    we're using that fictitious 30 year average Chris, in reality it was a slightly milder than normal December, so JFK portrays it best, close to 1 degree above normal in actuality
  2. LibertyBell
    it was better than any fireworks display!!
  3. LibertyBell
    you had hail too, we all did
  4. LibertyBell
    I guess it was hail, it didn't even completely melt here yet, there's small powdery crystal stuff outside and it can't be sleet
  5. LibertyBell
    I don't think that was hail was it? Just really heavy rain with lots of lightning and thunder! That was a spring storm for us! I'd love to see something like this during the day.
  6. LibertyBell
    Is that the confluence causing the snow to dry up before it reaches the coast? Cant be changeover issues lol.

    the only above normal snowfall winter during the 80s was 82-83 and it wasn't even above normal but more like near normal because of the big blizzard. 30 inches plus is required for above normal snowfall and that never happened between 1977-78 and 1993-94
  8. LibertyBell
    February 1983 was more memorable than any storm since February 1978 and until January 1996
  9. LibertyBell
    that's probably why those kind of winters usually have average snowfall seasons. 1993-94 and 2013-14 were different because there were just so many storms lol. No 20"+ blockbusters but lots of moderate and a few major events too and many snow to ice scenarios.

    The greatest and longest duration snow cover I've ever seen! My backyard had so much snow that it looked like the snow was up to my windows! You rarely if ever see that around here on the south shore.

    a lot of our greatest arctic outbreaks were like this here's the below 0 ones I remember: January 1977, January 1979, Christmas 1980, January 1982, January 1984, January 1985, January 1994, February 2016 Notice how their return times have become much longer.... They became much more rare after 1985 and especially after 1994....... 1993-94 had MUCH more snow than ANY of the others (and lots of ice too!) 2015-16 had our greatest and only 30"+ snowstorm here.

    1995-96 and 2010-11 had major ones on both sides. 8-14 in December 1995 , 20-32 in January 1996 18-30 in December 2010, 15-20 in January 2011
  13. LibertyBell
    Has it ever happened both on the front and the back side? Maybe in 1995-96 and 2010-11?
  14. LibertyBell
    I wonder if we've already seen the greatest negative departures of the winter when the high was in the low 20s and lows in the low teens in December?
  15. LibertyBell
    How similar is this to what happened in January 1977 ?
  16. LibertyBell
    You can have snow even in a warm February-- see February 2018, that Valentine's Day/Night snow was memorable.
  17. LibertyBell
    See December 1989 for cold and dry (and that was a real cold December, unlike this one.)
  18. LibertyBell
    what storm is this?
  19. LibertyBell
    If we transported any of these 18th and early 19th century scientists to the present, they would undoubtedly be amazed by the climatic changes that have occurred in that interval. You don't have to go that far back! The climate has changed A GREAT DEAL and orders of magnitude between the 70s/80s and 10s/20s !!
  20. LibertyBell
    Is it because humanity has kick started the Anthropocene ??
  21. LibertyBell
    Chris are the SST still around 50? The Polar Bear Club won't be shivering this year! Record high New Years SST !!
  22. LibertyBell
    almost sounds like a hybrid subtropical system.
  23. LibertyBell
    there were a few winters like that in the 80s. No above average snowfall winters and definitely no HECS after February 1983 but a lot of moderate or smaller snowfalls that nickled and dimed us to just below average snowfall winters. I bet a lot of people would be happy with a 20-25 inch snowfall winter with the maximum snowfall in any one storm being 4-6 inches.
  24. LibertyBell
    two decades.... meaning going back to the 2003-04 winter? They probably mean for January..... as I don't believe this will be as cold as February 2015 was.
  25. LibertyBell
    hmm I really thought today would be warmer than yesterday
