What is a fair Average seasonal snowfall for Andover area?

Recommended Posts

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.

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.
