A snowfall, a foot or so, fell on January 26th (it clobbered Boston and New England, with multiple feet,) The temperature dropped into the teens a lower and stayed there, so the snow went nowhere. A number of snowfalls followed; none were major, but they all hung around, and hung around, and it stayed cold and gray and dirty and frozen for weeks. One last drop, but then winter relented. On March 7th, the ice pack began to relinquish its miserable hold.
