![]() 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. |

That would be perfect. First, have to sell this place. I don't want a situation like we had before where we had a place (actually two places) in Florida while still having this house. It will sell eventually. We are going to take it off the market temporarily and then put it back on at a lower price sometime in April-May. It makes no sense to be advertising it right now and having tire kickers wanting to have showings every weekend. We do have a couple of potential buyers who are somewhat serious and are researching financing options and checking codes for additional horses. Good luck to them. It's a buyer's market for properties in this price range. |

In the late 80's we were talking to a guy in E. Islip, NY. He was visiting his kids. Stated when he retired he went south until it stopped snowing, stuck his snow shovel in the ground and went a thousand miles more. ![]() |
