Well, we made it. It’s finally spring and winter is in the rearview mirror! Is it just me, or did it feel like it took a long time to get through March? Since winter recently ended, I feel that it is a good time to review what happened over the course of this winter. Three […]

What happened with the last noreaster?

March 24, 2018March 24, 2018 metblogger

So what happened with the last nor’easter?  We were all saying we would get several inches of snow and it would start Wednesday and get intense that night into Thursday morning.  Well, that clearly did not happen.  So what caused the change?
