  1. It's not the best book, but it gives some cool anectodal stuff. Very little met info. Some people we know are quoted
  2. Awesome video Ryan. better than milking cows
  3. Tip could write the prologue... ... of course that might be longer than the book itself
  4. At least in the metro-Boston area I disagree. AWD doesn't help if the roads are full of stuck semis, etc. But the weekend thing, maybe. Also, today the forecast might have kept more people at home Plows are not much different than they were back then.
  5. Yeah, I was living in Lowell and it was certainly a fun storm.But to get 35"+ like they probably did here would be top 5 for sureI think Lowell had 18" or so
  6. These could be the longest lasting snowpiles I have seen in a while. 1978 had piles into June near me (snow farm at the Foxboro Company parking lot), so that was 5 months or so.The October snow could make it that long...hard to say. A wet torch could kill that
  7. Hard to say. There were still small piles of it in the local Walmart in Gardner in January. Those piles are now under piles formed during Jan 12, etc. No way to prove it though
  8. October was really cool for me, but just a big powder bomb. Top 10 event due to lots of snow and top 5 for me due to weirdness. But very little impact here. Roads were drivable the next day, no power loss. My top storms were 1978 by a lot 2008 Ice storm April 1997 2005 Oct 2011
  9. Ahhh... The date on the pic is wrong... it was Jan 13, 2011 Stupid battery died and I forgot to rest the date
  10. I suppose the most disturbing incident came the other night. I walked into the bathroom, and he was sitting on the toilet, clutching a winter storms book, rocking back and forth, and speaking quietly but quickly in what almost seemed another language. After hearing a few repetitions I determined that he was saying, “If Will throws in the towel, it’s over.” This made me guffaw.... my wife gave me strange looks
  11. Those were Ray's farts Jeez, a met in NJ must be p.o.'d
  12. Sandals and shorts in Feb Snowblowers are ornery
  13. Nicely done Steve I wonder if Will ever did something on it
  14. This is Dec 1992 in Worcester (from someone's Flickr accnt)
  15. What images, radar captures, etc exists for Dec 1992? I have seen the WCVB report on Youtube
  16. Boxing Day was meh for me, but it was fun to revisit those threads
  17. Not even sure of the date of that... we have these servers... make 'em work!
  18. Powder squeeks when it is cold enough. Love that sound
  19. An old snow weenie I worked with used to tell me about that storm. Sadly he died last December
  20. Ahhhhh Feb 1969 series of good events that never stopped
