You can always go into the Mid Atlantic forum to see snow pics as well from this morning. There is plenty of snow all around us, and definitely not including us.
...Tonight's rain is rather refreshing. It has a diffrent feel than the rain from a few days ago, and definitley a much better, and wetter feel than the multiple rains before that.
I suppose there's just something more magical this time about looking up into the darkness of a 36F winter sky and feeling those tiny dots of moisture burst all over my face. I can't quite put my finger on it though.
It was either the winter of 93/94 or 94/95 after I moved to DC for a few years when I remember Newport and Bristol getting buried for a good number of weeks. I think 93/94.
Bristol is awful. I went to college there, and winters sucked. It was my first time living in R.I.. My nickname for the state is, Rain Island. The "March Super Storm" of 93 was the one memorable event during my time there. My daughter is there and has been there for the past 5 years and she has seen a couple good storms though.
