if the storm goes up to Maine/the Canadian border, turns around, comes back down and wallops all of us, THAT's a Nor'easter.

we are at 20 degrees above normal and a drought watch has been issued. It will get worst.



Not looking forwards to summer, not when you are thinking of running the AC in February!!!

He lives in Manhattan. It's pouring now but will turn to snow tonight. He says it's such a mess and the snow piles are so big they probably won't entirely melt until April.

I told him he should move back to CA.
