That Rain is Cold

Cold rain is the my least favorite type of weather. Really my only least favorite of anything when it comes to weather. If it is cold, I would rather it snow. Cold rain is heavier and gets me more wet and cold. And a more wet and cold Greg is a grumpy Greg. And a grumpy Greg is a Greg that is prone to complaining and also prone to referring to himself in the third person.

Anyways. While we were getting soaked here in eastern Mass, some of us were getting a hefty snowstorm. As I said yesterday, elevation was the key. Over 1000 ft, you win and your prize is 32 degree weather. Look at some of the totals:

Ashfield, MA 22 in
Plainfield, MA 20 in
Townsend, Ma 14 in
Gardner, MA 16 in
Fitchburg, MA 15 in
Worcester, MA 11 in

So basically 40 miles west and 1000 ft up from Boston, this storm was a pretty good sized snow storm. Not for us coastal folk though. I do love the snow, but I still wouldn't live in Plainfield.

The rain should taper off as the night goes on and then get ready for round 2 tomorrow afternoon. This next storm is pretty unique. We will see all rain again, but the track of the storm and its eventual demise is very unlike any storms we usually see around here.

More on that later.....
