Great Snow 1717

Do I hear 4 days?? lol

Hey you can be angry but the question is...is the anger going to change the situation or benefit you?

Methuen did get hit hard. All night long I could hear the branches cracking and breaking off of trees. There was quite the mess to clean up. West Methuen looked like a tank battle had occurred.

There is no sense getting angry over it. That's just the way the weather cookie crumbles at times.

Some would be angry at only getting 20 while others received 30..

Also started as rain in the Merrimack Valley area. Basketball practice that night started at 5. Four hours later when the coaches and players went outside, we found everything encased in ice. We could hear the accidents occurring on 495.

Nah that wouldn't happen....

How do you know?...According to amounts reported in that area it doesn't seem to be all that different.

The lines are already being drawn for another round of Model Wars...

It does look and feel like winter

I never realized that.....

Most of the snow fell on 2 days....not exactly a snowy winter despite the total amount of snow.

..and the surprise is???

Not with out a fight!...if Russia can invade Ukraine....well lets just say that Massachusetts can invade Albany..

News out of Box this morning is that they are denying the existence of W. Mass...

Sorry to hear. I'll have a sympathy card in the mail by the end of the week...

How did you sneak into the Methuen DPW bathroom????

Agree,....I learned a long time ago that the weather is going to do whatever it wants to do As the noted baseball philosopher Mickey Rivers said...

Final total in Methuen 16.5......with 1 exception..... Ray's place...

Thanks....just need a late field goal to get to 18..

As of 530...15 inches in Methuen

I hear Methuen is planning on making you an offer that you can't refuse...

knowing Ray's luck the home next door to his home will have 18 inches while he has 10-12 at his place...
