I think last winter they had just under 13" and this winter under 10" as well. It's just as bad there/even worse based on averages. Boston has never had two consecutive seasons with less than 20" of snow. The lowest two season average was 17.4" (1979-80 and 1980-81). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lowest two season average was 17.4" (1979-80 and 1980-81). Interesting. I just checked Pittsburgh, which is still on track for two consecutive seasons of 20” or less. Looks like it’s only happened once dating back to 1879, but it was three seasons in a row (1930-31, 1931-32, and 1932-33). Of course, that was when observations were still downtown at the city office, which is about 400’ lower in elevation and averaged about a foot less than at the airport (although some of that is probably attributable to changes in observation procedure). Prior to last year, there had only been three years since then with less than 20” (1937-38, 1973-74 & 1990-91). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow night might be pretty bad if winds go calm, and often our low goes below the point/click. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low 20s will do damage but it's still pretty early in the growing season even with all this warmth lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their worst snow season ever is only a few tenths below this winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think generally it'll be okay here, again if it holds the bugs/mosquitoes off for a while I consider it a win. All this rain will mean swarms of them soon.

SnoSki14 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 What a crappy Saturday. 2-3" and raining all day. Yuck Limited flooding concerns unless the widespread 3"+ amounts verify 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know barely enough to be dangerous so no, but I have a crop of that again this year too. I think that germinates in the fall, so maybe pre emergent makes sense in the fall too? I need to research it because each spring the hairy bittercress gets worse here. I just know that the crabgrass pre emergent lasts three to four months depending on the weather and there are various types of crabgrass that germinate at different times of the spring and summer. 27 here currently. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show even in increasingly warmer climates we can still get later freezes. That doesn't bode well if the growing season gets earlier and earlier though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Figures that the strongest MJO 8 since December would wait until the start of astronomical spring. So we may have to be really patient for our next 70° day. It could take until April if the models are correct about the next 10 days. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
