I think NNE is already having a good winter with snow in the pipeline as we speak. The jury obviously is still out on sne but the natural progression suggests sne gets it next. Bluewave is good but keep in mind his focus isn’t New England.

While I agree it will be mild in general there will be a few cold stabs over the next 10 days so there will be opportunities if we time something. I think sometime between 12-10-20 we see the more wintry look. BOS climo max drops below 40 in that period as well.

Ray, Clarkes is moved to the 20th.

I hope you can make it!

Yeah I forgot my several inches beginning on my birthday…lol. I guess I blotted out that winter which started with so much promise and dudded.

Some years it did. Most years it didn’t. I was also affected by impressions because growing up in the 50s in NNJ we had a string of years where we got decent snow in the first week of December. Then we went 15-20 years without, then a string with,etc. the early 2000s were good. The 20s have been bad. Even the big dump of 2020 came in the 2nd half of the month.

Today is December 2nd. Normals highs for selected locations north to south: CAR: 33 BTV: 40 BGR: 40 AUG: 40 CON: 42 PWM: 43 MHT: 44 BOS: 46 ORH: 42 BDL: 45 PVD: 48 SNEers-your expectations are out of whack.

It's true that everyone used to not worry too much but Covid often puts you down for a week-who needs it? Also, everything has changed. I was going to my friend's house to watch football last Sunday and when I called him, he sounded sick. I asked him and he said he had a cold but is covid negative. I told him great on that but I don't want a cold. So I canceled because who wants to feel like crap? Maybe we're all getting soft but I like feeling good.

Interesting and odd combo. Better would be pizza with that beer?

Bummer!

Big 4 finals for November 2023: BOS: -1.7 ORH: -1.4* BDL: -2.0 PVD: -3.1*

Heads up-Clarke's moved to 12/20 to accommodate Bruins/Celtics schedule and ability to find a parking space.

Heads up guys-moved to 12/20 to better accommodate parking with neither Bruins nor Celtics playing in town that night.

Great memories Steve! I think we had another one at Funky’s a month later and I was worried about the futility record. Will predicted a total for Logan of 53 inches. End result was more than double that.

Whenever I think of Tewksbury I am reminded of the commercials during Bruins games in the 70s. “Hi this is Jim Pierce of Jim Pierce Ford World in Tewksbury”. He pronounced it as Tewkshbury.

Where are you looking? I imagine you’ll lock in a nice profit on your house given the market and years in that location.

Yeah that was the 84 hour NAM perusal. I’m amazed at how much younger and thinner I looked 6 years ago!

I believe the scientific method disagrees with your reasoning. Perhaps 100 years from now we’ll have better data but I’m not counting on being here to find out.

FYP

The big question is whether or not there's a game at the Garden that night. There is a Bruins game on the 19th. I've found spots on Canal Street but more likely in places like New Chardon Street which is about a 5-10 minute walk to Clarke's.

Getting back to sample size. Bluewave, sample size of 7 is simply not scientifically valid. This is one of the reasons seasonal forecasts often are unreliable. Let's take the case of medical research. Accepted treatment modalities are formed from huge studies involving many locations often with sample sizes in the tens of thousands or higher. So one can speculate based on an n of 7 but if it busts it doesn't mean that bust is an outlier. We have a limited number of years where we have drilled down this far in data.

Ya just gotta cope when the pope says nope.

Amazing bravery and valor!

A below normal November is sealed it would seem. Through 11/27: BOS: -1.4 BDL: -1.9 PVD: -2.8* ORH: -1.0*

Then it’s Uber from my house or walk from Coolidge Corner.
