday morning and they told us up to 3 days; lots of damage around town as we drove around last night, poles cracked half way up, trees and wires down, roads blocked. Definitely an impressive storm.
