  1. At least in the metro-Boston area I disagree. AWD doesn't help if the roads are full of stuck semis, etc. But the weekend thing, maybe. Also, today the forecast might have kept more people at home Plows are not much different than they were back then.
  2. Yeah, I was living in Lowell and it was certainly a fun storm.But to get 35"+ like they probably did here would be top 5 for sureI think Lowell had 18" or so
  3. These could be the longest lasting snowpiles I have seen in a while. 1978 had piles into June near me (snow farm at the Foxboro Company parking lot), so that was 5 months or so.The October snow could make it that long...hard to say. A wet torch could kill that
  4. Hard to say. There were still small piles of it in the local Walmart in Gardner in January. Those piles are now under piles formed during Jan 12, etc. No way to prove it though
  5. October was really cool for me, but just a big powder bomb. Top 10 event due to lots of snow and top 5 for me due to weirdness. But very little impact here. Roads were drivable the next day, no power loss. My top storms were 1978 by a lot 2008 Ice storm April 1997 2005 Oct 2011
  6. Ahhh... The date on the pic is wrong... it was Jan 13, 2011 Stupid battery died and I forgot to rest the date
  7. I suppose the most disturbing incident came the other night. I walked into the bathroom, and he was sitting on the toilet, clutching a winter storms book, rocking back and forth, and speaking quietly but quickly in what almost seemed another language. After hearing a few repetitions I determined that he was saying, “If Will throws in the towel, it’s over.” This made me guffaw.... my wife gave me strange looks
  8. Those were Ray's farts Jeez, a met in NJ must be p.o.'d
  9. Sandals and shorts in Feb Snowblowers are ornery
  10. Nicely done Steve I wonder if Will ever did something on it
  11. This is Dec 1992 in Worcester (from someone's Flickr accnt)
  12. What images, radar captures, etc exists for Dec 1992? I have seen the WCVB report on Youtube
  13. Boxing Day was meh for me, but it was fun to revisit those threads
  14. Not even sure of the date of that... we have these servers... make 'em work!
  15. Powder squeeks when it is cold enough. Love that sound
  16. An old snow weenie I worked with used to tell me about that storm. Sadly he died last December
  17. Ahhhhh Feb 1969 series of good events that never stopped
  18. 1978 was my lifetime storm Nothing else close If you didn't live it you can't understand. Complete snowfall devestation 40+" widespread. Hurricane winds. Cold temps. Long duration I would endure 10 2006-2007 to experience that again
  19. Dec 1992 I was living on Sarah Ave in Lowell Spent the afternoon evening pushing cars that were stuck (usually cute coeds). We also walked to the packy that was still open I think we finished around 18". I was mostly ****faced
