And now they’re fattening up. Ironic. I also haven’t seen a munk and usually I see lots by now. Have been smelling skunks on and off all winter.

F. It was an absolute ratter. Maybe F+ thanks to the frigid Friday/Friday night resulting in the coldest here in 66 years-like when I was 10.

Well judge hits one out first AB of the year so…

If Cordero gets an AB today I quit.

In that part of the country hundreds of inches per year are expected. Roofs don’t fail often.

It was backloaded. BOS got 44.7 with a big storm in February and a decent March amd even 2.2 in April.

You did have a fig leaf…..

Frosty morning. I had a dream that Steve was doing pbp on an early but low res 0z euro run. Finally when sv came out the low took an unusual path from the lower gulf around the Florida peninsula and up the coast. As the burial was about to begin I awakened as I needed to take my wife for an early appointment. Put that one in your blog for next winter Ray!

I kind of wish my daughter didn’t move back to Boston after she completed uvm. This would have been a fun year to visit. We were there in early December and the ground was still bare and all I came home with was covid.

Gorgeous today. Light jacket on one of my walks now. Coolidge Corner is abuzz.

I told you sne below 1500 elevation muthufukkas that Roy sang. Opening day next week.

I want Dave to pull another near 30. That should mute mehing for a bit…right Dave?

Done. Since I have no idea how long I have I’ll make it next season.

It’s not snowing after I’m dead unless all of you are nice to me.

George, no way BOS averages 49 from 1890-now. I can buy that 1991-2020 but not 130 years.

He threw in 2008-09 as “average” despite Logan being 50% above.

They usually do and their climo is better.

Beautiful early spring day today.

Roy sang. Case closed

For sne under 1500 feet only..

La Niña that year but first year nina.

Yup. My sense is for me we are done. I’m turning my wants to SW breezes and warmth.

I think it’s #4 presuming there’s no more this season. 1936-37: 9.0 2011-12: 9.3 1972-73: 10.3 2022-23: 12.4 1979-80: 12.5
