@powderfreakwill have to verify for me but I think January 2014, up here, featured brutal cold interspersed with driving rain.

I think that is the month where Tamarack had a frigid month with more inches of rain vs snow. 

Yes that was the depths of my despair.  I think Philly was rattling off weekly warning level storms between the warm ups while we just froze cold and dry.  My yard was a pond of frozen stagnant water.

Why are you ruling out a couple inches interior from the IVT?

December 2014 was subpar. Wet, warm, snow-free (0.3 at BOS, 1.5 at ORH) and the Christmas torch.

That winter got a little better I guess.

SE NH is def the pork zone so far relative to climo. Areas like ASH to Derry over to DAW have been screwed pretty bad. They average double digits in December and while there’s still a couple weeks to go, they’ll keep falling behind unless a miracle happens on Friday or that Xmas system delivers. 

up to MHT and CON as well. too far south in one storm, too far north in others. I am pretty sure most of the posters here who reside in CT have gotten more snow than my paltry 6.5"

How do you have 6.5" when MHT has 2"?

He’s probably away from the river or at a somewhat higher elevation. The difference is between 300 feet and 600 feet and less than a mile or pretty spectacular in the Merrimack Valley.

That was the case in Londonderry and Derry with the storm last March.

My friend in Bedford at 550' has less I think. Just asking.

Santa saving Christmas for some. 

[CoastalWx]

Although GFS trying to change to rain on Christmas lol.

West and a little elevation has made a difference. My mom has had 4-6” I think. MHT ASOS is technically in Londonderry too.

fwiw - the ggem was a tick more meaningful for ri/e ma

When are we starting a thread for the Christmas potential lol

Jan 1-15, 2014:  Temp 22.9/0.3/11.6 (5.1 BN), Precip 3.46" (1.68" AN), Snow 2.1" (7.2" BN)  Month finally had more snow than precip - 5.1" vs 3.77". 
2nd least snowy January at the Farmington co-op, POR Jan 1893 thru Sept 2022.

Dec 1973 (at BGR):  9.50" precip, 7.9" SN.  At 6 PM on 12/17 we had RA+ and 56° with 50 mph SE gusts. 
                                                                       Same time NYC had 25° and ZR while my parents' place (where I'd lived until Jan 73) had 15 and IP.

93-94 was near record in most spots...Boston did set a record that was eclipsed in 1995-1996...ORH was close.....but my area was always caught in between. Most of the events were either CJ or elevation deals. I had 78.5"...which was decent, but nothing to write home about.

I lived in Bristol CT back then and I only had 60 inches while a few miles north BDL had close to 90.

lol I know there's superstition around it but for someone trying to learn the more threads the better IMO.  If the rug gets pulled I like to know why.

[ORH_wxman]

GEM has the event too...decent snow on Xmas Eve and overnight into Xmas morning.

[CoastalWx]

Canadian is colder. Would keep it around Christmas day.

Here comes the normal snowfall posts from a 20 sq  mile area of CT.

Lol.  I started that post, and the four of us are very proud of our little zone of joy.

What an oddball little thing off of the cape on the 27th

[CoastalWx]

GFS goes wild with that low. Days of cold rain.

[Prismshine Productions]

GFS gives me 23" between next Tuesday and Friday

[ma blizzard]

sign me up for a GFS-esque solution but a tick colder in the low levels .. seems like its been awhile since we've had a long duration mixed precipitation type event
