Great Snow 1717

Grade for the winter 0.00

The Flint tornado along with other tornadoes led to a debate in Congress regarding the possible link between the atomic bomb testing and tornadoes. The theory was quickly dismissed. I wonder if the present day warning system had been in place if it would have led to people going to fallout shelters back in 1953. Growing up in the 60's and 70's I was well aware of where the fallout shelters were located.

I think the death total would be higher because of the increase in population. Where would people go if warned?

Stalls in the gulf until September, then makes a beeline for the coast, then a Cat 6 redux of 38.......

Depends on how much money you want to spend for a nice looking lawn. Personally I'd rather invest the money in something that I need or want to do. My lawn is decent. A neighbor down the street has a great looking lawn but his water bill is huge. Plus he uses a lot of different chemicals on his lawn which is another major expense. The fascination with lawns is an obsession with some people. A former neighbor would spend hours working on his lawn. His lawn looked better than augusta! He moved out about 15 years ago. A couple of years later he came back to visit. He was appalled at the condition of the lawn at his former home.

Depending on if he heats his home with natural gas he may be eligible for the mass save program. https://www.reviseenergy.com/towns-we-serve

Have you checked with MuniHELPS? Do you heat with natural gas?

Correct you are.

Well you were excited about ruining winter..........

I live in northeast MA. Has the "south shore drought" been occurring more frequently during the time of climate change?

I think that is becoming more frequent.

Thanks for letting me know.

Sure is

What is the latest date for the melt?

What are the averages for Whitefield and Lancaster?

Nearly every forecast for the winter was a complete failure.

They look like the protestors in Michigan...…...

I wouldn't clear trails on property that doesn't belong to me....but that's just me.

Personally I wouldn't clear the trails. I think that is up to the agency that is responsible for taking care of the land. There may be reasons why those trails are not being maintained.

The creators of The Wire wanted to do a spin off series titled The Hall that would have followed Mayor Carcetti's political career. HBO passed on the proposal by David Simon. And for a time there was discussion of a movie that would have been a prequel to the TV series. David Simon's book Homicide is a terrific read. The book formed the basis for The Wire.

The Wire, Brotherhood, Billions, and Gomorrah are better in my opinion.

Agree. Hardest it has snowed since the early December storm.

Box seems to be in agreement with the TV mets I watched this morning. Most had a coating to 2 for the Merrimack valley area. Temp is a bit cooler than forecasted

Considering how many people have stocked up on groceries a prolong power outage is the last thing anyone wants right now.

It was great to see it snowing for awhile.
