Well...to be clear...1993 was wrm as toast with a huge in wind runner around 12/23. Thereafter it got chillier but not coldly cold until right befor the 10 inch thump on 12/28. It stayed cold for 2 dqys bit lifted out briefly for maybe a day. Then the hammer fell again right after new NYD and we were off to the races with a very cold very snowy winter. Boston recorded 96.3 whch was #1 only to have that eclipsed 2 years later. But even though 1995-96 dumped 10+ more snow, to me 1993-94 is the signature winters winter for th Boston area thanks to the durability of snowpack and virtually non stop cold.

'93-'94 certainly felt like winter. One of the coldest winters for our area since 1950. Definitely quite a bit colder than '95-'96. So when you add it up, fairly similar snow but much colder, the '93-'94 winter felt more wintry.

Exactly one mile from the beach on Rowland st., this is where long island sound finally stopped pushing inland. Signs of Sandy's surge are everywhere. Hundreds of homes are vacant, the older ones especially they were basically on ground level. The newer homes are built to FEMA specs and faired much better. So easy to forget something that just happened less than two months ago.

Is that part of the sound salt water?

Yes it is. We drove down there last week as we were on vacation. It was amazing how vacant everything was an virtually every tree, bush, and lawn was dead. Hearing that it may be a year before Penfield Pavilion reopens.

Makes sense then with the green grass and dead grass. High salinity values just torched the turf.

yea, pretty neat. I wonder if they have cool season grasses there. Usually at shore locations they have paspalums which are more salt tolerant,

Some of the homes right on the water have the seaside paspalum but this is a mile inland, just your typical perennial rye/fescue/pa blend

00z euro still offers up some flurry/snow shower activity around parts of the region over the weekend and into xmas day. like the 12z from yesterday it again wraps a bit of light snow back into E MA xmas eve and xmas day as the gulf of maine low rotates south and then out to sea. it's an eternity from now though so not much else to say about it.

On a positive note, looks like ct is looking good to get the +2.5 departure needed for making this the warmest year in recorded history ever.

chilly times.

the torch lives on in history, but yes it was AOA over all of new england and i wonder how mass finished wrt history

thankfully today away from ct there is a nice ice storm and NNE got 4-8.

From the wunderground maps it looked like much of SNE had some measurable this weekend. I think if that Ull can scoot over or underneath us we may be able to grab inch or two type snows if things break right

yeah we'll see how it goes. i think we may end up with the upper air features a bit too far N but hopefully we can squeeze something out before the holiday.

the good stuff is always in fantasy land. Saw this on the NYC board and thought it was good:

Bad winters have good patterns 10 days out while good winters have good patterns much closer in.

I saw this quote on Ray's sig once. " Small weenies look big from 10' out, while big weenies look good much closer in."
