This may be my favorite stat from that winter: Fastest 90-inch snowfall: 23 days from Jan. 24 - Feb. 15, 2015 (previous record: 78 days from Dec. 30, 1993 to Mar. 17, 1994). Talk about crushing a record!
I wouldn't put much faith in that data. Framingham put up 33" in the blizzard and the roided SWFE later that week probably put them around 4 feet. Then there was the storm around the 8th that was 20"+ and the mid-level magic that was 12-15+.
It still amazes me we pulled triple digits after being single digits in late January. Sometimes I just shake my head and ask, "Did that really happen?"
There is a time for everything. Be a but incredulous when the pattern justifies it and optimistic when things look good. No need to be gung ho in marginal situations. Merry Xmas, btw. I don't mean to sound harsh.
The slow start in '13 was made worse because of how sh*tty 2012 was. That was a looong period of garbage. And I remember the denial in here when the blizzard started showing up in the modeling. A certain snowbank sculptor in Tolland was tossing the Euro long and hard until about two days out.
