Coming back to this- Winter of 2025/26 was 4.6 degrees colder than the winter of 1926/27. Greta’s grandad wasn’t even an itch in great grandaddies pants, yet there were warmer than normal winters then too.

White Plains NY Snowfall ~140% of normal Snowstorms - 2 storms that were 16+, plus some nickels and dimes here and there. Most storms overperformed in fact. That factors a lot frankly in my grade. I was never let down. Temps - well below normal for all 3 met winter months. Too damn cold. Snowcover - I’d say 10 weeks of the 13, we had something OTG somewhere in my yard, all the way up to 30 inches in spots at one point. We still have a solid pack and will have snow for at least a few more days in the yard, piles longer. White Christmas - this puts it over the top for me. I’d sign up for this winter if given the chance every single time. A+

Make it stop

I’m not convinced this changes the character of this Winter in any respect, but you do you. I’ve noticed some posts suggesting this winter wasn’t actually that cold by some of the Gretanistas, but it falls flat for most (those of us that went outside anyway). Its gets warmer in Spring. We’re all fine here.

I also have a pellet stove. I estimate I save about 1,200 per year but pellet prices have been going up over the past decade cutting into savings. When I got the stove, I was paying $4 for oil and paying half of what I am now paying for pellets. Money mattered at the time but not anymore. Still saving some money, but it's not the point. My wife is spoiled by that thing since there is always a 90 degree room in the house. 6 tons this winter averaging 360 per ton, about a ton per month plus or minus, 75+ tons since I got the thing. I'd be happy to burn oil and not have to tinker and haul pellets all the time.

100 years ago? to the day? EDIT - yes says the all time record was 1926. 2025 was 5th coldest all time. Many stations reported all time record lows, including LGA and Sikorsky airport in CT. JFK tied it's all time record.

Guaranteeing probably not? What does that even mean? And what is this guarantee based on? How can you make good on this guarantee?

mud season will also be epic.

Cant be right. My location says 42 but I was 35 last week. I just got 22.

Since Greta has forsaken us, how about a spring cancel banter thread?

Congrats Anthony! Nailed it. Got any stock advice?

for sure
