OK, I give up. What exactly is a “snowacane?”
Here’s a hint. Walk over to the window this afternoon. Look outside.
That’s a snowacane.
Welcome back to the winter of our discontent.
After a brief lull, a thawing with just enough rain and warmer temperatures to melt some of our record snow, we’re about to get hammered with our fourth major snowstorm of the season. Swell, I know.
Acutally it’s another nor’easter sitting off the coast that is going to be dumping snow on the region for the next 24 hours. But the snow actually might not be the biggest problem we face. The snow will actually combine with hellacious winds this afternoon and into tonight.
We could see continuous gusts up to 50 mph. That likely will translate into lots of downed trees, lines and power outages.
It’s the combination of all this heavy, wet snow sitting on branches, accompanied by high winds, that is leaving a bad feeling in the pit of the stomachs of all those good folks at Peco.
Right now we’ve been hit with 73.1 inches of snow this winter. It’s an all-time record. And we’ll add to it today and tomorrow, likely getting perilously close to 80 inches.
Make up the T-Shirts now. I survived the winter of 2009-10. Or, more accurately, the winter of our discontent.
