great song....Thorogood was fantastic.

Why the LOL? It's a weather board, they tracked a meteorological bomb for six days or so, even though they knew the odds of it hitting were low for the last 4 days. They enjoyed it, it is the purpose of the board. You don't like tracking for that long, so you didn't. You each put in what you wanted to. There is no LOL for tracking a storm on a weather board...what is the purpose of the board, if not that?

His line to you last week was a classic "you must be fun at a party." Amazing.

Flakes just started.

There was no way to accurately measure the blizzard of 78, I have to believe we were over. The 27.1 at Logan and 28.6 at TF Green are low, though there is no way to officially know. I was living in Cranston and we were over 28.6, no way to measure with the size of the drifts.

Snowing nicely here again, looks amazing. Looking forward to snow blowing

I never really comment, but this is incredible.

Tim Wakefield (RIP) knuckler that doesn't knuckle

Beautiful snow falling here. Ground covered quickly, I am about 5 miles from Gilette

Grew up in Cranston and December 81 was a massive bust on the positive side, I remember it well. I think the meat of it was Saturday, just kept snowing beyond what was forecast.

I know it is not everybody's cup of tea and not meaning to start the debate yet again, but this, to me, has been a solid winter. I am 58 so have experienced pretty much all our spectrums, from the snowless 80's to the utter beauty of the Blizzard of 78. But the frequent light snow in the air (another dusting this AM with snow still falling) and cold temperatures since the start of December and through the holidays makes it feel like winter, even if I would like a better, snowier look to it. To me, worse than a winter with no snow is a winter with mediocre cold. My body, and the landscape, needs to feel the bitter cold winds every now and then.

We are going to pick up a couple of inches with this

Was telling my wife there is no wind (I don't think she cares!) but as intensity goes up more, wind starting to blow. Pretty awesome out right now.

Big flakes, visibility dropping

Intensity picking up now, looks beautiful out.

First squall flakes here....let 'er rip!

That is what I do every year. Final cut is 2 inches where I can get away with it, 2.5 elsewhere

You must have a.beautiful location....Fond memories on that pond....we had a house on Great Island for many years, great pond for boating with access to go anywhere.....Great Island has changed so much since we sold.....too much NY and CT money moved in, changed the character.....sorry for off topic.

Ground nests are the worst, often don't know it until too late. They have gotten me before.

A flash of lightening and a rumble of thunder here in Walpole.

Neighbor down the road is measuring .93, perfect. Hopefully a bit more tomorrow and should be good for fall lawn, as long as we don't go full on stein.

this second line has fantastic rain rates without the wind, and some pretty good thunder....impressed....my plants and lawn needed this

round 2 incoming, good rain rates again.

Here comes the wind, was waiting, it was dead calm.

It is all I want, rain.....Sorry Kev, could do without damage...
