I'm starting to wonder if I can fall short of last winter through month end. On its face it would seem a near impossible task, and yet this month feels like it wants to find a way.
Born in '84. The only snow memory I have from that decade was a Thanksgiving dump...thinking '88 or '89? That and the Hamden tornado are the only weather memories I have from those formative years. Vague memories of Dec '91 and then March '93 was the first time my weather memory became crystal clear.
2011-12 was at least mercifully obliging in that regard. 70s and low 80s in early March, replete with budding trees and girls in sun dresses on the Common, really did much to dispel the macabre sensibility of that winter.
It is what it is. I average <30" down here, so most seasons blow. We tend not to get lucky breaks in a mediocre pattern, and certainly not in a hostile one. Them's the breaks on the southern coast.
