[Magdalen] East coast storms

[cantor03 at aol.com]

The Pennsylvania Poconos have received some of their
record blizzards in March in the past.  I've lived in this
region 32 years, and during that time frame, the greatest
snowfall on record occurred with 36" in a single 2 day storm
in the early 1990's.  I drove through it without problems
using a 4-wheel drive SUV, only to discover that the local VAMC
had closed - i;e;. was on emergency basis only.  Then it all
rapidly melted secondary to warm temperatures and a couple of
inches of rain.  Naturally my basement flooded.
 
I've also endured this region's coldest recorded temperature
(-24 F) in the late 1980's.  That  event finished off some trees
and shrubs permanently.

It's looking as if we may not dodge the bullet on the next snowstorm March
20 and 21. Six inches or more predicted!
