We're neck and neck with Buffalo and Erie!

In the annual "Snowglobe" race, Worcester, as of last night's update, is now neck-and-neck with Buffalo, NY and Erie, PA in the race for snowiest city (above 100,000):

We got about three inches overnight here and it started snowing again at about 7 am. To give some perspective, here is the Lodge sign this morning: 

We all keep talking about the snow, but don't underestimate the cold: at 8 am here it is 11 degrees and steady, and there's a fairly constant 1-5 MPH wind. 

The humidity is 69 percent and steady. 

The barometer is 29.91 inches of mercury and steady. 

Hikers note: it may take us a bit longer to get the parking area open after this one, as we are down a snowblower operator.
