<blockquote> <p>On a side note, World News Tonight this evening reported that Salem, MA received 38 in. from this past storm! Good heaven, that must have been fun---NOT!</p> </blockquote>
<br>
<p>We live about 30 minutes from Salem. I measured 37 inches in front of our garage doors on Monday morning. Have another 8 inches so far today.</p>
<p>It's not too bad. Light fluffy snow that wasn't as difficult for the snowblower as some snowstorms. It was cold as heck, though. Temps in the single digits and 40 mph wind gusts.</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestion on silk thermals. It is bitterly cold here in NYC today, 9 degrees fahrenheit, and feels like -6 degrees with the wind chill. If one has to walk...</p>
<p>Alaskan D in Bos is loving the snow. We have very little in Anchorage, it hasn;t snowed here in months. In fact the city has to truck snow to save at a dump site so the streets and trails can be packed later for the Iditarod Sled Dog Race that starts on downtown Anchorage March 5. Global warming is alive and well in Alaska.</p>
<p>But what are the temperatures like in Anchorage, Crabbylady?</p>
<p>I don't know what it is like in Anchorage but in Seattle it has been in the 60's. I guess we picked a good year for our furnace to die!
I better scurry out and wash my car before they intstill water rationing....</p>
<p>After finally going over 30 yesterday, after about a week of single digit nights, we're back to a balmy 17 here in NJ, with single digits expected again tonight. Good you send a few degrees our way, EK?</p>
<p>my son is a jr in Connecticut and hates the weather. we feel it is a little innoculation to help insure a return to California after 4 years. He would agree, and his bro will go east for college next year. good experience, makes you appreciate paradise more.</p>
<p>I woke up to my thermometer on my house this AM that read 22 degrees BELOW zero. The high is supposed to reach 2 degrees with 20-30 degrees below zero windchills. Chilly enough for you guys??? We have had a lot of below zero weather in the past week or so. </p>
<p>One of my kids was skiing every day in this during this time, including today. Gotta love the sport to be on a mountain in that weather (usually colder than here in the valley). </p>
<p>I am heading out the door to another cold place...Syracuse and Ithaca! </p>
<p>You guys in CA sound like a heat wave and so do you NJ folks with the 17 degree weather!

<p>Anchorage typically has a milder ocean influenced climate--rarely below zero. Fairbanks is the cold city in AK.
I was just in Ketchikan AK and it was in the 40's but the rain is endless-150+ inches a year. The flight in will also make you wish you spent more Sundays in church.</p>
<p>Hi! We have temps low teens to highs of mid 30's now, with only 49 in of snowfall this season. The best part is, we are gaining 5 min of daylight a day!</p>
<p>Soozie, I thought about you this morning as I was watching the news and they said it would be -25 in Burlington. D must be getting used to the weather because she how calls 30 degrees a nice day</p>
<p>My D is in bs outside of Boston. We are from Tx, last week she was ready to come home. this week she's handling it a bit better. What I think is even more troubling is the combo of weather and short days.</p>
<p>Prepparent:</p>
<p>Today was in the low 30s and absolutely, gorgeously sunny. The days are getting longer, but I do know that it can be hard to live through February and March. But do tell your D to hang in there. By June, she'll have forgotten the awful weather.</p>
<p>Marite I can only LOL. I sure hope feb is it. she is getting edgy/irritable. I told her that the recomendation to stay away from NH where we were told winters were longer was probably a good idea. She be back in Tx in JUne, LOLOL</p>
<p>Northern California S is now in Boston area. Reported last week that he was having fun sledding. Of course, he's just finding out how long an Eastern winter can be, as opposed to here, where when you've had enough of the snow you just get in your car and go home.</p>
<p>But he'll be fine. </p>
<p>Meanwhile Mom is getting out the knitting needles for face masks.</p>

<p>Marite, I lived through those winters 30 plus years ago and I haven't forgotten them!! (Besides, it tends to go from cold to hot and muggy awful fast back there)</p>
<p>Signed, Inveterate northern California weather freak...</p>
<p>Guess our son is adjusting. He just informed us that instead of coming home for sunshine during spring break, he's going snowboarding with a friend in New England.</p>
