 Been watching the news Kevin and you guys look like you really getting dumped on. When I was a Wee Lad, we lived in Lynnfield MA. I loved winter, the more snow the better but my dad hated winter and after digging out the old Buick one too many times, he moved us to California. Thanks Dad:-)

Good call on your dad's part! I loved the winter too...until it became my job to shovel!

We used to say that we loved the "white" Christmases, but the "white" Easters would get us down.

Kevin,

I had a meeting in Boston today. Based on the snow I saw on the ground, you may not be able to drive your car until June!  Let's hope not! ;)

As quickly as it arrived, it was in the low 40's here today and about half of what landed on the ground as melted. The piles along the streets and parking lots are a different story!
