Hmm I did say SNOW GONE..... in my question, meaning our general location (I know you).

Don't think snow/salt gone by WOW's.

Since cold is prejected to be around awhile longer, = slow melt, I don't think snow gone 'til ~ 3/26 weekend or following w/e 4/3.
We still will get more, which will just slow it all done.

I only got to drive my car around Carlisle last year then yanked out my trans for rest of year so now fixed, I'm dying to drive it.

Cobra -- not til snowbanks are gone in front of garage, and roads are clear of salt. Maybe mid-April?

GT -- when Todd kicks me out of his garage!

With temps forecasted to be 10-15 degrees below normal ~ next 1 1/2 - 2 weeks, it's gonna be awhile, seeming like forever before spring shows up.

Stop being a grumpy old man about the snow!! I'm in Baltimore right now and the storm that is gong to miss you tomorrow is going to dump 10+" tonight/tomorrow on us. So it looks like we will be staying one extra day instead of flying back Monday.

If you are so missing working/looking at your car, you can feel free to come over to my house and work on my car!!! There is a lot that needs to be down in a few weeks.

I only hate the real cold, didn't mention snow in my last post. After just having knee surgery, squating & kneeling down to work under cars not big for me just yet.
My car is in my trailer can't see. Plenty busy job searching and interviews, several last week, more this week.

In Baltimore, you make house calls now? Who's complaining now?

One of Jen's friend's kids 1st birthday, wooohooo.
I am not complaining, on the contrary, We are getting 6-12" of snow!!! Our flight got cancelled yesterday for tomorrow's flight, and we just got back from the airport and am going to spend one more day here. That's one more day that I am not going to work. Good news all around.
The one thing I must say is that it's raining here still, yet when we were getting to the airport, Jet Blue was announcing that all flights for the night have been cancelled. Does not make sense to me, but this is why I'm not the big guy that plans all the flights.

Spring may not come this year. There is now a good possibility of a "storm" maybe snowy noreaster for areas NW of Boston next week 3/12-3/13 and with temps still running below normal in the near term, the ground is gonna be a mess for awhile.

Will be later than that, if you're gonna take car out beyond own street. the potholes are big & with up/down temps, will get worse for awhile. Never mind winter maybe not done yet.

Yup weather sloooowly going in the right direction, 2 steps forward, one step back. Average daily temps FOR Boston area should be mid 40's, not hitting that enough. Today's 10 day forecast on NECN show below 32 still 1st part of next week with ??? on storm. http://www.necn.com/weather
Everyone is hoping for warmth but slow to come. Boy when it does... potholes need to be fixed. Looking forward to nice warm summer.

I predict weather will make a BIG change and warm right up after World of Wheels weekend.
Then start looking forward to Cruz Nights.

Has the potential to be a big storm, noreaster type. Let's hope it passes us by.

with back to back days in the upper 50's and lower 60's followed by some good rains...I think we'll be in pretty good shape over the next 10 days.

I am also seeing consistent 60's the second half of April. Positive signs
