Oh, i know...but ratters will rat. If the pattern flips in 8-10 days we should doo okk for a little while at least...but it is going to become tougher if we get much past that date with little to show 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we define the start of winter being December 1, we're at an "F" now. Bringing that up to a C+ will show a lot of fun in the final 1/3 of it.

Damage In Tolland Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 It’s amazing how SNE ended up on the wrong side of the gradient this winter. Usually in gradients we do ok. It’s basically impossible to go thru almost 2 heart of winter months completely snowless , but we’re doing it. I honestly never thought anything like this would ever happen , while NNE has had snow after snow after snow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is good reason to believe that this winter will evolve in a generally similar fashion. I'm not equating the two as an analogy--I thought my 'context' comment covered that. I think a better argument would be to reference the multiple years this has happened rather than the outlier of 2015, an outlier so beyond the norm that probably none (even the young ones on the board) will not see again in our lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Okay...so shave 15-20" off of 2005 and 1978 if you must...60" is my floor this season for KBOS. Yes, that would below the 80-90" forecast range. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrific thunder. Too bad it wasn't accompanied by snow, but there's still time for that. Was snow up here, caught the show on the driveway camera.

Just a horrible summer from an outdoor activity standpoint with cloudy drizzle mornings and monsoon rains every afternoon/evening. East of the river was drier so maybe you was able to enjoy the sun more....but it was depressing in the west. Never again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
