Great Snow 1717

"my neighbor got the peppers but he ain't getting these"

meanwhile the girlfriend..

Consistently more windy today than during last weekend's Storm of the Century...

We'll never know...take methuen for example ...the west side is colder than the east side. That is especially true closer to Pelham. It is not unusual for that part of the city to receive more snowfall especially in "mixed" storms..

If you go back into the 1600's -1800's it was not uncommon for measurements to be taken until a day or 2 after a storm had ended... often times people didn't venture outside until they felt safe to do so...they had no real way of knowing if a storm had ended or not....it was risky to venture from home because the concern was being caught out in the elements with no way of summoning help.

It has been quite the torched fall...lol

I did not specifically mention A's or B's in my post. I stated that back in the day the measurements were taken after a storm had ended...in other word all snowstorms regardless of "type"

Did I say it didn't?

You are correct regarding snow measurements. Back in the day the measurements were often taken after a storm had ended. I'll go to my grave stating the snowfall totals for the Merrimack Valley area for the Blizzard of 78 were on the low side..

The neighbor is too busy trying to get his peppers back..lol

Zero chance of that happening lol

Just wait till the coming election bloodbath in November...

...just like his political views...

Perhaps that is why he enjoyed a September torch??
