I don’t think the statistics on Nina Decembers mean anything especially with a totally unscientific sample size. Also, let’s say everyone is below normal through December and a whopper dumps 1-2 feet starting New Year’s Day afternoon-but the arbitrary cutoff says ratter. Silly. What’s perhaps more relevant about the statistic is that low snow in the first half of winter is often a good harbinger regardless of the enso state. Of course the notable exception is 2014-15 when BOS had single digits for the season in mid January and finished with their all timer at 110.6”
