Preparing to locate the 1 or 2 ensembles members that are still hits, out of 51.

Got this from @growingwisdom on twitter. What I find most interesting besides being the coldest 75 day start to winter in Boston since 93-94 is it’s colder than every 80s winter besides 81 and on par with 82.  
I thought the 80s were much colder, I have no recollection as I was born in 85.

The 1980s are pretty cold on that graph. The defining feature is really no huge torches of any kind outside of the super Nino ‘82-83 winter. So while they didn’t have utterly frigid winters post-82, they consistently were below normal on temps.

They were cold…I was a teenager during the 80’s…And while they were consistently cold, the snow sucked 85-90% of the time.
 

There were a few big ones scattered in there, but it was underwhelming most of the time.  Mixing was very common. It was like pulling teeth to get a pure snow event during that decade.  1-3” and 2-4” were very common. 3-6” was a good storm.  And the beloved 4-8” was a biggy.    of course there was the April Blizzard of 82 which was a monster, and Feb of 83 was big.  And 1984 was a decent snow winter.  Mid March of 84 had a good 8-10” storm. And then a couple weeks later in late March of 84 there was a pretty big late season snow storm around the 30-31st, which was pretty dam good for that decade. 
 

And as Will said…they were consistently BN.  So it just goes to show how this winter has been dam cold.

I recall that mid-march '84 storm, freshman year of high school, was the last time we got out of class due to snow.  Couldn't buy a day off for the rest of my high school career. Zip, nada, nothing.
