Guest Pamela Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hi Giggles. What B+ ? When you gave that totally serious critique of my critique. I really was at a loss for a snappy retort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeRain Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 in 1968 I went from listening to Frankie Valli in January to Frank Zappa later in the year...The mothers of invention...1968 was a bad year to this country and snowstorms around here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoOwQd-1Hrg Hi UnK, I think Zappa had his best bands in '73 and 74. Over-Nite Sensation, Roxy and Elsewhere for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 The thing about it was; there was a lousy anticyclone in place...it was one of those "one in ten" situations I often cite...nine other times it would be rain...but with a cold February ocean...a halfway decent track...and a little luck...the city did great & Westchester was close to 30 inches, IIRC....east of Upton on Long Island it was mostly rain. Though Eastern Long Island would cash in about 2 weeks later as they were on the fringes of one of Boston's greatest snow events...the much ballyhooed "100 hours storm"...that brought copious snow totals to places like Logan Field & Blue Hill Observatory in Milton / elevation 628 feet.

Guest Pamela Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Though Eastern Long Island would cash in about 3 week later as they were on the fringes of one of Boston's greatest snow events...the much ballyhooed "100 hours storm"...that brought copious snow totals to places like Logan Field & Blue Hill Observatory in Milton / elevation 628 feet. Places like Bridgehampton & Cutchogue were in the 7 to 8 inch range for the Feb 24-28, 1969 event. Logan Airport in Boston cracked the 20 inch barrier...but it was not really deemed a 20 inch event because it did not fall within the prescribed 48 hour limit...it was more or less over the course of 4 days. It took until the winter of 1977-78 for Logan in Boston to record not one but two 20+ inch events...1/21/1978...and the famed Blizzard of '78...falling on 2/6/78 - 2/7/78.

96blizz Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I think its time they permanently ban me and I move on...I'll still read the board as a guest during the winter. Everything runs its course...and then its over. A fresh start elsewhere sounds good. Moderators or administrator...remove this account and all associated posts. It will be like I was never even here... Regards, Pamela We can only dream that this is true. Those that take pleasure in degrading and demeaning others are the worst kind. Especially those who clearly think they have "superior" knowledge and intelligence. People didn't sit at the lunch table with you years ago but trying to exact that same kind of revenge on others behind your keyboard makes you no better than the ones that hurt you. Go away and don't show up anywhere. Genuine and caring people don't like people like you and they never will. Anthony is a good, good soul and person. Get help.

I criticized the posts; not the person...so don't rewrite history for dramatic effect. I hardly think I am the first to make critical comments about the contents of another member's posts. As for the rest of your post...its mostly subjective & laced with inferences as we have never met...much to my relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
