Took this picture a half hour ago. The snow is nearly as high as the
paddock fence. The top rail of the fence is about 50-52 inches high. As the images shows, it's *still* snowing hard. http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy303/Eisboch/DSC_0523.jpg |

There is no doubt that you are having a winter to remember forever. That is a lot of snow. We set a new record here last winter with just over 94" for the season. You guys are getting our whole seasons worth in a month.

We set a new record here last winter with just over 94" for the season. You guys are getting our whole seasons worth in a month. Yeah, as of January 23rd Boston had 5.5 inches of snow. Looked like it would be an easy winter. Since then we've had over 89 additional inches in a little over 3 weeks. Surprisingly the roads aren't bad except for the gigantic piles of snow at intersections that blocks your view of traffic. I keep bitching about my driveway because it's long and I've run out of places to put the snow. You can't plow with 4 or 5 foot snow banks on each side. I've gone to plowing *into* the banks every 30 or 40 feet and pushing it as far as I can, making a space to put more snow with the tractor's front end loader. Snow blower is useless in this. Right now at 6:00 am it is minus 5 degrees outside and the wind is still gusting. Wind chill is minus 22 F. 6-8 more inches of snow predicted for tomorrow (Tuesday) and then the potential for a more serious storm next weekend. Won't quit. |

Like other major airports, they have some incredible snow removing equipment. |
