  1. Snow storms/events: B We had 4 plowable/significant snowfalls (Jan 7, Jan 29 (blizzard), Feb 13, Feb 25). November had 1 small event right after Thanksgiving, brought 1 inch and needed sanding. December had 2 small event around Christmas that needed sanding. March had 3 inches on Mar 9th, was was a quick plow. Amounts on Jan 7/Feb 13 overperformed. Snow vs Rain: D- While there was the 4 heavy snowstorms I mentioned above, we also had heavy rain on Jan 17th, Feb 4th, Feb 18th, Feb 22nd. Plus there was rain at the end of the Feb 25th storm. Snowdepth retention: F-/G/H Only going to list the 4 significant snowfalls here: Jan 7th, (14 inch) was down to 4 inch by Jan 9th mild wet day here, then down to 2 inch Jan 13th with more mild weather. Entirely gone by Jan 17th. Jan 29th (blizzard, 25 inch), was down to 2 inch by Feb 5th, with numerous ice puddles in the snow, which lasted for another week before drying out completely. Blizzard snow was all but mounds 6 days later. Feb 13 (8 inch). was down to patches on Feb 17th with mild air on Feb 16 and 17th. Feb 25 (8 inch), was down to patches on Mar 6. This one had the best retention, but still was not impressive Overall season snowfall: B Winter enjoyment: D Depends on what you call "enjoyment". If you like watching huge snowstorms and then rapid melt away of these snowstorms, this was the winter for you. Otherwise, for enjoyment of the snow, it was only for a couple of days really. There was some ice nearby, however it was thin and was not safe for any person to walk on it without falling. Temperature: C Flipping back and forth between mild and balmy, and bone chilling cold. Overall grade: B, plenty of annoying snow events that occured frequently throughout the winter, and cold penetration at times was noticable, however warm rain also blended in and ruined any significant depth the snow could have. (would of been a C- had it not of been the blizzard, the blizzard brings it up 1 letter grade)
  2. December: D- (couple small annoying pity amounts and icy/rain mix around Christmas saves this month from a F) January: B+ (two big storms, mix of warm/cold around. Overall: C, with possible adjustment to as low as D or as high as A- (the A- would need to have a huge wintry weather in mid/late Feb-March). (the D would need a mild month of February and March with no or very little snow). A mixed bag, so far.
  3. Busted on my personal forecast I had, however for those without power/getting flooding rains/having tree downs, I hope the best with a speedy recovery. I'd like to see what effects the diminishing overnight, swing to the east will do in Eastern MA, on the back side of the storm, although cleanup should be very manageable. I would imagine most of the damage (at least the major damage) is cleaned up by Tuesday afternoon for the most part.
  4. Doubt it. If it heads more eastward than what I am projecting it to hit (I am projecting a Newport RI vicinity landfall, at about 70-75 mph sustained winds), I would think the heavier rain would replace the heavier winds in Massachusetts/Rhode Island.
  5. I don't. I think 75-80 would be the top. My guess would be Newport/Fall River/New Bedford. Numerous 50-60-70 mph gusts all over RI/Eastern MA.
  6. I would guess 3-4 inches of rain here and guests to 60-65 for most of Eastern MA.
  7. Longtime lurker, first time poster here. I've been pretty right for the most part of my summer 2021 predictions. Too bad I didn't post this around memorial day. These predictions are based for the Boston-area specifically, which can vary a bit in different parts of New England. Accurately predicted June would be "warm to somewhat hot and rather humid" on most days during the month, which it was. Thought June would be close to normal or slightly less than normal for precipitation which it was in most locations. Predicted July to have some seasonably warm weather on a few days which did happen, I also predicted cool weather to prevail for a good portion of the month as well, which indeed happened. For the 4th of July, I thought it would be off/on showers/thunderstorms, which happened a bit more intense than I thought. I also predicted that July would have double to triple the normal precipitation with heavy thunderstorms/showers on numerous days, and the flooding in the Boston/Worcester area just tells you how I was on that. For August, I predicted for hot to very hot at times, especially the week of August 9th-13th, which would have temperatures reach over 100 degrees in a few locations, particularly outside of 128 in the Boston area, the Hartford/Springfield area also think could approach 100 degrees as well. (think a seabreeze would ruin the 100 degree chance for coastline areas), also predicted more hot weather (low-mid 90s) would happen later in August as well. So far, I feel pretty good about this prediction. Predicted August to dry out after the wet July, however showers and thunderstorms that pop-up would keep precipitation close to normal, we'll see if it happens. I think it will be less than July in most locations, especially the areas that got the flooding. My early Labor Day prediction, 50/50 sun/cloud mix and 80s.
