I agree with you regarding 95-96, included 2 major snowstorms in April. The Sox home opener was snowed out that April. And the opener was nearly snowed out a 2nd time. The snow started shortly after the game. 

I remember that....to be honest, its too bad that whole season wasn't snowed out. There was all of this hype after they had signed Canseco's juice laden corpse coming off of the surprise AL East crown in 1995....."Think pitchers will pitch around Mo (Vaughn) this year....NO WAY, JOSE". Then they proceeded to get off to like a 6-20 start, as Canseco clutched for his back with each swing and miss, and the rest was unfortunate history.

Concluded as we watched Boggs' fake hair rustle in the wind, as rode he a horse in celebration of the start of a dynasty in the Bronx-

That’s kind of what made 2004-05 so great.  Every month had above normal snow with good events in November and December, the epic snows of late January which kept on giving.  Not to mention the widespread huge event in January of 2005.

Feb 2005, like 1996, was kind of a let down, though probably still managed above normal snow. December and April is what separated 1996 from 2005.

Was 95-96 the year there was snow on Easter?

My childhood dog was a rescue and a mixed-breed. He was half-husky--we didn't know the other half. He'd go out in snow storms and refuse to come in. He'd just go out, dig a little snow fort, and sit there for hours. Crazy guy lived 21 years, so maybe he was on to something.

I had two yellow labs, when I opened the door and they saw snow they bolted no matter how deep, in fact the deeper is was they liked better.

Yes , the Sox did get off to a terrible start but they played great in the 2nd half of the season. Kevin Kennedy was the manager and he liked to hear himself talk, much in the way the current manager does.  Kennedy was only in his early 40's when the Sox fired him but he was never able to land another managing job.

Every time I think of the 96 Sox the first  name that comes to mind is Kevin Mitchell...........

One more off topic nitpick on Ray's post....Canseco was already on the '95 division winning team (and played great in the regular season). Who could forget the absolute wrath he and Mo Vaughn took for going 0-for-the-series against Cleveland in the playoffs.

Perhaps you have already heard this news........I can't stand the Canseco brothers.........

Nice day out... fixed my lawnmower that wouldn’t start for the last mow last year. Carb was full of gunk

Got to love modern gasoline! Terrible. It reminds me I have stale gas in the old Bug and lawnmowers still... need a good D.I.T. wind event to burn it all up in the genny!

It does....there may be some chances after 3/2ish, but nothing popping out at the moment. Sometimes we see that in March though....it looks quiet, and then boom, it shows up inside of 4-5 days.

Dry and mild as far as eye can see

There was that nice storm signal on the 0z Euro for next week. Not sure if this run will still have it.

It was a pretty weak signal on the ensembles, so not overly optimistic on that one even accounting for the lead time. But you always have to watch out in March for stuff that doesn't show up right away. Model accuracy starts to decrease as wavelengths shorten.

Not sure why the big campaign advertising it that off season, then.

I remember Mitchell, too....all 300lbs of him, at that point. Sox in the 80's and 90's loved signing FA stars after rigor mortis had already set in. Jack Clark, Otis Nixon, Andrew Dawson, Frankie Viola, Rob Deer, Nick Esasky, Canseco and Mitchell, etc. Usually sluggers....

I'll take that over March 2006, 2014 or 2015.

Nothing irritates me more than a month of September sun amidst a slew of January air masses with little snowfall to show for it.

We might need to fire up the drought 2021 thread early this year.

Biggest 04-05 snowfall here prior to Feb 10 was a measly 3.4".  Then the next 31 days brought 60", including storms of 21, 11.5 and 11 inches, for a slightly AN snow season.

Yea, your season picked up when our season let up. I remember the exact moment that it let up, too. I was on a computer in the UML library on south campus when I realized that the forecast 6-10" wasn't happening, and the rain started falling. That must be when things got better for you hahaha

The Feb. 10-11 storm (my 21" dump and 3rd and most recent TSSN) grew up as it moved north, though ORH got 5.6.  That said, BOS had 32" for Feb/Mar and ORH 48, not up to Jan's monster snow but also not bad for "letting up".

I don't mean March...February "let up"...

Yeah we had a good stretch even in Feb/Mar...esp late Feb into mid-March. We had like 30” during that 3 week stretch. 

[CoastalWx]

We actually missed the storm that happened to dump on the cape on 2/25/05.  I think I had maybe 5-6” and they had over a foot I think or close to it there. Made up though a few days later, but Feb was a quieter stretch overall.
