HoarfrostHubb Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Well, another one bites the dust. A good threat is seemingly pulling a Scott Norwood and Boston might not see anything measurable. The record is 303 days set in 1999-2000. Currently they are at 291 days (as per DonS) someone please take care of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going by Barry Burbank's weather blog where it sates March 1, and today being 293 days...I guess he/I did the math wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRSno Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I moved here in 2006 and since then I have to say I am underwhelmed! My friends who grew up here talk about very different winter back in the day. Here's to hoping Jan and Feb forecasts bust as we have a bomb time!

It's mainly "wrong" because of how cold we've been this month. I'm not sure what BOS is for the month but I know BDL is -3.9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this cold is a waste. Im worried what happens when Jan rolls around, are we in for a torch with nothing to melt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows..maybe not if the -NAO block sticks around. Hopefully we weaken it to -1 or -2 SD and that gives us a better shot at having storms amplify.

You just missed some good winters. 2002-2003, 2003-2004, 2004-2005, and 2005-2006 were all very good winters. Not sure if you are in the Boston area, but I think they did well in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 which you experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 BOS will likely get measurable on Tuesday or Wednesday, so they'll just miss out on the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 im wondering if this will be the least snowiest calendar year in boston's history? does such a record exist, i dont even know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting way to look at it... A pretty meh Jan-March 1, then no-little snow a week before Christmas. Anyone know the total since Jan first?

Hopefully we weaken it to -1 or -2 SD and that gives us a better shot at having storms amplify. If both the historic experience and ensemble forecast for the AO are representative, the AO could be pushing toward and probably reaching positive territory in the first week in January. The composite January temperature anomaly when the AO ranged from -1.99 to 0 when ENSO Region 3.4 anomalies were -1.75 to -1.25 was: When the AO was positive during such cases, the warmth was much more widespread, including all of New England.

Anyone know the total since Jan first? i'm fairly certain that both ottawa and montreal will be threatening their all-time calendar year records. as well as toronto too. some places up in eastern quebec are threatening to have their second straight green xmas after never having one on record ever.

weathafella Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Will BOS break the streak with OES of all things? We have a sportin' chance imho. However as Will stated, we'll likely get some token fraction prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyglover Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I'm looking out my window in downtown Boston currently and I'd say theres probably somewhere around 1/8" down right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
