Now it finally looks like winter again, after all the unseasonably warm weather we’ve had since mid-January. I measured 14 1/2 inches in our front yard in Newton, only half as much as New York City got.
The news was saying that this snowfall had surpassed the 1947 snow in New York. I remember waist-deep snow when I was a toddler in New York. That must have been a couple of days after the storm, because anything close to the 29 inches they got would have been way more than waist deep on me at the time.
This was a good deep snow, but so light and fluffy that it was a breeze to shovel and brush off cars. I wouldn’t rate it as a monumental storm, at least not here, by any means.
