After Valentine's Day, they didn't have a ruler long enough to measure the snow atop the Great Blue Hill

According to this link, Mt. Washington had a higher gust a few years earlier.

However, friends in FL think that Hurricane Andrew claim that they got 300+ mph. But I don't pay attention to them, they're always lying about how great the weather is down there.

This is a great article about special place, and I thank BU Today for writing it and Adam for linking to it (or I would have missed it).

The reference to the Blue Hill wind gust being the highest ever recorded in the US is a glaring error though - particularly in view of the fact that the article mentions Mount Washington in close proximity.

There aren't any homes in Blue Hills because the lava flows wiped them out.

Opened up the Cape Cod tunnel to all traffic, not just the permit/sticker holders.

As someone who very much enjoyed all that snow for skiing in our little Blue Hills last year, I hope it happens again (except this year I hope it all falls exclusively on the hill).
