Scott, regarding your previous post about living on the shoreline and
having lots of snow in previous years, you're correct except:

The portion of the coastline where we live has only had more snow
in an entire winter once. That was back in 1934 or something.
We have had the second most snow this year and all but 5.5 inches
of it fell this month ... not the whole winter. That's the problem.

Supposed to have a few more inches tomorrow night. The total is within
a few inches of setting a new record for the most snow in 130 years
since records started being kept.


I get it. I was just making the point that I grew up 60 miles inland and
I think over all we generally get more snow than the CT shoreline, I
know your area is a whole 'nuther story. I remember roadside snowbanks
almost every year.


Normally we don't get as much snow as inland due to the warmer ocean
temps. This year has been different though. Combination of highs
pulling super cold arctic air down and lows developing in perfect spots
on the ocean pulling in a lot of moisture.
