My poor dog. He isn’t ready for snow flurries. 50 degrees is keeping him under blankets and he needs a sweater to go outside 😂

You guys are asking about the boiler machine Boston Logan International Airport uses to melt all the snow.

I literally only discovered it by noticing the front end loader dumping snow in it and then put two and two together. I did some research, apparently the water goes through strict filtering for oil, sand, other pollutants like de-icer, and eventually goes into Boston Harbor. Super interesting and glad you guys thought so too!

Which would you rather experience? Ice storm in Mississippi, close to two feet of snow in Boston or…Florida :)

Often when I am working, covering weather we don’t sleep. I started editing and writing my latest video (1,500 Miles of Chaos: Boston to Mississippi Snow and Ice
https://youtu.be/j2n5mhpr7vM) at 230 AM. I finally got a little nap but was awoken by frantic phone calls and texts from the Airbnb host that I was parked in the wrong spot and the car was going to be towed. I rushed down and just laughed. There are literally no numbers anywhere. Anyways, so I am up again, did you guys like the video?

Likely the biggest snow in four years is on the table for Boston. Could inch higher. But as you see even one inch is already causing problems. Travel will be close to impossible this evening. If I get some good stuff, will try to have a video for you all to wake up too 🫡

It’s been 1430 days since Boston had just six inches of snow from a storm as of this Sunday when that streak will end. A blockbuster storm finally will hit New England again. What’s crazy is two days ago no one thought this was happening. It’s because of the weather models which have been messed up for a year. I explained in this video:

Hi guys! You know I don’t waste your time posting about just any potential disaster…but this weekend has high end potential for a catastrophic ice storm. Remember last year in KC? This was just a glaze:

Thought NYC had a good shot at its biggest snow storm since 2022…nope, big forecast bust. Sleet mixed in and basically kept the “snow drought” in place. Worse places to waste time in an inch or two of snow though.
