This post reminded me of a visit to SXM in 1986 (I think) fought snow to get to island then while eating at a place in P'Burg the restaurant had on what we thought was radio. We heard 18" snow in Boston and another 20 predicted tomorrow. We were happy to be on island and said we wouldn't worry until time to leave, hoping we'd be held in SXM.

Day before leaving we went to b'fast at that restaurant and heard: 18' snow in Boston....20 tomorrow. It wasn't radio but a tape the owner had made.
