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!)

That’s what came through here. 0.14” The basement was starting to get dry so it was appreciated.

81 here now

Clouds from yesterday's little band of showers stopped yesterday morning's coolness at 41. Cloud free so far today, skeeters, one horsefly-sized critter and ticks where I was picking up the fallen red maple that had blocked (then was cut from) the club trail thru our woodlot. The wood was about 100 feet, nearly half wet/mushy and the rest a rock garden, from the unmaintained but drivable road. A challenge for the aching knees - left one gets fixed (replacement) on 6/23.

One of the winters was warm, one average to mild, three cold. For snowfall One was well below average , three around average, one historic. lets see if those years show up again in a different manner

Finally starting to feel like Summer today. May was just an awful month around here... cool temps with nearly 6" of rain. CLE finished May -3.3 with 5.30" of rain.

36F to 75F so far. Top 10’er. Hell, top 3’er this season.

I had about normal snowfall in 82-83, in large part thanks to the Megalopolis system.

82-83 was 34.6" here, one of the better one's in the 80's. 97-98 is the 2nd worst snow winter of my lifetime with 5.5" Only 01-02 with 4" has been worse.

@weatherwiz

Couldn’t see across the lake on my commute this morning. Conditions are improving already thank goodness.

82-83 and 97-98 are what I think of when I think of a very strong El Niño winter in the Midwest. I actually had quite a bit of wet 32F snow in 15-16, it just always started melting shortly after it fell. 15-16 was missing the “dry” part of a strong Nino around here.
