Hailstoned

Peepers in full throat tonight, a good 2-3 weeks early.

1) Blizzard of 78 2) Monson, etc. tornado, 2011 3) Hurricane Carol 4) February 9, 1969-- the so called "Lindsey Storm" Boston style with 2 feet of wet snow/thunder snow on 50 mph gust gales 5) January 8, 1968; Living atop a high hill in S.W. N.H.: A high temperature of -8 with 60 MPH wind gusts. Plumes of snow flying from exposed places on Mount Monadnock, 8 miles to the south. Walked out into a field just to feel what -70 wind chill feels like. Not recommended. 6) December 12, 1960 blizzard, early start to a story book winter; the storm that sparked a life long wiener roast.

Got the suck-model, come-on blues. NAM, HRR, all the rest, dressed up like tarts in Canal Street display windows-- all for 2 inches of cheap thrills.... Suckered. Never again...
