That Vday cold shot in 2016 was a week out modeled as a nice snow event followed by cold. Friday night and Saturday we had snow showers and my daughter and I went to Logan to leave for Nicaragua as I was part of a medical delegation. It was maybe 20 as we left mid day. Finally arriving in Nicaragua I was refreshing my phone a zillion times because I knew the cold was special. I checked with my wife who stayed home and all was well although the dog spent a minimal amount of time outside-just for the purpose of “doing her business “. I was thrilled to have those temperatures and not have to endure them-it was in the mid 70s at 2AM where I was. I returned home a week later to showery wx and 55 degrees. A few days later we had just about the best severe I’ve seen since living here-occurring around 3AM and waking up the whole house. Strangely enough the dog took it in stride. We really miss her!
