I remember sitting at my breakfast table reading the LA Times before work at my then private office.  I noted the prog of a low in the gulf.  I canceled the rest of the week and was on the red eye to Boston that night.  Event was a dud-maybe 2 inches.  But there was snow cover and cold.  This was maybe January 1981?
 
	 
 
	Yeah it definitely uber weenieed me.  I lost 15 winters!  I probably will give them up soon and maybe become a snowbird.  For now, I think a 1-2 week break late in winter works.
