Feeling Good

Good riddance to February 2010 – the snowiest month in the heart of Yankeeland history. That last big storm which left 20.9 inches of snow in Central Park made this February ’10 the snowiest month in New York City’s history.
The city’s total snow for last month was 36.9 inches – which easily beat the previous high of 30.5 inches, set in March 1896. (The National Weather Service has been keeping records since 1869.) It also topped the previous high for the month of February, 27.9 inches, back in 1934.
And, hello to March 2010 – and the start of Spring Training games for the defending World Champion New York Yankees. Man, I can’t remember the last time that turning a page on the calendar felt so good.
Thursday is our first Grapefruit League game, vs. Roy Halladay and the two-time defending NL Champion Phillies. Can’t wait!
Don’t they play the Pirates on Wednesday, on YES?
@ Steve Lombardi:
Do they? If so, I stand corrected.
Feb’s a tough month for the family, I too am glad it’s over.
Sorry to hear that Raf – hope things get better soon.
@ MJ Recanati:
Yep..first game is Wednesday vs PIT. Airing on MLB Network too. DVR is set!
And you call yourself a fan!
Yup – I’m pretty pumped for Wednesday. It will be soooooo nice to see live Yankees baseball again.

You know me, I’m the bandwagon type. Since 1985 or so…
