You say that like it's a good thing, dragons at least keep the yeti's at bay and they love abominable weather like this.

They apologized?!? I'm owed at least a dozen apologies for snow days that shouldn't have been and vice versa.

At least all the snow will keep the dragons in hibernation for a few more weeks.

Rain on the southcoast. Very disappointing.

Reply to If it’s illegal for landlords to charge application fee in MA, how can we get that back? by [deleted]
It's risky but you can try just shorting your next rent check by that same amount and telling them it's for the illegal application fee. This is 100% bad advice but I have done it (not for application fee though) before

How does snow ruin ice? I’m fascinated by ice fishing. Sometimes I see people and vehicles on that reservoir in Cheshire on days it barely seems cold enough to wear a coat and I go home and look up “ice fishing pickup falling into ice” and, boy oh boy, there are a lot of results

Whoops. Haverhill Public Schools apologized to families for holding school on Tuesday after the city got nine inches of snow, according to a Facebook post from the district.
The school said it was following weather forecasts, which predicted snow wouldn’t start until 1 p.m. It started mid-morning instead.“We called this one wrong, and we are so sorry!” their post reads.
The full story is here on Boston.com, if you're interested. (Non-paywalled.)

I don't want to be insensitive but this is dumb,hiking Mt Washington state forest in a bad bad snow storm (not to be confused with the mountain in New Hampshire)
Mt Washington is a town of 150 odd people on the Connecticut and New York borders in southwest MA.It is very mountainous and remote and is known for Bash Bish falls the states largest waterfall and Mt Everett and large Mt of about 24,25 hundred feet.It is also known for a decent rattlesnake population.
Every year someone gets lost in the White Mountains or on Mt Greylock in a storm and occassionally someone dies or goes missing or a body pops up years later in the Maine wilderness or something.
​
If these people were not able to find a cell signal they would have surely died and I am surprised they found a cell signal in Mt Washington in a blizzard.What possessed them to hike to a remote cabin on a MT in a blizzard.And the State Troopers they put at risk too ,what about them.
Please don't hike in storms,really it's not smart

Lanesboro is coming in at 3 feet. My final foray into cleaning the snow yesterday was around 7 last night. I thought I would see 1-2 inches to clear this morning, boy was I wrong. I could hardy open the door. I haven't seen piles like this for years. The roads at least are pretty well cleared.

Yikes. Makes me think of the post on r/askdocs two days ago about asking if rectal exams normally last 30 mins.
People who take jobs strictly to abuse people are next level predatory and fucked up.

My first thought was "hmm it looks kinda flat for the Alps, good that they're getting some snow too". Then I was confused when I saw what sub I was in

Reply to [3-15-2023] Thanks to all who sent in snow reports. Here's the map based on the reports + estimates from NOHRSC (nohrsc.noaa.gov) by [deleted]
Is that 7.2 inches around what looks like Blue Hills Reservation accurate? If so, that's some crazy local variation.
