RGEM is well known and doesn't look like the others, but GEFS, GEPS and EPS all look very similar to me, especially GEPS and EPS. I am going to start calling it the CEPS from now on, for obvious reasons.
But why do their names look so similar? They should change the names so their acronyms dont look alike. GEPS should be changed to CEPS. and GEFS should be changed to AEFS.
Right I dont go by the artificial DJF boundary either but by the entire season.
I do think 01-02 was a more historic winter than 72-73 though because it was warmer.
97/98 finished wirh 5.5 though, the DJF is an artificial boundary created by humans, we should go with the overall season numbers
It's why 01-02 was the historically bad winter here not 97-98
1717 - What was perhaps the greatest snow in New England history commenced on this date. During a ten day period a series of four snowstorms dumped three feet of snow upon Boston, and the city was snowbound for two weeks. Up to six feet of snow was reported farther to the north, and drifts covered many one story homes. (David Ludlum)
This was the greatest snowstorm in the recorded history of the northeast-- any idea how much we got down here?
That it was shockingly warm on this date in 1997, and at the beginning of April we (almost) got a big snowstorm!
4 inch snowstorms can and have occured right through the first third of April.
Check out March-April 1996 and March-April 2018
3 4 inchers in March 1996 and 1 4 incher in April 1996 (JFK)
and we had multiple 4 inchers in March 2018 including one 8 incher and 1 in April 2018 that was a 6 incher
Yup I don't care about double digit snowstorms this time of year but if we can get multiple 4-6 or even 4-8 inchers that would be awesome, that's what 1996 and 2018 were all about. One 8 incher and two 4 inchers would be just about perfect.
