Also (may have been the same event) March 2012, when the NStar transformer blew on Scotia St in the Back Bay and we all walked around a darkened Boston in shirt sleeves.

Anecdotally and to some degree backed by actual data...is that a good predictor of early heat in spring...and maybe the following summer...is a true ratter winter like 2001-02 and 2011-12. 2001-02 was followed by 89F (BOS) on the last day of March and 93F on April 17 (although that was the day of the infamous undular cold bore/BD that capsized boats in Boston Harbor and caused a 40 F drop in a few hours) 2011-12 had 3 days of 100+ centered on July 22 featuring the second-highest reading ever at BOS (103F) Time will tell if this winter rats out and maintains the correlation (if there is one) in an early/hot spring (though not immune to raging BD reversals) but what 2001-02 and 2011-12 had that this season doesn't have (so far) is a wicked cold NE PAC. So this may not be a third example.

MJO still needs improvement, but not quite so much looking like it wants to camp out all month in 4-5 How far does your source go out? PNA isn't exactly cooperating at least until Jan 16 according to CPC

So...E trade winds at BOS by summer 2030? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

or the 594 ridge in the Atlantic

I saw a US map back in the 70s (I think) that showed the northern possible limit of palm trees around Cape May, NJ. Wonder where that limit is now, or where it will be in the near future.

'cept this torch is supposed to be like that in Moosonee, ON

Drawing the shades post/12/23 or so but leaving 'em open just a crack.

A lot of that is probably LES

the pike still favored

Pacific def looking better on GFS toward NYE

there's your 10 lolli in Ashfield MA

Who makes the Fujiwara? Toyota? Nissan?

Pacific looks better after the 24th

Confucius say, "Man who fart in church sit in own pew."

yup next decade...when 43 deg C summers in Paris is the norm and regularly sends billion-ton-ice-melting surges NW toward Greenland.

Radar shredding apart as we speak.

And let's get rid of that SE ridge while we're at it. Holy smokes look at those screaming heights in the Atlantic. No other longitude on the whole planet has 582 dmat 40 N

Decent flakes mixing in now at Museum of Science Boston

Like 1981-82?

Ripping biggest flakes and lowest visibility of the whole storm in Winchester. Probably right on the NW-moving coastal front now. Almost hoping the dryslot now in CT gets here before the change to rain, I'd prefer no precip to rain now

Few flakes here in winchester

Boston itself didn't cash in like W NE...only about 9" of slop

one got the feeling in late 2011 that it was a lock to be a ratter...lots of 65-degree days and walking around Copley Square in shirt sleeves.

Hey, why not have the whole planet be one ginormous Hadley cell. Like Mars or Titan. Meridional flow pole to pole.
