  1. Disagree. I’ve been in many a March snow bomb in the 1950s and 60s and it’s not the same. March of 18 was great but even it lacked a midwinter vibe. The only exception I can think of is 3/3/60. That felt like January.
  2. Looks great but “nuking snow” with visibility shown doesn’t pass the “I’m not a weenie” test.
  3. We have an intensive synchronous on line course. I used to lead it but now I leave it to the next generation which is great because I don’t like to get up too early.
  4. I actually agree with this but I also acknowledge climo. December isn’t as snowy as March most years. Normal high temperature for BOS 12/1 is 46-similar to mid March. However you’re clearly in deep winter by the December solstice. It’s just the seasonal lag means we wait to later in December. But Kev is right-March while often snowy has a spring vibe and December a winter one.
  5. Good post, George. It will be nice to see some snow finally.
  6. Don’t ever travel through airports on Black Friday! Nice to be back for the cusp of met winter. Hopefully I’m not tired of it by mid January.
  7. What’s the big deal? It will get colder by a good margin. We’ll get SOME snow-pattern relaxes mid month, reloads for 10 days, massive warm cutter wipes out snow otg in all of New England 12/24-25. Cold again for back to work post NYD.
  8. Well get some snow otg for sure before 12/10. Keep hope alive.
  9. First flake in the 1999-00 winter at BOS was 1/12/00. Over the next 30 days 25 inches and then good bye winter.
  10. It's a matter of how seriously one takes it. If it consumes your being such that there's a black cloud over you if winter looks good and then shits the bed, you probably should think about stepping back from it. If it's fun and actually even laughable when things falll apart you're good. In any case, Happy Thanksgiving! Most of us have it way better than the vast majority of humans world wide. Plenty to be thankful for.
  11. All vendors go 10:1. The problem is what they consider snow vs other forms of precipitation including slop.
  12. Shorts and t’s today. Warm and muggy in Houston. Friday home flight looks fine with the speed of the Thanksgiving system. Then we hunker.
  13. WTF is wrong with you? Winter starts Labor Day and ends when we install 3/1.
  14. When do you think you’ll learn not to post d16 op model gifs? You’re no longer a rookie. Step it up!
  15. And remember sne, we can do well on clippers moving under us. 12/30/08 featured a quick hitting 8 inches here from a clipper that came into view 2-3 days out.
  16. 2012-13 was a warm winter-and pretty snowy . BOS had 50%+ above average snow for the season. So I guess I’m saying regarding your first sentence, yes you can but I agree not in the first half of December.
  17. Yeah I don’t see the value of hand wringing when we’re on the cusp of a good pattern. We know it will relax at some point in December but as Will alluded to, the hope is it’s a relatively short and uneventful relaxation vs bathing suit weather.
  18. I got to Boston a month later and snow was still deep. We got an 8 incher and everyone said ho hum.
