hell no the humidity is MUCH worse than the heat, let's get the wonderful dry heat of a westerly breeze

There's a couple of other ones like that-- look up 2004 and 2014. These are typically very rainy summers, that's the only way to keep the temperatures down here. 1992 had a strong Pinatubo influence. The summers surrounding it were historically hot (both 1991 and 1993). 1994 and 1995 were also very hot. After 1996 and 1997 we had hotter summers again in 1998 and especially 1999. It basically went something like this 1990- moderately hot 1991- historically hot 1992- Pinatubo cooled 1993- historically hot 1994- early historically hot 1995- historically hot 1996- cool but very humid 1997- cool 1998- moderately hot 1999- historically hot 2000- cool 2001- cool 2002- historically hot 2003- cool but very humid (and a big black out on the hottest day) 2004- cool 2005- hot but onshore flow meant no extremely hot days

Are we really going to do this again on Saturday?

Those bastards are annoying and are painful too, My issue is i swell up in the area from any bug bite so i try to avoid all of them if at all possible, Ill be out wearing sleeves today for some protection.

73/43°F, Cobalt blue skies out today.

I think it was Dec 1998. I remember temps were in the 60s the morning of the 22nd, then fell throughout the day. The lows ended up in the 20s, and it snowed the next day. 1998-12-22 64 24 44.0 6.9 21 0 0.05 0.0 0 1998-12-23 27 20 23.5 -13.3 41 0 0.10 1.5 0

Had the first baby deer fly land on me today, I would take 100 swarms of black flies over peak Deer Fly season.

I had a quick hitting 7"er very late xmas eve into early Xmas AM 2017.

I would be ecstatic if the the 12z GFS was correct.

Sort of like December 1966 but a bigger event? 1966-67 a GREAT winter and it went out very snowy and very cold in March too.

Simlar totals, but December 1996 occureed over two successive events in close proximity....Dec 1997 was just one event. The follow up one in Dec 1996 was mainly rain on the coastal plane.

I would love to get a slow moving HECS that breaks out around noon on Xmas eve and rages into Xmas night....been teased a couple of times, but no dice.

I was in the garden yesterday and there was a hatch of black flies out there looking for victims.

Was that similar to the thundersnow event in December 1996? What a book end winter that was between December 1996 and April 1997 lol.

True we had some subzero cold in the early and middle 80s: Christmas 1980, January 1982, December 1983, January 1985. The wheels really fell off the wagon in the late 80s and especially the early 90s. Hell even when it was very cold (December 1989) it didn't snow much.

The only redealming event that I had that season was a couple of days before Xmas....there was an explosive storm on 12/23/97 that produced insane rates and dropped 1-2' around the area. Ayer, MA has 8" in one hour.

74/46. why cant we get this wx on the wknd

1977-78 was another winter that was great for a lot of people.

79 here.

97-98 would have been the worst if it wasn't for that unexpected first day of spring snowfall, although 01-02 was a warmer winter and had the shortest period between first freeze and last freeze I've ever experienced. I had roses blooming until just before New Years and crocuses coming out in the last week of February lol

We had our latest snowfall on record that year too, April 19, 1983 1.5" here.

I had my biggest snowstorm I've ever experienced here in January 2016 (my only 30"+ snowstorm) so I would take it too. Plus some additional bonus snowfalls in February and the latest below zero temperature I've ever experienced (on Valentines Day morning!)
