I know.

I was around for that one (PD1).  I was living on the north shore of LI at the time.  We did get snow for that- 7” worth with more in NYC and Jersey.  The kicker for that one was a large part of LI Sound was frozen over.  Like east facing coastal areas in NE we would get a bump in accumulations with storms that have a low level flow from the E and NE.  With the frozen coastal waters our totals  were cut in addition to what resulted from the synoptic setup.

Name the center(s) on the Warriors championship teams....and don't look the names up..The Wariiors had terrific perimeter players. The Bucks did not have a top tier center, The Raptors did not have a top tier center. 

The C's fail in part because the players are more interested in their own personal stats than winning a championship.  

This we can agree on.

The bucks and raptors had better inside games then the Celtics do.  Maybe if Robert Williams could play more than three games in a row they would be better.

Anyway, we should take the sports to banter.

This is what I was getting at...that is the absolute worst nightmare of a season....it wasn't even warm. It was actually cold, and on paper, you would have been happy with that season....but it just invented ways to not snow around here.

Imagine having a season so cold that LI sound freezes over, adorned in snowfall futility records....

Give me 2011-2012 over that. lol

Those were lean years back in the 70s and 80s however you did get an unexpected snowstorm on 12/6/81 that dumped 16-24” from Boston to Providence.

I didn't realize that one was unexpected. Wasn't paying enough attention in the crib, I guess.

Did it back in?

EPS actually pops a positive PNA (or close enough in terms of sensible wx pattern) in the 11-15….not buying it yet but that would be a welcome change. Esp since the NAO blocking is going away. 

Welcome yes and as you allude-necessary.   I’m willing to roll the dice with that look....we’d provably have better chances of big ticket snows vs the current pattern.

I have no idea why you break his balls over falling six wins shy of a WS title when they weren't even supposed to contend...you act as if they underachieved.

 It makes no sense.

Completely OT regarding weather, but I complete agree.  After a disastrous 2020 season did ANY of us actually expect the Red Sox to contend and be in the ALCS especially considering what each of us projected to be a "meh" FA signing group?  

The Sox are onto something good, starting with the farm system.  Hopefully Bloom can balance his cost-managing ways that made the Rays a perennial contender and augment them with the ability to spend, when necessary.  This off-season is a great example of that.  Correa?  Story? Suzuki?  What high-class talent will Bloom sign to complement the core already here?

Completely agree.....although, I did correctly predict the Sox for a low 90s win total and Wild Card contention.

I also knew they had a shot at beating TB because they were too reliant on young, unproven SP.
