I might end up laughing in a strait jacket

You would have to laugh at that solution otherwise you'll be institutionalized by February .

OK. Logan is actually doing better this locale, we're a bit under that. Even so personally I would not bet on making 25" here. 4/1/97 still didn't make it a memorable winter, it was a very memorable storm in an otherwise very forgettable winter.

Personally I would love 4/1/97. That said we already had 25" at Logan that year. Need to have a good stretch to get near there this year.

And scene....Curtains close on January.

Temp here has gone up from 36 two hours ago to 38 now. The drying has begun.

I know but it's just weather.

Somebody needs to take all the sharp objects away from scooter this morning...

It' a joke, read the new title.

Quit whining

I had an '82Z i bought in 89. The 305 blew up after about six months. Replaced it with an 1982 corvette L82. 230hp. That was sweet but the transmission wasn't happy After that car I went to Toyota cars and Ford trucks (since Toyota doesn't make larger trucks). Toyota and Honda since then.

At least it will be cold...

after the Monday storm tracking over my head if the next one tracks over Springfield I SWEAR I WILL BLOW MY TOP LIKE A VOLCANO....too soon?

Was going to mention the 80's had some cold dry winters but an occasional clipper would come in. This year not so much. Been awhile since Boston had a below normal temp and precip winter.

To be clear i'm not saying they should go back to sand, but it will stay on the road when it's raining. Cars.push it off the road very quickly when it's dry.

I don't work for a dpw or any state or city but I will say one the things that has hampered the response to freezing rain or drizzle is the lack of sand. Sand is all but outlawed in many areas of the country for use since it is really considered a pollutant now. Does anybody remember the beaches that would be left on the sides of the roads after the winter? Sand is really the only thing that will remain on the road after a storm. Brine washes away quickly if there is any rain at all. That said a storm like this does require a heavy response to keep the roads clear of ice. De-icers and liquids will wash away within minutes of being applied so constant applications are necessary and pretreating is only good for about an hour (maybe less) depending on how heavy it's raining. All that said, if you apply nothing then that is guaranteeing failure.

Bouchard finally caving, 3-5 for most and 5-7 for south of boston

Bouchard going for broke with the temps, brings the 1-2" line into boston
