    What good is average snowfall if it all just melts away? My 6 inches I got from the early Jan storm just melted away a few days later. I care about things like snowpack and winter feeling like winter (cold temps) just as much as the total seasonal snowfall. I would go as far as saying I prefer a 40 inch snowfall winter with -3 avg max temp than a 50 inch snowfall winter with +2 avg max temp.

    It can still feel like winter if it's +2°..it depends on how it's distributed throughout the winter. Like if you get 20 days of AOB normal temps with good snow events thrown in..but the last 10 days of a month torch to get you to +2°..who cares

    Or if nighttime lows are the reason you're +°2..but days run near normal. I just think you're dying on a weird hill.

    The biggest issue with the prospects of this becoming an acceptable winter isn’t the snow, it’s the temps. I do not think it’s unrealistic that we get lucky and get a big storm in Feb or Mar to bring the snowfall totals near the coast to slightly below average or average, but let’s say exactly that happens and we get average temps the rest of the winter in Boston. Even if Boston gets the average temp snowy 2nd half it’s looking for (let’s say 35 inches of snow in Feb-Mar with normal temps), that would bring Boston to climo for snowfall, but the average max temp would be +2. That is still quite a bad winter. 

    Meh...Who cares if it's +2° if you're getting normal to above normal snowfall. I guarantee you're on a very small island with that take.

    The 1/7 storm a few weeks ago wasn’t a warning event for you there?  I know it snowed at the end for you guys there…but it didn’t reach warning criteria?  
     

    We managed to squeak out a warning here in that one. 

    I think Taunton had 4 or 5, so advisory.

    Ha, way to go euro!  I just glanced quickly at the 24 hr increments on TT.  Awesome storm with no cold air, lol.

    Yeah it's way west, but I'd rather see some wide goal posts at this range than all runs having it over New Brunswick.

    It's also the OP so I highly doubt that run won't be an outlier in the ensembles.
