My yard is covered in snow. We had 2 stoms last week.

Cool. 10-30 years ago it would be measured in feet and not inches with mud the next week.
Transplant?

No. I'm a lifer. I remember alot more snow than this too. Im also in the Berkshires. People forget there's more to Massachusetts than western mass and Boston.

Even if you look back in the 50s there was foot upon foot in CT in December. Seems like it’s steadily gone down for 50 yrs
Thanks just being a dick calling you a transplant

We have about a foot here right now. I. A little bit of an elevation too. Up near the Mohawk trail.

The last stronghold of MA winter - I hope you fully enjoy it! Sounds nice and what a beautiful region over there.

I do love snow, but I’m OK with a winter off here and there.

If only that was now and not from 2021, eh?
This winter was disappointing. It was, thankfully, not a cold winter, but when it did get cold, it was like we got nothing for it. If it gets cold enough, I at least want some snow to go with it.

Basically over. I've got flowers sprouting in my front yard and tomorrow it's going to be almost 50. In just ~30 days it will be March

I’ve got flowers budding too but I’ll stand by my statement, winter isn’t over yet, you never know, it’s New England, we’ll get something before springtime.

You mean Autumn?
No-Go-Rt128 t1_j6990ji wrote
Uhh, no. Spring. Autumn isn’t as cold as it used to be. It’s wetter. Hence spring and mud season. The difference is now we have an Everything Dies Spring and Flowers Out Mud Season. Or whatever you want to call them. Every season is warmer and wetter now. Thanks, Climate Change & Conservative Scum

Bro says what? We just got back-to-back snow storms. A couple lows next week are in the negatives. You know February always gets bitter cold. Just you wait. Winter is far from over. Those flowers will die.

Feb is on average warmer than january
Edit: I guess people like downvoting facts... Here's climate data for Worcester, for example: Worcester Climate
I invite you to link me to any city's climate data in MA that shows Feb is colder than Jan.

You sound like the climate change deniers saying BUT IT SNOWED 🥴

Not even close bud. But good try

Keep denying reality
Back to back snowstorms lmfao
Linux-Is-Best t1_j6cxd61 wrote
What snow? Where? All we have is mostly rain here.
A_Man_Who_Writes t1_j69vt3m wrote
Did I ever deny the warming? And did we not just get back to back snowstorms? I was simply responding to the fact that the person said winter was pretty much over. It isn’t. I did not, by saying that, deny climate change. Go find someone else to be a shit to.

It’s over for all intensive purposes, it’s Seattle MA now

and the forecast for next weekend is for temps to not even come close to getting about freezing.

the horror. Might need a sweater
Linux-Is-Best t1_j678weu wrote
Yep. For the past few years, February has felt more like March, and March more like April. I suspect after the 1st week or so, I can suspect days I can forget my jacket.

When I took this photo in January of 2021, the ponds in my area (NE Mass) had ice-fishers all over them. Today? All open water.

In the last few years, February feels like March, and March is like April. I give the 1st week or so, before I can sometimes forget my jacket.
