Haha, that song sends me back every time it's even mentioned. I picked up trash as a summer job at Hampton Beach back in 87-88 and this dude that we just referred to as the drifter would have his boom box up on his shoulder blasting that song like every day we drove down the boulevard.

Isles of Shoals gusted to 72 last hour...not too shabby. My house just let out a "scream" with what sounded like the strongest gust of the event.

Just shy of an inch of rain with ponding in the yard. Winds roaring but still have power. 44F

Didn't think we'd get below 0 but made it to -1F. Torching up to 13F now.

Blizzard of 78 from my childhood in Mass would be number 1. Up here in Portsmouth I might go with the Jan 2015 blizzard...

10/-10

Well, I'll take ride out to the beach Monday AM...should be some nice wind and wave action. 16F and gusty tonight.

Picked up a dusting this evening. 20F

12F...already beat the low from this morning.

So, like the Navy model?

Finished with 7.5" new here. Not bad.

Still coming down moderately. 28F and about 5" out there now.

Be happy with 4" here...easy to clean up and nice to look at. I notice the CMC/RDPS has been showing a trough-like feature hanging back late in the day tomorrow. Maybe a little extra at the end.

Euro will probably look like CMC...they've been almost identical thus far. Pope says it's coming west so no concerns about any OTS solutions.

Holiday period has been frustrating lately. I take a couple weeks off of work each year and each year I think at least there'll be one good event to enjoy while I'm off. Nothing really good since 2017.

Fog yesterday decimated most of the snow here...just some patches left in shadier areas. 40F

Sincere condolences to you and yours

My first real weather memory was the blizzard of '78. As a 7 year old, I remember being outside with my dad at our house in Millis MA and building a wind break in the snow. I distinctly remember how the snow was being blown so hard it hurt your face. We had to walk to the nearest convenience store at one point, somewhere over on route 109, which was probably a couple of miles. I wonder if my parents have any photos still kicking around. Someday I hope to experience another event like that. I think the nearest to that in terms of disruption was the '08 ice storm up here.

Seeing as we still technically have winter until later in March, lot of time for some really good events. If I get 40.5 inches of snow for the remainder of the season, it'll be the best winter of the last 4 in terms of snow but still be below normal in that dept. Average would be a huge win.

How about we get the Euro to comprise with itself and get those two lows into one over the benchmark.

Picked up 2.5" last night. Trees all coated. 32/30

Temp is up to 31.6 here. Wonder if it starts to cool off before getting to 32. A little snow to top it off later tonight would look nice. Merry Christmas all.

GFS seems to agree with RGEM to some extent now...seems colder overall.

Can we get back to colonoscopy talk, please?

A little frosting on the trees but now up to 33/32. Yard pack is dwindling but holding its own. Some festive flakes on Christmas eve/day would be nice but maybe we'll see a couple inches like the NAM.
