True, but we haven't been doing good at all here either. Newfoundland yes has in this pattern.

I used to have a coworker from Brentwood England, which I think is pretty close to London, and she always thought the Boston accent was quite normal.

But the Boston accent sounds nothing like a true English accent.  But whatever.

Is there ever a year where those provinces are starved of snow? 
 

Many places where Americans live are what I call “Typical” snowfall locations. I define that as any location that averages 20 to 45 inches of snow annually. Such locations alternate between snowy years and frustrating years of lacking. And there’s nothing you can do about it when you live there. 

Minding out possible future shifts in weather behavior, I just can’t imagine that Newfoundland is a location that EVER struggles with snowfall. I mean these places gotta get 100, 200 inches per year right? Not threatened by climate change. But Canada’s weather service is super foreign to me and I find that NOAA is superior to theirs. What with all that unoccupied land with scant routine observation. In other words, I have not studied weather in northeastern Canada.

I still text her once in a while. Maybe tomorrow I’ll ask her more specific thoughts on it.  It’s possible the Boston accent reminds her of some area of England.

Ya I’m sure that’s possible.

 

The thing is, you’ll never hear anybody on national TV or national news etc…with that accent. They don’t want it.   Hey whatever, it’s all good. Who cares.

I'm off to my sister tomorrow.  She lives at 1,470' in NE Pennsylvania.  I'm curious to see the weather there over the next 10 days or so that I'm there.

Pretty strong model signal for the last day or two for a really icy start Christmas morning.

Nobody from England I’ve ever heard speak sounds like Boston, at all. There’s a stark difference between the two. That’s all I’m saying.

I have relatives from Yorkshire that I can hardly understand. I also have relatives from Georgia that I can hardly understand.

Yes..I could see that. Lol. I actually enjoy the different accents.

Steady light snow and 25°

[Sugarloaf1989]

Dry here despite the radar showing snow overhead,  26F.

[The 4 Seasons]

Steady snow for about 45 min, roads covered. Looks nice out.

The connection is the non-rhotic pronunciation. Most American dialects are rhotic, which was a characteristic of English spoken in England until about 200 years ago. Ultimately all languages and dialects and rapidly evolving constantly, so it doesn't really matter. But it is fascinating to learn about how language has evolved.

Yes, same here.  25 degrees. 

[FlashFreeze]

 Snow has increased in intensity a bit, ground is covered and the plows have gone by, powdery snow that blows around as cars go

Light dusting

Steady light snow... a solid coating out there.
