haha... f you no but seriously I did read a paper recently ( Phys.org ) where CC- attribution is causing: bigger temp swings. more frequent severe cold snaps, where the bottoms of the cold are slowly elevating. They pointed out this latter aspect, too - which I found interesting. heat waves are becoming more frequent in the summers, lasting on average a day longer, and maxing out higher. As far as the lows versus high, I'm not sure of any science discipline to back this up so don't shoot me but I thought low temperatures over eastern N/A were where the ballast of our elevating means were coming from? check that -

Easy 15 minute drive for me.

Shut em down and install em.

First 80 the day after the first 70? Pinch me.

Nothing tops January 1996 for me...imagine what depths could have been achieved that season if we had managed wire-to-wire cold like this season...

I wonder if @Typhoon Tiphas any theories as to why we seem to be seeing record maxes fall at a much faster clip than record mins over the past 20-30 years or so...almost as if there were a longer term warming going on of some sort...interesting-

I was gonna say Rensselaer, but close enough.

Nothing to see here

True! Just not ready for the heat!

Good riddance to most of the ugly/dirty snowpiles

I wonder if/when MU will claim another victory? He's on South Beach right now...

same tbh

will we ever live through the third earliest freeze?

i’m pulling for the gfs, just to rain (snow) on doc’s parade.

Toasty

I think if we're done it gets a B or B+. The snowpack was impressive due to the consistent cold and even the cold in absolutes was pretty good at times with highs under 20F several times including the January storm having temps in the single digits with heavy snow. I just don't think it deserves an A when I only got slightly above climo for snowfall. I would take a winter like '02-'03 and '04-'05 over this one just on account of them having significantly more snow but I can see how areas south of me would give it an A since they did so much better in the storm a couple weeks ago. This winter reminded me a lot of 2000-01 but with better results for eastern NE and NYC. Both had a few huge storms without much in between.

Metro was never really in the tornado game

Wachusett is going to try for April 12

I am going to petition the DOT to move I80 40 miles north. Sincerely, Someone who lives 49 miles north of I80. .

Remember when some thought their pack might survive this? LOL

Shut em down

This might be the fastest I've ever seen deep snowpack vaporize. It's right up there with February 2011.
