Looks like my high school GPA by semester.

Data collection for December 2025 is complete, so we can see how it played out via the red trace in the updated snowfall progression plot below. Around mid-month, December had accumulated about 30 inches of snow, but the productive bread and butter pattern from the first half of the month slowed down a bit, and we hit that relative lull you can see after the 15th for about a week. That lull broke for the last week of the month though, which delivered roughly another 20 inches and ensured that December snowfall ultimately wound up above average. This season, the combo of November and December delivered between 70 and 80 inches of snow, which is solid, but still at the end of that +1 S.D. range. The plot nicely shows how the last week of the month allowed 2025-2026 to pull away from 2018-2019 (green trace). It looked like it was making a run for some of those top seasons, but it ultimately fell short of surpassing 2008-2009 (orange trace) and well short of catching 2007-2008 (blue trace). Overall though, this season has certainly had a solid start relative to average as the plot shows.

I just do not buy Phase 6 being cold

Was hoping for a David Bowie gif

Still will be the third biggest snowfall in Methuen this season

The moon angle may hurt accums Saturday night

Even from a mall parking lot

You probably regret 80% of your posts

NWS has temps progged above freezing here next week. Next weekend as of now looking wet, not white. Currently 21F.

Me during the great blizzard of 26 (speak it into existence) .

Here’s the day 10 to 15 AI Euro Ensemble look & snow for the period.

And if you don't like hobbies, set aside 2 weekends during the winter and drive to canaan/deep creek/snowshoe when the conditions are good out there. Getting that "fix" usually helps a lot.

It was spectacular...

@dailylurker your pics are all over my fb via Justin berk.

really starting to regret this post after the last few days

Maybe us snow weenies can build an island nation out there (probably not great more rain than snow)

The Washington Wizards are the dumbest franchise in pro sports ruining their ranking by winning meaningless games

That’s an insane vagrant species! I was just reading about them after you mentioned it, seems like they pop up randomly across the planet lol. I’ve never gotten one that cool - neatest one was a Mountain Bluebird in Harford County (although they are kind of expanding east naturally at this point).

Well I’ve accomplished the goal of staying up here as much as I could so far. It’s been very good to say the least. You know you’re getting acclimated when you’re walking outside in short sleeves in single degree weather. But with the quiet wx coming and work about to pick back up it’s about time to head back home to the subtropics of the CTRV for a bit.

The moonlight is serious

And this goes to show that we weren't just hand out lollipops here. That would be a ridge in the west and a trough in the east. So, if we are wrong...we are in good company.

so it’s shit vs shittier lol

Mammoth Snowfall Rates are expected to hit 3.3 inches per hour tomorrow at noon. They are expecting up to 4 feet with 100mph wind gusts. They had 11 inches overnight into this morning. As long as it's snowing like that there, we're not going to be having much in the way of winter chances.

See-Mour Snow in Methuen than CT....'bout time.
