This will end up being a backloaded winter lol That’s if your going by MET winter...Regular winter it looks to line right up with peak climo!! So not backloaded ..right on target-loaded!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think it starts a little more earlier than Jan15 this I'm pretty sure of and I still call most of March Winter still. March is Most certainly winter.

Its a figure of speech...90% of snow occuring after 1/15 is considered backloaded, regardless of whether you want to bludegeon folks with semantics.

It’s just to me I’d rather have it winter ( December) than Morch which turns into spring . Just how I’d prefer it.

For as good a run as we’ve been on... it goes unnoticed how bad December has been for the better part of a decade here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how I’d prefer it. March loses the feel of winter to me with the sun angle and daylight increases Kids shoveling their driveways so they can play basketball outside until 7pm in the long days of March? It's an interesting thought process for someone at 1,000ft elevation but I actually thinks it lines up with your general yearly cycle. You do enjoy rushing seasons to early ends and like the next season to begin early. Be it trying to get summer in April or winter to arrive in October. I wish it was like that too...more of solar season's. Like when it's light out until 7:30pm it should be more like summer weather, not a rain/snow mix in April. Dark at 5pm in November should be deep winter. Problem is our season's lag a lot behind the solar cycle. But I get your vibe on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said I get it from that perspective of daylight and how it makes you perceive the seasons. On March 21st in New England you could have a 30-inch pack with the same amount of daylight as when Ginxy is bodysurfing in Rhode Island in September. I would rather mid-summer during the longest days of the year and mid-winter be in December during the darkest time of year. But Nature doesn't care what I want lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
