We can only hope, remember when March comes in like a Lion it goes out like a Lamb - and of course vice versa.
(Besides, those aren't actually proper storms - just normal winter weather.)

Oh contraire, March comes in like a lamb, and goes out like a salt marsh harvest mouse.

Well, it got cold enough to freeze my best papaya tree. Time to move further south!

I hate papaya anyway, bundle up and save your whining for Sailor when you're handing him wrenches in the frozen ass driveway.

That would mean I'd have to actually start them and run them up to temperature, because I never run them and stop them cold... very nasty acids build up in the sump when you do that... gotta fully warm them up every time... that's why their engines, some of which I rebuilt 35+ years ago, are still running.

NYTimes: Boston’s Winter From Hell
Boohoo, right? Boston's barely endurable in the best of times, and then only by feckless college wastrels doping on daddy's dime. Least now it's covered over and purdy.

on the lighter side
Well it's 15° but the sun is shining and the birds are singing up a happy storm, spring is on it's way.

I understand you are going to be getting a bit of weather this week. Well, we are getting weather. fucking drought, and fucking Californian drought refugees clogging up the roads and the pubs with their assward behaviour. Please, make it rain like it used to do.

Like right now. 3-5" tonight. Haven't seen this in a long while, winters when you could walk across harbors, when all the bogs froze and everyone owned ice skates. A number of the larger buildings in town were horse hauled here on skids across the Sound from Nantucket after its whaling economy cratered.
One thing the link above mentions I would like to see is Olympic sailing events in Buzzards Bay. I know, sounds like watching paint dry but this bay boasts variable winds challenging to the most adept sailors. Besides, who wants to watch dilettantes race Boston Harbor in hazmat suits?

I remember as a kid with the ice on the bay up in Canada. Our winters here are disappearing. On one hand, Wahoo! But on the other, not so good. When the ice age returns, it will be with a vengeance.

Just so glad our waterfront summer cottage is on a rise *way* above the lakefront. (we take stairs down to the water). When all that ice breaks up and the wind picks up it's gonna be a hellacious flinging of ice.

Box up ice and snow and send it. We got a whopping 0.10" of rain today.

I had a nice lunch in Wahoo just the other year; Corningware plates but a nice lunch just the same.
If you don't like the weather just give a wait it has a way of sorting itself out, doesn't mean it's gonna follow our schedule and doesn't mean we can be rude to the planet but just give it a moment or so and remember to be careful of what you ask for. Keep in mind that this was a volcano year and that level of ash in the atmosphere changes everything.
Remember: Don't Panic and always leave things better than you found them.

Those are great shots Choad. I recently pulled up the almanac of March and could not distinguish it from recent Januarys.
How much will stick today? They are calling for 3" and 26 degress in RI. Nuts.

You guys make me glad that I live in the not too deep south. We only had two measurable snow events this winter. The one pictured was only about 5 inches.

That is awesome. When I returned to the area on May day I discovered a 5 ft drift still covering half the parking lot next door. I climbed a top but stomping on it in an act of collective fustration moved its dark cold soul not one bit.
Employees at Oasys Water, a water treatment company, jotted their guesses on a window in their seventh-floor perch overlooking the snow farm.
Oasys Water is the leading provider of integrated forward osmosis systems for high recovery desalination, including brine management and zero liquid discharge. Our technology is used by major industrial companies that require reuse of toxic wastewaters or in areas of extreme water scarcity.
I guess even they would not venture to test their system on the outflow from this oozing mass of human detritus.
