The new storm of the century.

[piemma]

It's New England. It's December. What!! You didn't expect this!.
Come on, I've seen worst storms that were not even forecast. This was a blip on the radar screen. No big deal.

Now the Blizzard of 78, that was a storm. 54" of snow in Burrillville. 14 foot drifts. They plowed my road after 4 days with a road grader and a 10 foot V-plow. Plus we had 18" on the ground from a storm 3 days before.

Well said. That's a storm. Not this little dusting. Hell, I was all dug out and cleaned up by 6:00 AM yesterday, I had maybe 12-14" with some 3 foot drifts. Not even in the top 50 storms I have seen up here.

The season is still young. The Pacific is very active. let's not ask for more than we can handle.

95-96 was was the worst year I can remember, I have a child to prove it.

I remember that year. I was working a consulting gig in Chicago. Got stuck there for about 10 days. Every time O'Hare would open, the East Coast would close. O'Hare closes and the East Coast opened up.

I finally said the hell with it and rented a car and drove home. If I hadn't been working I wouldn't have hung on that long but I was getting paid plus stayng at The Drake and had a $100/day per diem for food and drink so life was good.

At least we aren't out some place this week, that's good money and the Drake too.

How's the BoatCave?

Crane coming this morning to put up the trusses. Snow slowed us up a bit. I'll post some pics later today.
