Is that really 95 percentile? Honest question.

Yeah I'd be surprised if there were more than 6 or 7 going back to the 1890s which is where my knowledge of snowfall climo begins to run thin.

In Hubbardston-land, there's only 4 winters I'd be comfortable saying have bested this year for total snowfall. 2000-2001, 1995-1996, 1971-1972, and 1960-1961.

There are some close ones though: 1992-1993, 2002-2003, 1986-1987, 1955-1956, 1947-1948, 1922-1923, and 1898-1899.

But we still are likely not done so those close winters will probably be irrelevant once we reach the finish line.

Yeah. 2000-2001 was pretty sweet and I def had similar or more on the ground based on the few pics I have from that season. I wish I had kept track then

You had about 125 in '00-01. Maybe plus or minus 5" for error bars. Ashburnham had 117 with some missing data and Fitzwilliam had 135 or so. You would have done better than Ashburnham that winter which isn't usually the case. But both Feb 5, 2001 and the big March bomb had better banding further W in ORH county.

Crappy phone pic from earlier

It hasn't looked like that here for about 10 days.  Granted I don't have that volume of woods here but that's still impressive. My impressions from moving down here from Central Mass when I was younger was that generally things are about 10 to 14 days ahead in this location than they are up there from when the snow melts to growing season to when the leaves change etc,.. The only thing we can sometimes pull off earlier is a valley frost.

GYX mentions blowing salt and sand in the wind advisory.  Not sure I've ever seen that one before...

 

* IMPACTS...STRONG WIND GUSTS MAY MAKE STEERING DIFFICULT WHILE
DRIVING... ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. WIND GUSTS WILL
ALSO PICK UP SALT AND SAND FROM TREATED ROADS AND PARKING
LOTS... SUSPENDING THESE PARTICLES IN THE AIR. BLOWING SALT AND
SAND WILL MAKE FACING INTO THE WIND ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT.
