I'm wondering how those of you north of here fared.
Well, It's a good thing it was a fast mover! It surprised the weather guys and BLEW UP into a massive storm and came about 50 miles closer than predicted, so the net result is that eveyone got about TWICE as much snow!! Tomorrow(saturday)i should be finished(finally)with snow removal from storm Dennis((the menace)).
The problem is that there hasn't been much melting because of all the cold this winter. People that plow are running out of places to put it all.
Connecticut is breaking just about all snow records for the last 105 years. If we finish up with 116 inches, It'll be a Record - Record year.
The interstate highways are cleared, but the state and local roads have many narrow places to go through.
As it stands now, half-way through winter, there are places where the snow piles will last well into april. If we do end up with a Record amount for this winter season, i wouldn't be surprised if some snow piles lasted well into may!! Especially if the cold weather continues.
I give this winter(so far) a
