ORH_wxman Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Just to put things in perspective....and this by no means guarantees we're going to drastically turn things around....but as BOS currently sits at 14.6 inches of snow for the winter....here's some past years: For BOS: Winter...........1/23 snow.....final snow 2016-2017........10.4............47.6 2014-2015.........5.5.............110.6 2012-2013.........7.6.............63.4 2002-2003.......12.1.............71.3 1996-1997.......13.8.............51.2 (hey sometimes it just takes one storm to make it worth it) 1992-1993........20.0............83.9 1971-1972.......15.5.............47.5 1968-1969.........5.7.............53.8 1966-1967........9.9..............60.1 1957-1958........5.4.............44.8 (but probably double that at Rt 128) 1955-1956.......11.8............60.9 Heck, even last year had what, 2 inches at this point in BOS? It didn't finish above normal, but there were several decent events and the March 4th blitz. The 2014-2015 turnaround is not believable unless you lived through it. 100 years from now weenies are going to be making fun of that season claiming how ridiculous it was that humans were measuring the snow and not perfectly calibrated robots....just like we make fun of those 1800s "snow up to thy knickers" totals now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Its also definitely been rougher for the coast. ORH sits at 32.5 inches of snow right now. If you run the years, ORH airport has never finished below 60 inches of snow for the season when they have at least 32" by this date. The sample size of that list is 26 seasons since 1948.

Expand LOL, just have them recruit students from chemical/biomedical graduate programs. We literally train for decades to make meticulous observations, manipulate small samples, and measure them with accuracy and precision. I guess all you have to do is somehow get them interested in snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
