I remember sitting at my breakfast table reading the LA Times before work at my then private office. I noted the prog of a low in the gulf. I canceled the rest of the week and was on the red eye to Boston that night. Event was a dud-maybe 2 inches. But there was snow cover and cold. This was maybe January 1981?
Yeah it definitely uber weenieed me. I lost 15 winters! I probably will give them up soon and maybe become a snowbird. For now, I think a 1-2 week break late in winter works.
