You did have a fig leaf…..

Frosty morning. I had a dream that Steve was doing pbp on an early but low res 0z euro run. Finally when sv came out the low took an unusual path from the lower gulf around the Florida peninsula and up the coast. As the burial was about to begin I awakened as I needed to take my wife for an early appointment. Put that one in your blog for next winter Ray!

I kind of wish my daughter didn’t move back to Boston after she completed uvm. This would have been a fun year to visit. We were there in early December and the ground was still bare and all I came home with was covid.

Gorgeous today. Light jacket on one of my walks now. Coolidge Corner is abuzz.

I told you sne below 1500 elevation muthufukkas that Roy sang. Opening day next week.

I want Dave to pull another near 30. That should mute mehing for a bit…right Dave?

Done. Since I have no idea how long I have I’ll make it next season.

It’s not snowing after I’m dead unless all of you are nice to me.

George, no way BOS averages 49 from 1890-now. I can buy that 1991-2020 but not 130 years.

He threw in 2008-09 as “average” despite Logan being 50% above.

They usually do and their climo is better.

Beautiful early spring day today.

Roy sang. Case closed

About a month ago my wife and I were walking and we heard the pack howling in the woods across the street. Kind of blood curdling and definitely made you realize that if you have to duck in and pee reconsider.

For sne under 1500 feet only..

La Niña that year but first year nina.

Yup. My sense is for me we are done. I’m turning my wants to SW breezes and warmth.

I think it’s #4 presuming there’s no more this season. 1936-37: 9.0 2011-12: 9.3 1972-73: 10.3 2022-23: 12.4 1979-80: 12.5

12.4 at Logan through today. Full ratter.

So o should let Roy rest for a bit longer?

I give you great credit for enthusiasm in the face of misery. 2.4 inches here is gone as of this moment outside of a few renegade clumps. And I’m happy about that-back to sneakers for walking.

Yeah-I got multiple texts from my Chicago family asking how much snow. I just curtly replied the amount. My wife broke her right arm slipping on the ice 2/7. Pretty disabling and she can’t drive-today is a f/u appointment-cast comes off in 2 weeks and then removable splint for 6 more-even she commented on the lack of snow in the lowlands. She also told me that in her opinion this snow won’t amount to much. I hate when she’s right!

I had to drive my wife this morning for an appointment at the Brigham and it really is night and day from my neighborhood to yours. As soon as we got to Jamaica Pond it barely looked like it snowed. That band between 11 and midnight and a bit beyond was more intense than anything I’ve seen this season. In Brookline Village walking around the old neighborhood and snow cover is minimal. By the time we get back home probably around 11AM it probably will be heading that way but that 200 feet elevation made a huge difference yesterday albeit for a disappointing and worthless event for 128 on east.

I got caught walking in it. Heaviest snow I’ve seen since the Jan 2022 blizzard. Pushed me up to 2.4 and it’s not over but that will have to be my final.
