What doldrums, best Fathers day ever with family and friends, weather has been San Diego esque, and its only just begun. As usual a gentle east breeze brought in some waves for the kids at Penfield, a true gold coast classic.

Viva La Summer!

My avg is 58..ask our old friend Will or Metherb

All I can say is what I average and will offer it FWIW. Are we going by a seasonal average or annual average? I have both and 26 seasons to average up (I'm missing data from the first couple).

My annual average (adding up the average January, February, March, etc.) snow fall at 675' in Stafford Springs is 57.4". The average of the past 26 seasons is 57.8". What the higher elevations up to 1300' around me averages is unknown to me, but I do know that one of my sugar bushes in Union tops out over 1200' and I've seen countless times where it is raining here and it starts snowing above 1000' or is a mix there and snowing when I'm at the sugar bush. I would presume that they average more than me.

If anyone wants the annual numbers, let me know.

I'm not saying I disagree, just didnt know. I still wanna know what I average. 980' north facing in hilly area pretty far nw. I think 65-70"

I'm not sure north facing has anything to do with actual accumulations, though you'll hold snowpack a lot better. I've never really found aspect to matter during an actual storm... only after in terms of retention.

Wow Boston pulled a -10 today. People with basic math skills know a below normal month is pretty much a lock now.

I was surprised how much colder you guys were in SNE today than I was up here...

I hit 79F at home today... another day near 80 with dews near 50F. Just awesome summer weather.

You can definitely see how eastern New England (in both NNE and SNE) is significantly cooler than western New England.

Its currently 77F here in town which looks like a pretty common temperature on the NNE temp map... 75F at 1,500ft base of ski area.

Looks wonderfully cool down in SNE though... I'll always take the colder over warmer, no matter how perfect this has been the past few days.

It doesn't...it just looks more wintery

Yes it does.... big difference in "wintery" feel between north and south facing hillsides. I'd take the lack of sunlight and warmth and go with north facing just to have those days when a couple inches of snow clings to all the branches while its long gone off south facing slopes. Also you probably get another two weeks out of a snowpack, haha.

Another example of the effect of the Coriolos Force, the season - late spring/early summer and SST's cooler than the adjacent land mass, and the relationship of the area in question to the location of the highest surface pressures (to the east and northeast of NE. This has resulted in SNE (and the northeastern MA states-including NYC and LI), in receiving a prolonged unseasonably cool easterly and northeasterly flow, and northwestern New England, receiving a light SW flow (off the relatively warmer land (at least during the daytime, to its west and southwest). Forgive me for stating the obvious.

The Corona force has my head spinning right now.

Both you an Kevin fail. NW RI gets 55" or so with. Few spots near 57" I believe. Kevin

Does not avg 60...just like he is not 1000'.

The N Foster coop averages 58" at 600 feet...probably some of those 700+ hills touch 60".
