The cold comes in pretty good after the new year and stays for a while, should give us some good opportunities.

I just looped the entire month of Dec 1989 on reanalysis and it's amazing. The first time the 850 0C line makes it north of MA is 12/31/89 the entire month. Most of the month is spent double digit negatives at 850mb.

Didn't that winter end up not so good? I remember thinking this cold already, going to be a great year and was disappointed.

Another one that would work 

January 11th and 12th are good dates for a snowstorm over the years.

30” storms are exceptionally rare for a single spot but there’s some climo favored areas and then climo disfavored areas. 
 

East slope of the northern Berkshires is prob the most climo-favored area in SNE. Next would prob be N ORH county. Both regions can do really well on deep layer easterly flow events. Next is prob interior SE MA. The one thing those 3 areas have in common is they can often be big QPF maximums in coastal storms. The first two are due to orographics and SE MA can wring out a bit extra due to the frictional low-level convergence of sticking out into the ocean. You’re not far displaced from the moisture source as a bonus. 
 

But I think the 2010s prob set the bar unrealistically high on the expectations of frequency on these storms. It’s still very hard to get…even in the climo favored areas. 

We actually did ok that year, but the Snowicane soured us on the year.

Ain't no way it snows in June

The pack will be so deep the piles won't melt until June. Joking but in 2015 I think there was a pile of snow in Boston that took about that long to melt.

We are more of a Christmas vacation family.  Was on all morning down here.  

I watch that too, it's been on for a week, watched it a couple times, still funny after all these years.

We watched that movie as a family last night. I really never get sick of it.  So good. 

I watch it every Christmas too, they have a new one out with the same characters only older, haven't seen it.

With that in the definition, I don’t think I’ve ever experienced one. 

I can understand if the definition is it has to snow between Christmas Eve and Christmas day but to be the first snow really narrows it down to an almost impossible level.

Does excess salt on the roads from an overzealous DPW count?

Only if its the first salt of the year and was put down between midnight and noon.

He must be working his magic somewhere else.  6th non-Grinch in 27 Decembers, still a pitiful proportion.

The past is the past, only care about now and the future.

Good is pretty far from great in this case.  BOS will probably finish subnormal for the month but not by much.

Great would have been if we all got a foot plus a few days ago but it is still good considering past years.

Portland metro area has been one of the biggest snow holes over the last 10 years. Quite a few systems that missed to the south, making it an even harder pill to swallow. I’d wager southern York county has fared better than Portland metro since the 2015 winter. It’s insane/impressive that Westbrook still has an active snowmobile club 

It has, my sister lives there and is a snow weenie too, I'll be moving up there in the summer once my house is built.

Very little complaints here though. The holidays have been wintry. That’s all that matters in December to me. After Dec 25? Time to produce. Bigly.

Need a two footer or a couple of 10-15 would do too.

Even Ruaaway Berg has 7-8” this month . AN for SW CT

I have about that, maybe an inch more, I feel for those getting hosed, but this is one of the better Decembers and Christmases in a while in my area.

.50” in Brooklyn CT @The 4 Seasons; about 6.5” so far on the season; that’s about half of my totals the last two years. 

I got just about an inch, at least the grounds white and its cold, feels like Christmas.

Nice little burst now but looks to be over soon.

Been a total loss for me.

For you and Scott and a couple others but I was responding to the guy in Hartford where it's been better than in past years.

 Virga so far here in far E CT

It just started coming down decent here and covered the ground.

try as hard as you can to explain how a winter where you lose December can still be great.....it can't.....it could have always been greater.....so shut up

December hasn't been a total loss unless you were expecting a biggie, plenty of time and more likely in Jan and Feb anyway. Its Christmas, its cold, the grounds white and flakes are coming today, nothing wrong with that.

Woodstove has eaten a lot of wood over the past couple days. When it’s colder out, you really gotta keep that internal stove temp up and when it’s that hot inside the stove, the wood almost vaporizes as you put it in, lol. 

2015 I used up 5 cords and started working on the 6th cord.

Yeah, at that age you just let them finish lol.

My mother in law who is 93 has one of those huge clock looking thermometers that's off by about 8 degrees too low and she thinks it accurate. She probably had -10 last night on that thing.

Friend of mine from the other side of my town said -4.0F.  Her house is in a bit of a hole so I’m not surprised. 

Same thing here, I was a low of 2 my brother down at the bottom of the hill was -2.
