And for shids and gigs the BOS radar estimates. Obviously the values don’t explicitly matter, but it at least gives you an idea of who had the most. Looks like that little finger of green is right where that total was.
They were pounding when all of those 10-12” reports came out yesterday mid morning. I honestly expected to see more 15-18” obs. Those who cleared probably did, those who let it set probably stuck around that 12-13” mark.
Coldest in years in New England? We’ve done colder than this at most sites multiple times in the past few weeks.
But the point is that it’s a step up compared to where we’ve been and climo is going to make it difficult to reach the deepest winter cold again. I don’t think anyone is treating that like a “hot take”…just stating it for what it is.
I don’t understand the defensiveness from some. BDL has averaged 13 days of 40+ in Feb during the 2000s. It’s not like it’s difficult to tickle 40s after mid month when the pattern relaxes.
