Where’s The Snow
What a difference of a matter of 12 hours, that most of the snow is gone. Look at the earlier post, and you’ll see the difference.
Snow On The 2nd Day Of Spring
Woke up this morning and saw the whiteness on the ground and trees.
One more photo showing the street and across the way.
Gotta love New England weather.
Spring Redux
Weather people
now say that
snow storm won’t
be as bad as
they thought it
would.
Now they say
maybe an inch
or two of the
white stuff on
my part of the
commonwealth.
A Pondering Moment #4
When someone
says they
feel under
the weather
well … we
all live
under the
weather no
matter what
the weather
is like whether
it is sunny,
raining, snowing
etc., etc. ….

Snow No Snow
Last year nearing
the end of
February, we had
100 plus inches
of snow.
In some places
there were snow
piles higher
than a two story
building.
At this very
moment, there
is no snow
to be found.
An El Nino
weather pattern
will do that
in the northeastern
part of the US.
Maybe next
winter payback
could be a bitch.

It Is April, Right?
The calendar says
it is April 8
Well, it’s
36 degrees
and it’s
snowing.
Come Friday
the expected
high is
supposed to
be 65.
Just more
wacky/weird
New England
weather to
deal with.
Springtime In New England
We all could use a little humor, especially with all the snow that was dumped on us.
Dirty Snow
March 20 is to be the first day of Spring, but here in the Boston area, and doesn’t have the feel of a new season set to begin, as it has and still is windy as all hell, with wind chill factors at times in the teens. Also, there is snow to arrive on Friday, and in some places it could be a plowable one.

It Doesn’t Make Any Sense
For the past couple of nights, I have seen ads of all things: lawn care. It seems odd to show green grass, flowers, etc., when there is so much damn snow on the ground, and it looks like it will be here for quite awhile.
By the way, we’re expecting another inch to three inches tonight, and then change over to freezing rain and then just rain, early Wednesday morning.
Well Agnes, we’ll just have to grin and bare it until Its finally gone.

I Read On …..
I read on
boston.com
the snow
that is still
on the ground
with the exception
of the real
tall mounds of
it, should be
melted and gone
between March 25
and April 3.
Then dear
Agnes, it
will all be
just a memory.

Oh Yeah …..
Oh yeah
Agnes it’s
begun to
snow in
Massachusetts
The fourth
weekend in
a row
a storm
has occurred

Just A Thought
With all
the snow
in the
past three
weeks, which
was a
good amount,
there is
one way
and the
best way
of looking
at it,
Laugh!
No sense
in getting
all bent
out of
shape, as
it won’t
do you
any good.
Besides, its
Winter!
Enjoy it,
maybe next
Winter will
be one
of those
small amounts
of snow.

A Lot Of Snow
In the current 30 day period, the Boston area has so far, more than 61.6 inches of snow, which beats the previous record 58.5 inches back in 1978. And the snow is still coming down.
More in The Boston Globe.

Morning Snow 2
The streets and parking lots are just about deserted. The snow is supposed to be done with late tonight, or early tomorrow morning. There’s talk about another storm for Thursday.

More Snow On The Way
February 2 is Groundhog Day
How many groundhogs will
see their shadows?
As far as living in
Massachusetts, more
snow is predicted
for Monday.
Talk is, 6-10″,
6-12″, 10-12″,
12″ plus.
Snow is good for
skiers and snow
boarders, but
not so much for
drivers, shovelers,
pedestrians, etc.
I say just grin
and bare it, as
in another month
or two, it will
be just a memory.

Typical Winter
A couple of days ago
two feet of snow got
dumped upon us.
Today, snowing
lightly, lazily.
Now, the streets
are starting to
get covered again,
the wind is kicking
in, the snow a bit
heavier, the temps
are slowly dropping.
The air is getting
colder.
Just a typical
winter day.

Still Snowing
The storm that started yesterday is still here. The Greater Boston and Worcester got hit the hardest. At 9:00 pm, in the city I live in, there must be at least two feet of snow. New York City escaped the brunt of the storm, but Eastern Massachusetts got the prize. That’s it for now, as the couch is calling for me.

Soon The Big Storm Will Be Here
With the impending Blizzard on the way, the governor of Massachusetts said there will be a driving ban, starting at midnight. We’re expecting two plus feet of snow, with strong winds, and possible coastal flooding. This could be one of the worst snow storm in history.

Side Walk Covered With Snow
The side walk is covered with a layer of snow. This was taken this morning (2/19/14). We got more snow in the afternoon, before it changed to a light mist of rain.
Morning Sun
Early morning sun, a day after another snow storm hit Massachusetts. All the trees are wearing a heavy coat of snow.
Tire Track
While I was standing outside, during the middle of the afternoon, I took my phone out and was going to a photo of the snow covering the yews. When I looked to see how that pic came out, I saw this photo of the tire track and the curb to the left of it. The photo was taken by accident, so decided to post it.
Mother Nature
It seems that mother nature has a problem.
The problem is, she must have a very itchy scalp.
With all the dandruff falling from the sky above,
it looks like she needs a good shampooing, with
a good rinsing.
Then a apply some conditioning, then rinse
and repeat.
Now, all this dandruff is landing on planet
earth, and are the ones who have to deal with it.
When the weather warms up, then a real good
rinsing will commence, and then it will wash away
all the built up dandruff, that she wanted to
share with us.

Shadow

Snow
Its been snowing here for the good part of the morning, and you can see the building’s maintenance man, snow blowing the sidewalk. He will be at this throughout the day, as the storm will not be over till sometime later this afternoon.

I’m sure there are few people out there, that feel this way about winter…

Wet Snow Day
Got about two inches of heavy, wet snow. It was in the mid 30s F, so that isn’t to bad. The colder weather will be here, come Tuesday. Click on image to enlarge it.

Before entering the supermarket, I took a couple of photos. The first one, is a photo of a cemetery in New Hampshire, which is right near the Mass border on the left side of the photo.
The photo below is left of the one above.
Dusting Of Snow On Hedges
Got about an inch or two of snow today, more or less of a nuisance. Warmer weather is to be here for the weekend, and Monday.

This one is in black & white.
The Lights Are On
This is a photo I snapped this past Thursday, but I was too damn lazy to post it. This was taken shortly after sunset, which is 4:13 pm. With that said, there lies the reason of the lights turning on so early.
Snow Covered Park
On my daily walk this morning, I decided to cut through the local park, as the walking was kind of on the treacherous side. Lots of icy spots. I only took this one photo, and it does have a Zen look to it.
After The Storm Photos
Now that the storm has gone up into Maine and the Maritime Provinces, it dumped between 9-10 inches of the white stuff. Here are a few pics to share.
A View Of The Snow Through The Window
Photo taken on Sunday morning (Dec. 15, 2013).
Early Evening Snow
The snow started falling here around 4:00 pm, and the photo below was taken, just before 6:00 pm. The estimate of snow we’re supposed to get is 8-12″.
Light Snow Falling
A View Through The Balcony Window
Two photos of rooftops and grounds covered with a coating of snow. 
Not much of an accumulation, as it went from snow, to sleet, back to snow, then a light mist. 
Wet Day
Texas and other states got hit with snow.
Here in Massachusetts, its warm and wet.
Lots of rain, and some wind.
For some, traveling will be a bitch.
Others will just stay home and not have to worry about it.
As Eric Clapton would sing, “Let it rain.”
Remember: It’s still Autumn.

Around two feet of snow has fallen, and it is still coming down. This photo was taken at 8:30 a.m.

Massachusetts Governor Declares A State Of Emergency
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has declared a state of emergency, due to the storm. He also issued an executive order banning vehicular traffic after 4 p.m. (2/8/13). Winds are supposed to be gusting as high as 70 mph, and also huge waves during high tide, later on in the day.
Snow, Just The Beginning Of The Storm
It started snowing here in northeastern Mass a few hours ago. The streets are already covered.
