It was puking at Newton Athletic Park, but yeah struggling to accumulate. Enough to postpone my reffing game at least :clap: Was absolutely miserable up until then though.

Looks like things get chilly again starting on Saturday until the end of the run. Too bad about the North shore snowpack but the interior mountains/Manning should still be good to go :thumbup:

Yay! We are now more than halfway through the worst month of the year.
It's called clown range for a reason.

When is this historical AR event starting? It’s hardly rained here today. Not much last night either. Some people’s snow totals probably beat their rain digits so far :shock:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

This snow storm got us out an F score. Worst winter ever for snow here, but this was a pretty awesome.

Just think, on Friday it will be 109F where I'll be! In Arizona. Record setting US March temperature and I will be there. Death Valley will only be like 106F.
