How is the weather?

[Daverz]

Daverz is an amateur. It was 26º C (78+) here in Dallas today!!

Well, I'm not using the tube amps today.

Send me your address and I can ship you several tons of solid water by U.P.S. (c.o.d. of course).   

Wait a few years and it might be cost effective.

It is in the 50s for overnight lows here in SoFla almost all this week!
Meanwhile, this low level chuckle shared on FB.

Braved the elements and went for a walk through what would usually be a traffic-filled downtown (driving ban was in effect.)

Tony, where do you live?  I know  there might be a generic look to regional architecture, but that looks almost exactly like the buildings just down the road from my uncle's house (the road in his case being Trapelo Road in Belmont).

     "Fuck you", he explained.

Hey, some guys have got 26°.  F*** them first!

I'm not far from there, Jeffrey. The pictures are of Medford, just a few miles east of Belmont. If you were to take a right onto Route 16 in the last picture I posted, you'd get to your uncle's house in about 5 to 10 minutes.

Almost neighbors!

70+ in Denver yesterday. *ducks*

[Szykneij]

Well, we now have another foot of snow on top of what he already had. The good news is, my "Who's Who in Baseball 2015" is supposed to be delivered today (provided the UPS truck can make it down the street.)
Spring can't be too far away!

Spring can't be too far away!

I like winter too, but I don't have anything against spring.

The record for the most snow in Boston in a 30-day period has just been set in a little over two weeks, with the current storm not expected to end until tomorrow and another on the way! Staying inside with my cup of coffee for a while.

[Karl Henning]

Definitely an indoorsy day, Tony.

[North Star]

What nonsense - those are the best days to go outside. (unless it's not a choice. . .) The cup of coffee will taste much sweeter after a exposing one to the weather, too.

Yes, but it's still early in the morning here so I'm going to relax on the couch for a bit longer before putting the boots on.

And as I understand, there is yet another scheduled for Thursday... Reminds me of my youth; misspent in snow country!

Luckily, the temperature is cold so the snow is light. Moving it isn't too hard, but finding a place to put it is the challenge.

Gurn, we're you around here for the Blizzard of '78?

Aye.

I was in northern Jersey.  Massachusetts got it much worse, of course, but it was no picnic down yonder, either 

[mc ukrneal]

Ah '78. Now THAT was a great snow year. We had ice storms too, and the electricity was out for almost a week. I remember our neighbor had a generator and he ran a cord across the street to our house (which we just 'buried' by putting water and ice over it so that is wouldn't move when cars drove over it) and we were able to watch the super bowl. We had no lights, but the fridge was working and the TV. I remember about 25-30 people crammed around the tv. I think it was Cowboys/Steelers (or maybe it was a playoff game), but I don't recall exactly. It was the only time I remember snow high enough to build a short sled 'run', because of all the snow piled up. Was also the only time we had enough snow for a fort.

The Great Blizzard of '78 (Ohio) (aka the White Hurricane) happened two weeks before your blizzard. An ice storm with very strong winds preceded the snow. Unnoticed by Mrs. Rock and me, the wind forced the door to our balcony open (a sliding glass door). The ice froze the door in place; we couldn't get it closed. When the snow arrived, we had a blizzard in our living room  The snow actually piled up on the rug. It was two days before we were able to close the door.

Gosh, what a story!

Yes, in Vermont. We hardly noticed it in the background noise. Go back another 10 years though and we had one to remember; 3' of snow in 24 hours, on top of 30" already on the ground. Only time I can ever remember shutting down the Interstate hwy.  Back where we lived, 180"/year was about right. Back then, trips to Boston usually involved seeing the grass for the first time in a month or 3...
