Early Sunday, March 4th, it was broadcast "The Storm of the Century" with
snow estimates of 24" and blizzard conditions. A winter storm advisory was in effect
from March 4th to 6:00 p.m. March 6th. In preparation, the acting Governor declared a
state of emergency, the school system closed for a day, as did many businesses. The
weather forecasters continued to make predictions.
Our DPW was ready!
Many Boulevard business were ready.
 
 
 
Late Monday, March 5th, it was
apparent that this major storm had missed our area.
March 5th about 10:00 a.m., our
streets were clear.
And there was enough snow for many families to make snowmen.
