Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 For the first time in my memory, it looks like we are going to finish a winter with no appreciable snowfall. Now, we did retire to Cape Cod 2 years ago, and the Cape does tend to be a bit more temperate than the mainland, but despite the relocation we usually got at least 2 storms and several lesser accumulations every year. This year, we dusted the driveway a couple of times, but nothing to justify a plow, a snowblower or even a shovel. No salt spread. I'm getting the impression that global warming may actually be a thing. LL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 You can have some of mine! Wind swept back yard and the driveway in front of the house. 12 HP, two augers and an impellor equipped snow blower can't get it any higher! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LL You've just cursed the Northeast, now we are going to get an April snowstorm that dumps a foot or more of snow on us! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 My wife and I were discussing how many sunny and mild days we have had here in West Virginia this winter. As a kid, in my hometown just 25 miles north of us, winters were grey, cold and lots of snow storms. I recall it getting cloudy in October and it staying gray until mid March and into April sometimes. It’s my theory that the world is wobbling on its axis due to the magnetic North Pole shifting these past couple of decades. I don’t have any alphabet groups behind my name so my theory is probably invalid, but that’s my theory. Pretty sure more taxes would help to repair things… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Back in 71-73, I remember taking the shop Land Cruiser out in the snow on the Cape, to rescue customers. Also back then, the Cape was seasonal and after Labor Day, the prices of steaks and lobster dropped back to what the year 'round folks could afford. My... how things change.
