I was going to whine about it, cause I figured everyplace down there was sunny and 60. It's snowing here in Vermont and if it snows a little harder it will start sticking. The technical term for this would be "Sugar snow" since it's maple syrup makin time.

I take it you forgot about the 28" of snow we got about a decade back on April 1st. I'll be in Jamaica a week from today so let it snow I don't care I can handle it.

I'll never forget it, it was 1997 my son was 2 weeks old.
We were living on Wareham St. in Middleboro.
A white pine fell onto the roof, partially through, above the kids room where Paulette was feeding the him.

I unfortunately do not have pictures or they are in a box somewhere to be uncovered by an archeologist several thousand years from now.

I also remember 18" of snow in 1983 my first year in Boston waiting what seemed like hours for the No. 73 Waverly to show up so I could finally end my 3 hour journey from Boston to Belmint via Mass Transit

On May 7th 1975 or 76 we got 10" of snow in NW RI. I will never forget tulips in bloom with just the flowers above the snow.

No boat, back in the suds.

Waiting for 60 degree days and sunshine, too, but gotta go with the flow. Planning to ski at least a couple of more days, and then I'll stretch the fly line in preparation for opening day in RI.

It was '76, Paul - I remember I had just come back after spending the winter in Florida and didn't come back til May 1 so I wouldn't have to see any snow that year -

Fat chance -

Look at the bright side - there was a year in the early 1800's in New England that they called 'The Year Without A Summer' - it snowed in July that year...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
