moneypitmike Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 If I can get 12+ from this, it will have risen from the ranks of D- a couple weeks ago to a solid C. Add in the potential cold at the end of the week, could even eek out a C+/B-. Beyond that, there are some models hopes for continued improvement. Since you're a teacher, though, you know how potential sometimes is realized, and sometimes not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 06-07. Thru mid-January it was heading toward the warmest and least snowy winter on record. Turned cold in 2nd half, then learned to snow in Feb, finishing with an April that blew the doors off the snowfall records for that month. Snow thru Jan 31: 19". Snow Feb-Apr: 76". 04-05 works, too. A week into Feb I had not seen a single snowfall 3.5" or greater. Then 60" in 31 days from 5 storms, starting with 21" (and thunder) Feb 10-11.

dendrite Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 This cold has been nice, but snowfall wise it's just a bit above average up here. At least a lot of you are having a historic run. I guess I already had mine in 07-08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Kart Mozart Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 This is turning into a Twilight Zone episode....it could be titled "Be Careful What You Wish for". First, you are frustrated by no snow. Then you enjoy a few biggies. Before you know it you are fighting for your lives under 20' of accumulation, houses crushed, no access to food or medical care, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 For Worcester it's been more like a 3rd quarter blowout, after falling behind a bit in the first half. And now you're just running up the score at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 2004-05 at least for BOS had above normal snow in November, December, January, February, and March. Comeback cold but we had a nice winter snow wise imby wire to wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Based on Don S.'s table from yesterday, showing winters with less than x by Jan 20, this should be #1 as far as making a comeback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 This year has been much colder. Not debating that. But I don't consider that a comeback winter given the well distributed snow until it got really crazy in late January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy4Confluence Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 2006-2007 was an awful start with temps soaring to 70+ in Jan. Then, the pattern flipped in late Jan. leading to a much colder Feb. and March. The VD storm was a nice hit that year followed by a nice storm in mid March ( Around St. patty'S Day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy4Confluence Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 That season still sucked. Depends on your expectations. If you're comparing to normal climo, we Certainly weren't living the dream that year. But winter was salvaged imo with a couple of warning level storms and some other nickel + dimes, frozen parking lots/sidewalks for several weeks.

BOS finished with 17 inches thanks to a swfe that dumped 8 before taint in the second half of march. Sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 2006-2007 was a decent comeback in interior SNE...ORH had 5.0" through January 31st...lowest on record. Finished with 49.7" after putting up 44.7" after Feb 1st. That's a pretty good turnaround. BOS-PVD and southeastward never really got off the mat...they merely avoided futility.

February and March 2007 were solid snow months, right about my avg but cold so it was retained. Then April brought a big dump on 4-5, another warning-level event on 12-13, then the Patriots Day nor'easter. Top of the "Loaf is rumored to have gotten 5 feet from that one (I had 5" snow and 5" cold rain), and probably topped 100" for the month, easily.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Even though I've been fringed with the big storms, this certainly ranks up there imby for comebacks. Persistent cold, storms, and most importantly, no rainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceryain people think they know everything and feel they have to make others look smaller. You know who you are. First of all, I apologize if my posts felt insulting. Secondly, the temperature turn around in 2007 was unreal! So it was a great turn around for that reason. Coastal plain snow never got going unfortunately hence my overall bad taste for that winter.
