Was down in Boston for the day, saw a flurry down there, came back to full on winter. Driving through the notch was not fun.

Damn! I’m bummed we’re missing the aurora. But it’s still snowing hard and it’s really beautiful out.

lol. It unloaded last night and is still dumping on the hill.  Nothing really in the backyard and a few miles away getting smoked.

Kevin, it does snow in November and December, but not all the time. Some years it does. Some years it doesn’t.  In the 80’s it was rare. The last 25 yrs it has a lot.  But that’s no given.  It can and certainly does, but if it doesn’t it’s not unusual. That’s just a fact. 

You are incorrect friend

A week straight of caked trees. My kind of November. My son today told me “our house is really like a winter wonderland.” I think there’s a weenie in the making… :)

I’m going up there to shake off every one of those trees.

One good SWFE and it’ll be 45° at HIE with 40mph SE winds.

Nah, not SWFE. We usually do fine in those. Cutters is when we get wiped (SE winds). But while they do significantly cut down or destroy our snowpack, they’re usually followed by a few inches of snow anyways on the backside, so we actually do spend a significant amount of time with snow on trees. It’s one thing I really love about this area even though retention and overall depth is not great. From a visual perspective, it’s hard to beat (unless you’re at 2000 ft on Mansfield of course).

Also had some good November and December snows after that time too.  
November of ‘12, didn’t December of ‘13 have some frigid snows?, November of ‘18, December of ‘19(a real biggy for Ray), December of ‘20(a biggy here)..so we’ve had them.

All through the late 1950s and 60s.

It all ebbs and flows... you get into ruts, or into great runs... up this way, we couldn't open until December last season.  This season it is record breaking snow in mid-November.  More snow on the ground now than there was during the entire 2015-2016 season in the mountains.

The natural variation in weather patterns is pretty crazy year-to-year... and especially over decadal periods.

December ‘20 was great here. The one of the two 12” events since 2018-19. Of course…just a few weeks later we had King Grinch. That’s what I want to avoid. More than I want a big December snow.

Yup…then Feb 1st of ‘21 we had a very good one(double digits).  
 

Then Feb of ‘24 I got the 13” surprise that was supposed to be 1-2”.  That storm saved that winter(ended up with 25” for the season total) from being as bad as 22-23 was(which had 12.5” for the season).

2020-21 is my only near normal snowfall year. It was good one. 

Feb ‘24 might be one of my all time favorites. I read through that thread every so often to remind myself that miracles do happen.

I didn’t mean a cold SWFE. ;)

But when we’re hanging on to the wedge here near freezing you often mix out in the SE downslope up there. Remember, the primary goes to our west in these and we don’t always get redevelopers south of us.

Absolutely. That’s what recall so fondly and miss the most. December’s were more often snowy and sometimes so were Novembers . It’s the whole premise for my wasting winter if you wait until January. Two months wasted with only two months of winter left and if lucky a Morch that snows a few times and melts quickly .

I will say, When I was a teenager during the 80’s…it seemed it didn’t want to snow here until January most years.  But eventually that changed too when we got into the early and mid 90’s. 

This. Some years there was quite a bit before January 1st, and others maybe a few flurries. In my head I just never expect any real winter to get rolling before Christmas. As DIT says it does happen, but it's the exception for sure down here. I don't ever remember having snow on Thanksgiving, and having it last for any large stretch of time.
