Heard this morning that as of January 23rd, the official snowfall in
Boston and surrounding areas had only been 5.5 inches.

Since then over 58 inches have fallen. Getting stupid. This amount
of
snow is great for unpopulated ski locations but towns and cities
have run out of places to put the crap.

Going to have another cup of coffee and then go hit the driveway again
for about the 10th time in the past 2-3 weeks. Same problem. No
place
to push it. I am really regretting that I got rid of the big
snowblower
attachment I had for the tractor at one time but it was a rip roaring
pain in the ass to take off the front end loader in order to put the
snow blower on.-


Just tried doing the driveway. Whatever the plow pushes to the side
just rolls back into the driveway as I pass by. If I could do about 80
mph down the driveway it might work but it's going to be tractor time
again later. Ridiculous.

Weymouth, a town about 15 miles north of us towards Boston has had
20 inches of additional snow since 8 pm last night.



Looks like you are getting it this year. Here in Michigan we set a new
all time record for snowfall last year. We just did last weekend have a
17 incher so our February total is closing in on 20" for the month.


Yeah, this is crazy and not typical for this area. We are in a winter
jet stream setup that causes the clippers to generate lows off shore
that blow up and then this area. New record set today and it's still
snowing. Well over 60 inches of snow in the past 17 days.
That's unheard of, even for this area.

Bad news is the trend is going to continue. Another storm is now
forecast for Thursday/Friday and then another on Sunday/Monday.

I've never seen so much snow in such a short period of time.
