40/70 Benchmark

It sucked because it ruined a great pack right before xmas, and led into a month of watching paint dry, but there was not most seasons have at least one torch...at least at my latitude.

I don't mean March...February "let up"...

One.....early season...very short.

Congrats.

Yea, your season picked up when our season let up. I remember the exact moment that it let up, too. I was on a computer in the UML library on south campus when I realized that the forecast 6-10" wasn't happening, and the rain started falling. That must be when things got better for you hahaha

I'll probably be checking out soon, at least until cane season ramps up.

This has been one of the more mundane winters that I can recall....and by "mundane", I do not mean a dearth of snow, before Steve bites my head off with a NB assault. Just a complete lack of anomalies in my area.....normal snow, no punishing arctic shots, and no real torches. Just a meteorological flat line of a stretch....yes, I know south of the pike had a NB snowfall season...I don't need to see the pics of the dogs frolicking in snow banks. I get it. The sole noteworthy event of this winter for me was the Feb 1 snow event...and by not noteworthy, I also mean that it was not bad, either. It was warm in the means, but mainly because of high mins at night.

I'll take that over March 2006, 2014 or 2015. Nothing irritates me more than a month of September sun amidst a slew of January air masses with little snowfall to show for it.

Not sure why the big campaign advertising it that off season, then. I remember Mitchell, too....all 300lbs of him, at that point. Sox in the 80's and 90's loved signing FA stars after rigor mortis had already set in. Jack Clark, Otis Nixon, Andrew Dawson, Frankie Viola, Rob Deer, Nick Esasky, Canseco and Mitchell, etc. Usually sluggers....

Feb 2005, like 1996, was kind of a let down, though probably still managed above normal snow. December and April is what separated 1996 from 2005.

I remember that....to be honest, its too bad that whole season wasn't snowed out. There was all of this hype after they had signed Canseco's juice laden corpse coming off of the surprise AL East crown in 1995....."Think pitchers will pitch around Mo (Vaughn) this year....NO WAY, JOSE". Then they proceeded to get off to like a 6-20 start, as Canseco clutched for his back with each swing and miss, and the rest was unfortunate history. Concluded as we watched Boggs' fake hair rustle in the wind, as rode he a horse in celebration of the start of a dynasty in the Bronx-

I don't think so....it depicts a major snow storm in the northeast, regardless of whether that particular OP rendition snows on I 95 or not.

He has had a banner of a season....best winter forecast that I have seen this year.

Great AFD.

Agree.

That period from around Thanksgiving through mid January was about as solid as you will ever get that time of year....uninterrupted cold and snow. The big thaw at the end of it sucked, yes.

1995-1996 remains number one IMBY because it was more equally distributed throughout the season....as epic as that 45 day period was, punting through mid January and then all of March was fatal in that regard. I would still take the epic 45 days over the record, though.

Yea, I was just saying that.

March 2015 was serviceable south of the pike, but for us, it was just a slow rot out of an epic pack. I was convinced by mid Feb that I would overtake 1996 for my snowiest ever, but March cost me that record...fell about a foot shy. Boston got it.

I agree.

I mean, it doesn't look great, but I don't expect March 2012, either.

I think we will probably end up with one more plowable event.

Last two pages is talk of six years ago...sums up the state of March 2021. lol

Trick to say that, though......extrapolating like that can be tricky. I see what you are saying...

In other news, the sun is getting stronger.
