The next five days here in the Piedmont are forecast to be brutally cold. I'm going to have to set up a makeshift heater in our unheated basement so the water line doesn't freeze where it enters the house from underground. (It has frozen before.) We haven't had temperatures here this low since 2004. This winter seems like it will never end. But, we haven't had much snow. As you said in the comments in a previous post, the folks in Boston don't know what to do with all their snow. During very heavy snows in Philadelphia, they load the snow into trucks and dump it into the Schuylkill River.
That sounds brutally cold, Scott. Don't envy you. I saw a report where Boston was considering dumping snow into the ocean, and an environmentalist was explaining how it needed to be dumped into deep water rather than shallow because of potential problems caused by the tides. Also, the environmental guy was talking about how dirty urban snow is, but admitting there wasn't much else they could do with the snow but put it into the ocean. What a headache.
I feel fortunate to live in the desert.
