I don't think I'll complain about 20* and some sun!

Boston Gets More Snow, Inches Closer To Record
Talk about gluttons for punishment: Bostonians buried beneath more than 8 feet of snow suddenly are clamoring for a little more so they can boast of a new record.
The 1.6 inches of snow that fell late Tuesday into Wednesday puts the city just a smidgeon over 2 inches away from setting an all-time snowfall mark. So far this winter, it’s gotten 105.5 inches, according to National Weather Service measurements taken at Logan International Airport.
The record is 107.6 inches recorded during the 1995-96 season. Records date to 1872.

I've read accounts of historic storms and gales that occurred before official records were kept by the government, and am just wondering how this winter stacks-up against other years...... We have more snow in the forecast, so the 1995/ 96 record will fall. Just a matter of when......

Don't know how you guys do it up there.....
