Get Your Shovels Ready in the NE guys

No kidding! Enough!

As I shared with a friend in Utah, what do the following dates have in common?

January 24, 27, 30, February 2, 5, 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 22, March 1, 2, 3, 4.

Answer: each date represents a *different* snow storm, at least one each weekend. We're actually up to the tenth "named storm" so far. Eastern Connecticut now has received the equivalent of eight feet of snow, altho' the actual depth at my place is about 3.5 feet due to compression and evaporation. The sides of the driveway look like white sedimentary strata, with grey "dirt" lines separating the storms.

Today (45F) another three inches - this time heavy wet stuff which weighs a ton. Temp drops into the 20s tonight, so it all freezes solid if you don't remove it fast.

Trying to lift it to the top of the five foot piles already along my 200 foot driveway - heart attack city. A friend of mine (age 72) learned yesterday his 57 year old son (divorced) died of a heart attack while shoveling. Leaves two kids alone.

Tonight - more snow! But at least I know how to dress for it:

Old Walter was right!


You only have 4,995 feet to go!
 
" Presumably no traffic moved, and school was let out for the day."

(And ol' Walter was right about *many* things!)
