Yeah I remember the excitement for 3/21. The forecasts were so promising! Light rain fell and I was ridiculed for calling a potential blizzard based on the forecasts. The first snowmobiles I saw were displayed on campus in Ithaca around 1967. Skidoo was displaying them.

No! The class didn’t meet again for 2 more days and I aced it. Those were years when winter was winter!

I remember that one. I was a junior in HS and we got a rare snow day. Back then snow had to be pretty big to close schools. Thing is it I had an exam and was unprepared so the snow day was a gift.

The idea of napes on 1/12…a day with the same sun angle as 12/1. Few talk of napes then and in fact lament that snow would stay on the ground. Sales tactics
-
Incidentally I find this a superb photo not only for the snow but the composition with the line of trees in the foreground snd the house lit up.

Yeah night walking requires some lighting. Can’t do it in the woods. You’d have to repeat the path multiple times which gets boring. Whenever I’m in a small town or rural environment walking/hiking has to be a daytime activity.

Yeah I was proud of myself. Lots of hills and then as soon as I returned home I shoveled. Being on the corner of a cul de sac there’s a lot of sidewalk but it was easy to do. Still added another hour though between the back patio paths to the trash and grill and side walkway over to the driveway followed by the long sidewalk and then path to the front door. Easy without the 8 miles first but now I’m kind of wiped…lol. Not bad for and old man though!

2” measured about 2 hours ago. Took an 8 mile urban hike tonight in a beautiful wintry landscape. Hopefully it snows again in the next few weeks.

Snow is heavier now as the band moves in. Heading out to walk for an hour or two. I’ll measure also.

Whiskey? Moonshine?

Looks like a nice parting shot inbound from the west within a few minutes.

A lovely quiet snowy day. I plan for a long walk after my core exercises and shower. These days you have to savor snow-makes me feel like a southerner with this year’s frequency.

Beam scotoma.

I drove past my local reservoir today and it looked like good skating ice with an open area in the middle likely from ducks needing that.
-
I don’t think they’re going ice skating on the Connecticut River….

Is the 3k rifling through uncle’s garbage finding a few nips that were unopened?
-
The implication that the pacific doesn’t matter is a big flag to me hence my inquiry.
-
Are there any peer reviewed journal articles supporting this premise?
-
Yeah in California it doesn’t matter-just because it was 70 and sunny in my yard didn’t deter me from driving a few hours to deeper snow than you’d ever see in the east. But for New England, lack of snow in one’s yard is a deterrent.

Flakes be falling
-
Indoor treadmill workout tonight. Took a break from the cold and wind. Actually it’s a better workout but you have to have a distraction-tv.
-
You have to include your neighbors. Can you imagine getting snow in your yard and every house around you is bare?
-
It’s probably -3 though. Normally cold as Don Kent used to say.
-
A city of 4 million? Boston city is about 700,000. May be 4m in the entire metro but even that is dwarfed by many.

BOS went from flirting with futility in mid January to settling the all time seasonal record by mid March.
