It’s been the craziest winter ever back home in Massachusetts. Of course, if you followed Weatherbell meteorologist Joe Bastardi’s Saturday summaries as faithfully as I do none of this would have been a surprise. He’s been predicting a historic winter for the Northeast ever since September. Of course, now that the Boston area has been inundated with copious amounts of snow – so much so that they barely know what to do with it – it is what it is. The good news is that Bastardi is predicting a mid-to-late March weather pattern shift that will bring warmer temps to the Northeast (hello flooding!) and wet weather here in the desert Southwest. Everyone here in the Valley of the Sun is hoping for that, of course.

My brother Dave sent me this today – I think it’s the perfect sentiment for my Goodboys mates stuck in “Ice Station Zebra”:

Sorry guys. But Vegas comes in less than three weeks!
