As we move to fall and winter,RIP to friends lost- messenger aka clinch leatherwood real name Scott Simard James Nichols (his real name)

2/3/61 may be the heaviest synoptic snow I’ve ever seen. You could actually see it pile up on top of the antecedent deep pack.

5+ AN. For winter probably 10+. So by now upper 70s and higher. People freaking out by lingering summer. This is a common occurrence! If it’s in the 80s thanksgiving I’ll worry more but honestly this weather means nothing regarding winter.

The 2nd half torch was signaled well by eps 10 days ago or more.

It actually looks identical from when he WS born roughly

Probably downtown. It’s not like they had airports in 1915.

Greenland weenies getting ready for feet of snow.

It is but not for the reason you posted. I remember autumns 60+ years ago that went deep with warmth and dews well past Columbus Day.

As a child growing up in NNJ, it was common to have accumulating snow in November. October was rare but I remember trick or treating in a snowstorm sometime in the early to mid 1950s.

I remember xcountry skiing in the arboretum on a deep pack right before the blizzard. I was still a concerned about losing the storm to the south and I was not yet on line so I drove around in lowering overcast to check the weathervanes around town. That was a Sunday and temperatures were in the upper teens mid day. Monday with the storm still raging I got the good news that sleet was mixing in as far north as Braintree but it quickly got beaten back. I had to get to work-a 2 hour T ride ending at government center and me walking the mile to causeway street. This lady was really furious that the T was stopping at government center and was pounding on the driver window. What a melt. Good times!

The expectations were so high but it was muted in the results. So while nearly everyone got 6-12, expecting 18+ essentially ruined it. I also remember an obscene nao which actually brought in North Atlantic puke keeping temperatures in the 40s a few days after Christmas. Once that relaxed some we got in on the January blizzard and surprise aftermath a few days later. Then we had heavy snow to rain and a full melt until the pattern reloaded. But initially we weren’t sure if a reload was coming.

This may be interactive and change daily.

Moderate rain occasionally heavy at Costco in Dedham

I was actually going to mention the late February events-I have a currier and Ives looking picture from 2/28 in my old hood. Unc mentioned 1960-61 and it’s not a bad analogy for 2010-11 but the storms of 1960-61 were bigger and more exciting.

2010-11 had a 7 week winter. The 2nd half of December and January were great but winter died as February rolled.

I know a dog named spotty…

You’re getting very wet

RAP is a gully washer! HRR actually is slow but would appear to bring the goods a bit later.

2 max zones. BOS-PVD roughly and CT River with seemingly a subsidence zone in between

Some interesting stuff coming off the coast of Africa albeit >7 days away. The tendency for better ridging moving forward combined with the baseline La Niña suggests we’re not done. It does look above normal temperature wise over and above recent baseline for the foreseeable future. That’s good for me.

I despise autumn. Please give me summer or winter only! Ugh! to correct the record a few pages back-I left Boston for LA in November 1976 returning July 1991.

Read up a post.

Return of Leon to use Hadley juice to smash the 2 ahead of him? Not my forecast but a boy can dream…

Boston GTG!

ne.weather....remember the fights between that Ziegler character and DT? Those were the days....
