I remember xcountry skiing in the arboretum on a deep pack right before the blizzard. I was still a concerned about losing the storm to the south and I was not yet on line so I drove around in lowering overcast to check the weathervanes around town. That was a Sunday and temperatures were in the upper teens mid day. Monday with the storm still raging I got the good news that sleet was mixing in as far north as Braintree but it quickly got beaten back. I had to get to work-a 2 hour T ride ending at government center and me walking the mile to causeway street. This lady was really furious that the T was stopping at government center and was pounding on the driver window. What a melt. Good times!

The expectations were so high but it was muted in the results. So while nearly everyone got 6-12, expecting 18+ essentially ruined it. I also remember an obscene nao which actually brought in North Atlantic puke keeping temperatures in the 40s a few days after Christmas. Once that relaxed some we got in on the January blizzard and surprise aftermath a few days later. Then we had heavy snow to rain and a full melt until the pattern reloaded. But initially we weren’t sure if a reload was coming.

This may be interactive and change daily.

Moderate rain occasionally heavy at Costco in Dedham

I was actually going to mention the late February events-I have a currier and Ives looking picture from 2/28 in my old hood. Unc mentioned 1960-61 and it’s not a bad analogy for 2010-11 but the storms of 1960-61 were bigger and more exciting.

2010-11 had a 7 week winter. The 2nd half of December and January were great but winter died as February rolled.

I know a dog named spotty…

You’re getting very wet

RAP is a gully washer! HRR actually is slow but would appear to bring the goods a bit later.

2 max zones. BOS-PVD roughly and CT River with seemingly a subsidence zone in between

Some interesting stuff coming off the coast of Africa albeit >7 days away. The tendency for better ridging moving forward combined with the baseline La Niña suggests we’re not done. It does look above normal temperature wise over and above recent baseline for the foreseeable future. That’s good for me.

I despise autumn. Please give me summer or winter only! Ugh! to correct the record a few pages back-I left Boston for LA in November 1976 returning July 1991.

Read up a post.

Return of Leon to use Hadley juice to smash the 2 ahead of him? Not my forecast but a boy can dream…

Boston GTG!

ne.weather....remember the fights between that Ziegler character and DT? Those were the days....

All Mike had to do was start this survey 3 months down the road....

Including “I don’t live in New England”

Torch Tiger is old BIrving. He’s probably 40 years younger than he answered. So far Tamarack wins in the oldie department

Long weekend shitty wx streak has been broken

Mid month heat? Gorgeous evening-hosting an outdoor dinner party. Good night for fire pit after dark I think.

Hope it’s reasonably warm and dry Monday and Tuesday evenings. Having 10 for dinner each night and we’re hoping to be outdoors.

The French drain was put to the test and passed with flying colors. Basement bone dry.

Amazingly I didn’t think of this but it’s classic!

So BOS with 4.23 pretty representative of the pike region.
