I think most logical folks on here, including me, would agree that winters back can be broken in mid-late February. Winter just doesn’t feel the same after that period, just as summer does not feel the same from here on out

It’s more meant for this region that the back is broken. It certainly isn’t broken for the central US yet since there can still be consistent 85-90 humid days right through Columbus Day.

Uh yeah, most years especially recently, it does break in Feb. Days start getting noticeably longer, cold air masses are less potent. Doesn’t mean it won’t snow again Feb-April or we won’t have a really cold departure day just like I said we’ll still have warm days and even hot ones 90+, but the peak of it is behind us, like it or not

I’m using that term quite loosely. Summer definitely isn’t over but the step down has commenced and that I see as it’s back being broken. IMO, high summer these days is consistent 85-95 with dews. Before this century, high summer was really 75-85. Times have changed, numbers have changed but yes, 75-80 is still summer, just not prime summer

It certainly seems that summers back is broken after the sun goes down today. There will be some more 90 degree days ahead and more days with >65 dews but the staying power of those are certainly fleeting

Agreed. Regardless of how high it gets, sat-sun do look to be the warmest days in the next 7

Is that still on tap for next weekend? I’ve had upper 70’s-low 80’s at best in the extended forecast for 2 days now

I must have missed that one on the list. I was thinking we were going back to the 1972 Black Hills flood that claimed over 240 lives. The fact that this has happened in 2025 with all the meteorological advancement since the 1970’s is truly astounding and a reason why I think it’ll be one of worst in history

Awful situation down in central Texas. This is gonna end up being the deadliest non-tropical system flood in the US in over 50 years and one of the worst ever in this country’s history.

This has to be recency bias. How have the last 2 winters not been worse than this one?

Yeah Bruins are probably not making the playoffs. If they sneak in it’ll be an early exit

Logan hasn’t had a daily low temp above freezing since 1/2/25. Very consistent cold these first 2 months of the year. That changes this week. Back is certainly broken

The last time KBOS had 3 below normal months for temps during winter before this year was 2013-2014. I think folks are being a bit harsh on the grading but to each his own I guess

This hasn’t been a rough stretch at all. Sure, our fantasy big ones haven’t panned out but I’ve had more snowcover days on the coast this season than the last 3-4 years combined. Piles are huge right now, looks we’ve had a 12”+ storm. Pretty consistent cold too. A rough stretch would be the last 2 winters. This one has not been that despite all the medium range fails.

What a clown. I think the “historic blizzard” aspect is off the table for the DC-BOS crowd
