3 top 10 lowest snowfall seasons during the 2020s so far. Their new average for the 2020s so far is only 26.1 which is similar to what NYC averaged during earlier decades. So about 50% of what they averaged during the 2010s. Boston had 100” in only 39 days back in 2015. That 39 day total is higher than their total snowfall since January 2021 to March 2024.

There is little doubt that we are getting milder. However, I don't believe we are not going to see good winters still, some seem to be implying that. The above records really show we were due for a snow drought of sorts.

BDR gusting into the low 50's.

[lee59]

41 degrees here, 1.77 inches of rain and winds gusting to 35mph

[nycsnow]

There is a crazy roar with these winds 

[Sn0waddict]

Pretty calm here so far but guessing that will change. My brother already lost power down in Fairfield.

Yeah it's wild here.  Torrential rains too which are likely bringing down the winds

[stemwinder]

Been thundering here too.  Not a good day for picnics, for sure.

My guess is that the 2010s will stand as our snowiest decade in modern times. While the warmer winters have lead to a decline in snowfall during the 2020s ,there will still be good years in the mix. But since we have probably began a declining pattern, there will be the chance for more below average than above average seasons over time.

Never got out of the 30's here today.  Briefly hit 39 and has been hovering between 36 and 37 all afternoon.  Still periods of heavy rain at time and winds still ripping.
