Comment on: Windy with rain and snow into the evening - Weather Wisdom - Boston.com
My rule of thumb is that we aren't really safe from a substantial snowstorm at sea level until about April 7th. And the latest I've seen snow accumulate to briefly whiten the ground is May 18th. Win more »

Comment on: Cold March to continue with another storm - Weather Wisdom - Boston.com
I checked the records for Durham, NH, which go back to 1893 for the coldest highs for Mar 16 and 17. Prior to 1980 there were 17-20 days on each date that where the high was 35 or colder. Hasn't hap more »

Comment on: Snow at various intensities tonight, coastal flooding for morning - Weather Wisdom - Boston.com
I don't understand why we are getting this sudden burst of snow bands with the storm center so far out to sea to the southeast -- unless it is an example of a Norlen trough that everyone talked about more »

Comment on: Wind and beach erosion, not snow the big concern - Weather Wisdom - Boston.com
How far does global warming have to progress before we are not subject to the kind of weather of the last month in winters? By 2030? By 2050 for sure? Of course we would pay for it with hotter summe more »

Comment on: After the rain, a little snow to cap off weekend in Boston - Boston.com
The duration of this storm is unbelievable. At about 4 p.m. it looked on radar like the storm was gradually spinning away and we were getting near the back edge of precip. Now, 5 hours later, there more »

Comment on: Snow ending around midnight - Weather Wisdom - Boston.com

Comment on: Goodell paid more than $29 million by NFL in 2011 - Business - Boston.com

Comment on: Shoppers steer away from Shawâs - Business - Boston.com
I made this discovery about Shaw's some 8 years ago. What I don't understand is why Cerberus Capital is putting up $3.3 billion for the chain. Shaw's needs a lot of investment in the stores, to cut more »

Comment on: What happened to the snow? - Weather Wisdom - Boston.com
I'm fascinated by the term "Norlun trough" as a weather meme, especially since it evidently goes back to 1993. I'm a long-time New England weather watcher and consume a lot of online information, but more »

Comment on: 'Quick Response Codes provide lots of information - if you know what they are'
How do they know the demographics of scanners? If a survey were done, how do you get the identify of those to survey? I'd think non-response for that type of survey would be huge. And those numbers ar more »
