Was noticing that too when I went outside about an hjour ago with a few flakes spitting....slate overcast but it was cold. Upper 20s. Seems like every snow event the last couple winters was feeling more like late March with temps in the mid-30s trying to wetbulb down below freezing.

December 2024 - Best look to an early December pattern in many a year!

My grandfather took me to my first Patriots game back in 1990 against Washington. It was the last year the field used astroturf before switching back to grass. It was a horrific night with temps in the 30s and steady rain. Very on-brand for that season, the Patriots threw a pick six and then got safetied when the long snapper snapped the ball into the stands out of the back of the end zone for a safety on a punt attempt. So the Patriots were down 9-0 and Washington’s offense hadn’t taken the field yet. Luckily for my grandfather, he was a huge Washington fan all his life. The other notable thing about that game was all the drunks. Even obvious to a 9 year old. Some of them fell down the bleachers a couple rows. Back then, they didn’t even kick you out for that type of crap, lol. They couldn’t fill those seats. -
Story of this system. If we were getting these trends on top of the 00z runs last night, then we’d be in business. But we always sneak in a regression just in time to screw it up like at 12z today. The 12z runs were def the most frustrating because the trend last night is something you think might stick given that we were getting into that 48h range. Usually those are real.

@OceanStWx talks about that game since he went to it. It was so cold the beers were freezing in the stands if you didn’t keep drinking them. -
Still not enough. Been the theme of this event. Outside of a few NAM runs and maybe another rogue model, the left goalpost has generally been not far enough for a big hit. It admittedly wouldn’t take much to get a decent hit into SE MA but this system just doesn’t want to go that final 40-50 miles NW.

Then in the playoffs there was the AFC Championship snow game vs the Colts in Jan ‘04 a month later. Then the very next year was the Jan 2005 snow game against the colts again, but in the divisional round playoffs. So many snow games over a 2 season period.
