Boston Snow Depth



OK I know, everyone is talking about our seemingly unending snowstorms and sometimes it does feel like that. But what else is there to talk about? Politics? So far, we've chipped ice from a couple of window sills, but the really worrisome thing are the gigantic icicles forming through the soffets outside which pushes water into the roof. We have a foot and a half of snow on the roof with about 2-3 inches of ice underneath; ice dams. There are various solutions, none of which are cheap or guarantee that another ice dam will not form. Another storm is coming Wednesday. I'll update Shaq's photo when we get there. Florida is looking really good to me right now. Or Tahiti. New Zealand. Crashing waves, warm sand, a good read and laughter will fill my dreams tonight.



This is no April Fool's joke. As of April 1st 2011 our snow depth hit 80.1 inches. Shaq still reigns supreme as taller than the snow depth. At least we didn't have a repeat of the April Fool's blizzard of 1996 where we were hit by 25 inches of snow in 24 hours! Let's hope this is it for the season. Welcome Spring!
