March of 1956 is one of the great snow periods of my life and the 3/19 storm was pretty amazing. But ponder this: BOS got 65 inches in February 2015. How crazy is that!

Is the euro control now the op? When does that go into effect if not?

He’s a shill but methinks he’s pulling in some nice coin…

He goes overboard on several issues but the take home is strength training is essential for a better chance at healthspan. Today was a strength training day followed by my usual core and augmented strength circuit plus a call I have Monday’s was moved to today online of the holiday so I had to accommodate that and needed to get up before 9-usually blasphemy! Healthspan is what we’re trying to achieve hence my hard 3 hour walk in the cold last night. Above OT. Sunny and bright but cold today.

It’s been a cold weekend and for now not much warming until at least after this week. In other news our journey to FL departure is now delayed until 3/3. Hopefully it snows because 2 more weeks of this awful winter would be bad if it’s chilly.

But March is a 31 day month. On 3/1 70 is much more highly anomalous vs 3/31. As a kid growing up mid 20th century, the things I grew to expect in March was a big snow event and the first run at 70.

70s in March was common 70 years ago per my memory. I used to realize that March would often give you the first 70 and April 80. Didn’t happen every year but it was common enough.

I’ll root for la nada. Or whatever it is being weak…and the west to warm up. Regardless of enso state if we have a cold wet west our chances go down for a snowy winter.

While I’m glad to see many of you enjoy a deep winter week, it has blown here. Got a total of about 1.25 inches and cold. Fairly useless as our biggest event was 0.75. And today’s squalls missed my house. Just turn it up 50 degrees and I’ll be happy. This is by far worse than any ratter in memory.

Looks like mby is in the 7-10 split and will miss out on the meat of the squall line.

Interesting fact: The last time BOS and metro west was eclipsed by areas south of us down to Philly and parts of BWI/IAD area was the last time we had a strong Nino-until this season so far. I’ll be very surprised if my area gets a single event >6” from now on this season. Looks like I’ll leave my snowblower with plenty of stabilized gas in the tank. I’ll continue the practice of starting it once a month over the summer and fall.

I was a freshman that year-just turned 19 just before the mayhem. I just assumed that was winter in the area. Snow in the air the first week of October, solid event around 11/5. Way below zero many nights. Epic period!

Well I witnessed 40+ in the sierras so no but it fell on top of a deep pack which was fortified by 2-3” seemingly daily for weeks before the event. When winters were great….

It might be the famous blizzard of 66. I experienced it in upstate NY. Oswego with 100”. My campus got “only” 38.

Maxon?

Whiteout for 5-10 minutes dropping about 0.75". Sun should melt off the cars by the time I get up.

ACK: 100

Sorry about you and your wife separating, Brett. Hang in there.

True-we'll see in about a week.

Yup. Warmth, spring baseball, returning late month. I’ve had it with this above normal temperature winter that doesn’t feel warm and every which way to not snow.

I'll buy something when I see the flakes. I'm defeated and looking forward to warmth.

Nice!
