Default Re: Snow, snow, and more snow.

Well, the snow has been pretty ridiculous (I live Northeast of Boston) with almost 100 inches (254cm) in 3 weeks. Yesterday was 40°F (4.4°C) and raining, caused a bunch of flooding (not as much as I expected though), and today is -5°F (-30.5°C) with nearing -30°F (-34.4°C) wind chill so no matter where you walk it's ice. The record for snow in Boston (I wish I could give stats for my city, but I don't think they keep them as accurately) was previously 107.6 inches (273.3 cm, hah would've been great if it were 273.15) in the winter of 2005-2006.
As of February 15th, we were at 95.7 inches (243cm) and it didn't even really start until January 23rd.


And just for fun, this was my mom down by the coast where they were putting some of the snow from downtown crosswalks and storm drains (or anything else that should be cleared out). The pile is significantly larger now, and spans a parking lot of 200x300 feet (60x90m approximately) where I used to work.
