I remember it well, living in Pawtucket and working at Stop&Shop. The trees were in full bloom and the weight of the snow snapped limbs and took down a bunch of powerlines. The market lost power, and they called us in to work in the middle of the night to try to save all the frozen food and dairy. Laid a bunch of sheet metal over the freezers (they were open in those days) but still lost thousands in product
1989 maybe.....when we got dumped on with snow on 4-27.....a wet snow that melted fast....but SNOW. hey did ya hear? pensylvania got 29 inches in one day over last weekend while we got only rain.... broke every record known.....
Karl, I still have my snow brush in the Jeep and both shovels and the push broom on the back deck -
That year we had the May 10th snow I'd been living in Florida all winter and didn't come back to RI until May 6th so I wouldn't have to see snow...
"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.
