Boston’s Ridiculous February Snowfall In One Chart

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

wow

There are flurries, snowstorms, blizzards¹ — and then there’s what’s going on in Boston. So far in February, 58.5 inches of snow have fallen there. That’s more than the total seasonal snowfall that Boston received in 95 of the previous 124 winters (77 percent). It beats the previous all-time monthly record (January 2005) by 15.2 inches.

And this data undersells what Boston has gone through in 2015. In January and February so far, a total of 92.8 inches of snow have hit Boston. That’s 22.9 inches more than the previous two-month record (January and February 1994), and it’s greater than the total seasonal snowfall of all but two (98 percent) of the last 124 winters.

In potentially worse news for Boston, we’re not even close to being through February. According to the National Weather Service, more snow is possible later this week and weekend. Sorry.

I don't need a chart. I see it in my sleep. it has been crazy the past 3 weeks, somewhere in the area of 8 feet, plus the temperature hasn't hit 32 for a while now. Yesterday and today have been the most pleasant in the low to mid 20's. We've had a few nights below zero, days were it barely hit double digits. You have to be a tough liberal to live here.

But there's no such thing as a tough liberal. At least that's what I've been hearing...

Stop listening to blowhard VJ conservatives that are afraid of their own shadows. Listen to Reagan, he was a tough conservative and a man I admired.

All elites are liberals. We know that.

It was some random person in the site discussion forum. Oh my, that was priceless.

He said that I was one of the VJ elite and that I was probably a liberal too.
