Ehh, not in December as a whole the past 15 years. This was the first December in awhile where snow machine trails were open in NH. If summer hasn't hit it's groove by June 30 in SNE....we are in trouble my friend.

Yep. Tough to call it a good winter when the days are getting longer and you haven't got shit. The older I get the more I'm a seasons in seasons guy. As far as usefulness, a winter of nickel and dimes and consistent cold from mid December to early Morch is much more useful than getting one or 2 HECS in early March. The kiddos can play pond hockey and sled, adults can x-country ski, Wachusett and Blue Hills can get good business. The one complaint I hear in my circles is that all we get is "useless weather" in winter now.

Seems abnormal to get 4 days of 50s this time of year, even compared to the last five fart winters. A day of two max, but my little pack is gone, and frost and pond ice will basically have to start anew.

Well Ice#s is right about Ice storm season coming to a close soon. Once you get past Tanuary 7 or so it gets tough. Usually I get a decent glazer in December. Not this year.

But what can really go wrong with a mercury thermometer? If anything I feel the Mercury gets stuck and it reads too high.

Yup, about the same here. Well, my cheap weather station said -1, car said 0. Still looks like Notown Res had some open water on the way in to work this morning, although it's much reduced. Should be some pretty good pond skating for the local kids Christmas morning, like you see on the Hallmark Channel.

Per the list, the coldest temperature in Massachusetts was recorded in the small towns of Chester, Coldbrook, and Taunton. The temperature in all three towns reached a state record low of -35 degrees in 1981, 1943, and 1904. Taunton? Must have been a fakiator situation

Not getting any snow before Christmas is kinda like not getting any heat or thunderstorms before July 4th. Wasted half the season in both cases.

Mudmobiling even from Magalloway to The County

Can someone blast one down yet with a rifle? Geez enough already.

The only cold we get now is on the back side of storms for a couple days. Gone are the days where you get a month of cold temps because of the actual pattern.

Ehh, it always looks good in the long range, and we always bite.

Pack and pond ice has been wiped as well. Overall a terrible event.

Not anything notable. Probably be better with the CAA.

Sure does. What a fuddy duddy. Was actually getting excited cuz I'm at elevation. In leominster it was 40 but up here 10 miles west it's 55. Wild.

Just got excitingly windy here in KBED. Trees swaying bigly.

You sure? Didn't you know you're in the Special Wind Zone in New England?!?! Or so they say. https://web.wpi.edu/Images/CMS/VF/Extreme_Wind_Region_NY_5.pdf

God we hope and pray. Basically on the anniversary of the bigun 16 years ago.

Saw evidence of ice fishing on Paradise Pond in LSF yesterday. Could have been the only chance of the season if the LR is correct.

Yeah I was in Sutton today too, was surprised at the cover. More than anywhere along 190.

We basically have 2 seasons now. Perpetual fall/winter/spring, and then summer.

Winds really underperforming

Those snow squeals seem to be fading a bit as they head east. Bummer.

50 mph gusts later. @ineedsnoware we going to tear 'em down after sunset?
