It’s a ridiculous rag at this point. Somehow they still put one out 6 days per week. We used to get it here until 10 years ago or something. My mother in law still gets it even though her eyesight doesn’t work well enough. It’s only like 4 pages long.

I love this column from the Gardner News. I know the writer but who knows how accurate any of the temps mentioned were https://www.thegardnernews.com/story/news/2004/01/16/the-chill-winter-in-gardner/11270366007/

All kinds of anecdotal stories of crazy low temps here from that February . Nothing verified of course and wonky thermometers.

Was that 1943 temp legit?

Looks like -24F on Feb 16, 1943 https://marine.weather.gov/product.php?site=MHX&issuedby=ORH&product=CLS&format=CI&version=11&glossary=0

Understandable... I got 20ish inches in December in several smaller events... I love good storms but will take pack refreshers

I wouldn't mind December redux... clippahs, litle events... if we aren't getting any bigguns

Very meh as far as low temps today compared with other days/locations. A bit breezy.

I’ve had some melting of the snow on my roof. Icicles starting and some ice forming on my front steps where it has dripped a bit. I also watched yesterday morning, once the sun rose, as the dusting of snow on my daughter’s car disappeared in about an hour (sublimation). it’s happening, just slowly

OMG. I forgot about the Disconnector. that could never be published/printed today.

The parking lot at my school was such a mess today. People couldn’t see the parking space lines and parked like idiots. They sent out a huge email showing all the cars that had to move so buses could get through. I can park there blindfolded since I’ve been there so long but it was funny.

I was in Smith (RIP). I actually watched them tear it down during the summer of 2010. Eames was a women’s dorm. Smith was a men’s dorm. We shared a cafeteria in Smith as well as access to the steam tunnel connecting across University Ave

When I went to ULowell (UMass Lowell now) I lived in a dorm on the north campus for two years that had a steam tunnel connecting it to the main buildings. We could go to class in shorts and flip flops when it was below zero.

I found one of those big stink bug things a week ago. Scared the crap out of me for a second
