New England Winter 2024-25 Bantering, Whining, and Sobbing Thread

Our 11" wet snowfall has compacted to 6 or 7".  The last couple of days have made it above freezing for a few hours each afternoon.  Down below freezing now and looks to stay awhile.

I need to snow blow a big area for our dog.  If anyone misses snow come on up for a visit.  1:45 trip up Rt 93 from downtown Boston

This winter sucks on 11/30? Lol. But ya, this is the place to whine and cry.  Might want to give it a little while. But to each their own. 

Damn, you found me lol. Idk it just looks like we're squandering a golden opportunity for the first half of the month. I feel with CC we don't get as many windows of opportunity as even 10-15 years ago.

I figured I'd come here to troll as well, since enough of these stupid posts permeate the regular threads anyway... Are you new to this area?? 99 times out of 100 (generalizing) we don't have any appreciable snow especially Bradley area south until at least Christmas. At least you put this here instead of the more learned thread

99 times out of 100...yeah I don't think so man. I've lived here for 31 out of 33 years so no, I'm not new. I started following weather in 2000-01 and since then we've had appreciable snow prior to Christmas at least 7 or 8 times. Granted most of those were in the 2000s ('02, '03, '05, '07, '08 and '09) but yeah, you're exaggerating big time. It hasn't happened much recently.

Well yeah 99 out of 100 is a stretch, but it's far closer to that than not. I've been following the weather in this area since 1977. In general there's not much snow in December even where I grew up up in Granby which generally has far more snow than you do in The Fringe season time frame. If you look at the average for Bradley for December snowfall many times if we did get any it was the last week of the month or so. All I'm saying is expecting early December to be full on winter month with accumulating snows is not typical and not logical for this general area.

It's roughly 1/3 for a White Christmas in the Hartford area. I wouldn't call that anywhere close to "99 out of 100" but whatever

I'm just saying when you have a pattern that's a couple weeks colder than climo it's nice to cash in and we often did in the 2000s. Just had a rough stretch of Decembers in recent years which I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with CC but you would probably have a better grasp on that since you have been following winter twice as long.

I had to live through winters of the 1980s which make this little stretch were in now look like nothing. If I remember correct without looking at notes the only two Winters that weren't terrible where 1982 and 1987. It wasn't until the table swung in winter in 1992/93 that we started getting appreciable Winters again. This stuff happens. Look back decades prior to that and you can see the same thing

07 wiped out a good pack on Christmas Eve in short order.

I don't think your 80's perception is entirely accurate.  Yeah there were some stinkers but two good ones, and maybe two? average/ok

Well according to what i have they were mostly quite a bit below average. And now this isn't my guide as to what was a bad winter, however 1984 through 1988 in Suffield I had a total of five snow days. One of them was for a storm that never even made it to us, IIRC it just grazed Southern Connecticut.
