The Life From The Roots blog topics have changed several times since I began this blog in 2009. I initially wrote only about the family history I had been working on for 20 years. Years later, I was into visiting gardens, historical homes, churches, libraries that had genealogical collections, historical societies, war memorials, and travel/tourism places. I also enjoy posting autographs and photos of famous people I've met or have seen.

Along with my New England roots, other areas include New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for topics (please note, they need work). Below the labels and pageviews is a listing of my top nine posts, according to Google. Four of them pertain to Lowell, MA. These posts change often because they are based on what people are reading.

Lowell, MA Major Snow Storm, January 27, 2015.

This January 27, 2015 snowstorm / Blizzard was among our largest storms in many years. Because there was a parking ban, many of my pictures were taken while driving in the car (it was legal then). A few later, some were taken from the sidewalk.




Four photos below of Merrimack Street.

The three photos below were taken on Westford Street.

It's amazing that seven years later, almost to the same date, we had another similar storm. These figures are for Boston, not Lowell. In 2015, I believe Lowell had more snow, and less than 23.7 for yesterday in Boston on January 29, 2022.

The Blizzard of 2015

Right now, on January 27, 2015 the storm is still blowing, and I've decided to use this post to share photos, once I am able to get outside to take pictures.

In the meantime, HERE is a link to the Live Storm Cam from the Lowell Sun newspaper located on Dutton Street. As of 9:20, you can't even see across Dutton Street to the parking lot area of the National Park Service. NOTE: The webcam is now turned off. I believe it will be turned on again, for the next major storm, as it was last year.

We have received 33" as of 9:30 pm, and it is still snowing.

These photos were taken January 28th and January 31st. 













Both Central and Merrimack Streets are two-way, and as you can see, there are no cars and no places to park.
