NJwinter23 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 That area has averaged about 73.5" over the past 7 winters (dating back to 2004-2005) looking over some certified data, and I was wondering if ~60" is a fair number for their current climo average (1970-2000). I know that Logan's climo is 42.2", Worcester 67.2" and some southeast areas like Brockton/Farmingham are around 54" climo judging by this site, so I assumed 60" was a fair guess for Andover. Would appreciate anybody's input here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yeah, 60" sounds pretty close. Brockton averages less for sure, more like low or mid 40s. Framingham a little more, maybe 50" on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would appreciate anybody's input here. Andover is probably a shade over 60"...maybe about 61-62" for longterm average. Though that doesn't answer your '71-'00 question....'71-'00 specifically is lower, probably in the 57-58" range or so. That was a pretty crappy 30 year period. The best coop to approximate their snowfall is probably the Reading coop near Ray. They have averaged 58.1" in the 1971-2000 time frame. Well technically '70-'71 through '99-'00 winters. I didn't calculate the minute difference that would occur with replacing Nov/Dec of 1970 with Nov/Dec of 2000 for "annual" average. It might lower it by a few tenths as Dec 1970 was a monster month in SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'm at 63.4" since the '56-'57 season and Andover is one town N of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
