You will have to wait to get your car out of that frozen ice; however, the water damage to wires and electrical equipment might make that car a total loss.

SGT Philip Roncari - Mine is the exact opposite, Stevie wants to move to a south-eastern State and I love NH....You just have to have the equipment to deal with weather. However, there is something to be said of never having to winterize your boat because your using it year round!

Alan K-thankfully since retiring I don't have to deal with winters as I did when I worked outside ,so that's a benefit of being an old fart I guess,but I still can dream of walking some warm water beach someday!

I grew up in Boston and have seen similar things over the years, It's not that bad (unless you were parked underground!)....Now everything is a disaster. The Blizzard of '78 was really something, I saw things that I had to actually wrap my head around before I could believe it! I lived in Gloucester when the Blizzard hit in Feb of 1978. Boulders the size of trucks strewn all over the coastal roads, Boats 2 street back from the water, In Rockport An Olds 98 stuck nose first into the ground and frozen straight up like a painting on the wall.....!This was a Nor'Easter, a 6 on the scale of some I have been through. The chairs will be out in Southie for sure....!

Alan K - I am a Dorchester boy but have lived in the burbs since the 70s every time that I drive through seems like townies are a vanishing breed,having worked for the Edison and worked all of the storms you posted brings back memories so thanks for the memories.

Jimmy hook's, the only place to burn down sitting on a dock almost impossible to get a fire going on...??????? Why the got rid of Jimmy's H and replaced it with Legals I will never know! When I am in town I get lunch at Lambert's and go over to the Island to eat and watch the joggers going around and count planes too...!
