A ratter is a winter that Dec. -Feb. is generally bad. A random March April event or two that melts in 6 hours should be factored in.

Not sure about that.12Z euro op does have seasonable cold for the first week though. I'd probably side with avg. through Nov 15th.

I agree, no snark
-
4/1 was virga and 40F, that probably ruined my perception a bit.
-
Where I was in NH, it was a ratter. I honestly forget the specifics for sne Edit, Will to the rescue
-
It wasn't at all.

Snow before Thanksgiving and post- Mar. 1 needs to be put in a correct light if we are judging a winter. It's like saying 96-97 was a real good winter with BOS near 60"? or around there. As we know it was pretty solid ratter through and through, until 4/97 and winter was over.

Fall 2019 New England Banter and Disco

I made the mistake of fighting off a bacterial infection on my own. Four days in bed, until I couldn't take it anymore and wasn't getting better. Bacterial infections have those symptoms. Tiredness, headache, sore throat, night sweats, fever, body stiffness and aches. No throwing up though, which tipped me off. No pun.. If there was something to learn: Probably just need antibiotics and it'll be gone in 72 hours. I won't try sleeping it off again, wasted four days in misery thinking it was a virus. -
That was tongue-in-cheek..heh I've been reading them for at least 20 or 25 years and am somewhat familiar the track records.

expectations drive disappointment. Last winter had few if any signals for anything big. Definitely a ratter for many imo including Boston, marginally.

DT JB wxbell all on-board with a real savage winter, cold and snow..it's a lock
-
96-97 was a ratter too...yet only people remember the non-winter storm rather the ongoing painful ratter. Best snow I saw was pre X-mas in NNE
-
The best snow event was in November. Not much else to say. We're due for a series of ratters and the threat is there
-
I don't remember specifics day to day for that winter, was only 17. I do remember skiing in VT up at Burke (toured Lyndon) and it was mediocre. Drove home to bare ground.

95-96 should be bittersweet to southern areas. It of course featured some incredible late season snows. It also features one of the most memorable meltdowns of all time. Locally interior SE MA, we had a staggering 30-35" pack that was obliterated in a short time. The most since 1978, when the snowpack was around 45" and drifts 10'.

I liked 2010. Remember closing on my house Jan 1st 2010. days of mood snow, totalling around 8"
-
Perhaps, but that Mar.-May was even better. Winters as a whole suck, even warm ones.

That is sad. We had huskies when I was a child. One got off his runner and he was lost for a week. He ended up running from Falmouth MA to Barnstable, around 15 miles I think. The people who caught him said he simply ran out of room to run, and caught him at the beach. -
Near to slightly below avg temps/ slightly above snow is my very early guess, 40 -55", -1 to 0 DJF. BOS

More important is the robustness of squirrels
