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...  |

I like your attitude Paul - God hates a coward... 
Picked up a coupla real nice boat rods over the winter...customs on J Kennedy Fisher blanks...they sure will be nice for live-lining or tossing big eels once the season gets rolling...  |

It was squalling last night on the ferry ride back from ACK. Hyannis at 9pm was blizzard like and a PIA driving home after a long day of working on the island. By the time we hit the canal it was gone.
