I find that hard to believe. I live in the torchiest part of the south shore when it comes to sun and nothing showing yet. 

Outside of piles from shoveling sidewalk and driveway my front yard is bare.

I can understand because you warm sectored, but he didn’t.

We got like 3” before rain, it’s not that hard to believe. We’ve had less snow here than you.

This was yesterday but still a great sight. Maybe I posted this…who knows

I had like 1.5” more.  Not exactly a huge difference.

I was in Springfield this afternoon for work, the side roads are terrible, seems you have more snow on the ground than I do here, not much more, maybe a couple inches.

Our road has gotten a bit better but it’s not great. Thankfully, a good portion of the ice at the end of the driveway and into the road is gone. I did alot of work on it Monday evening. Need the ice on the patio to melt though so dog can’t get out there. Sucks because that area doesn’t get good direct sunlight yet. It’s too much to chop and deal with

I took the ice chopper and chopped at it and the ice pieces that broke off I took the shovel and heaved them into the snow.

It’s a symbolic, beginning of spring tradition. I can’t walk to Boscawen.

I haven’t been to Richardson’s, but I only do the basic ingredients in my ice cream…milk, cream, eggs, real sugar, flavor. 

They are purists

real cream

real sugar

I have the same problem with my patio and my 15 year old arthritic dog, she's tried to go out there but ends up slipping and sliding, so she does her deed in the 5 foot cleared area or on puppy pads I put by the door. I should have went out last Sunday and cleaned it but didn't think it would freeze so quick.

I had started to clean but then elected not too b/c I figured the snow would some ice on it would be easier to deal with then any freezing rain clinging to the concrete…oops bad mistake.

Yeah, not much pack left.  lots of bare spots up through Braintree and Hanover etc, too.   Tough winter there

Posted in March thread, but icon has a very similar progression to that 18z euro run, it ends up bombing interior.

Early on you can see the changes on gfs to look more like icon/euro

No, but it is what it is. My yard gets full sun and it’s getting pretty bare in the front outside of piles from the snowblower and I have a huge spot opening up in the back too.

When you consistently underperform on snow events, it’s hard to build anything up pack wise, even compared to your area.

[Heisy]

It just sort of misses the total phase like the icon, but it still dump wet snow over SNE. Really curious what cmc and euro do, I’ve been intrigued with this 28th period for a miller b and it’s starting to look possible

You didn’t underperform last weekend. You were 2-4 and got 3.

Noticed the patchy grass showing in the most persistent sun spots on my way to the gym this morning. Down to 98% coverage, next 7 days should do a lot of work on that pack..
