Quote:Bean Town set a new record for snowiest seven-day period in the city's history with 40.2 inches, the National Weather Service reported. Boston's average annual snowfall is 47 inches. The city has already gotten more than that over the last two weeks.

Quote:As of 1 p.m. Monday, 73.9 inches had fallen this winter at Logan Airport, where snow is officially measured.

"For the past 14 days it seems like we have had a constant snow removal operation in Boston," Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said.

Boston also set a record with the most snow in 30 days with 60.8 inches.

The previous record was 58.8 inches that fell before, during and after the Blizzard of 1978. However, this time, that record was set in 17 days, not 30.

And that's the real concern! I have two large lawns and will be removing a lot of sod this spring because I can see water rationing coming down the pike.

OK. Relatively no snow. My daily travels sometimes take me into the mountains. Places that consistently have 6 to 8 feet of snow in February have none this year. Last year was the first time I've seen that. Now two years in a row. Not good I fear.

Interesting stuff, Chuck. We MUST be increasingly aware of these kind of reports because while we almost certainly can't do anything about the weather we should be looking at ways to cope.

First about the author of this piece: Good credentials:

About Live Science:
LiveScience
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LiveScience is a science news website run by Purch, which it purchased from Imaginova in 2009.[1] Stories and editorial commentary are typically syndicated to major news outlets, such as Yahoo!, MSNBC, AOL, and Fox News.

LiveScience was originally launched in 2004, but was subsequently shut down and re-launched in 2007. LiveScience covers scientific breakthroughs, research ventures and odd facts from around the world in an online newsmagazine format.[2]


So, the writer is qualified, the publication authentic although essentially a conduit to sell stories to other outlets, and we can accept the information as good stuff. For as far as it goes. Tree rings give us good evidence of past weather patterns, but is only one source of information about climate of long ago.
For instance, from the article:
scientists predict a strong possibility of megadroughts before 2100 in the Southwest and Central Plains. There is an 85 percent chance of a drought lasting 35 years or more between 2050 and 2100, said study co-author Toby Ault, a climate scientist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. [The Worst Droughts in US History]

Notice that the reporter fails to footnote the source for the scientists who "predict a strong possibility of megadroughts before 2100 in the Southwest and Central Plains."
She (author) cites only Toby Ault, a Cornell climate scientist. When making sweeping statements, I'd like to see more authorities who confirm finding like this.

Still, grist for the mill, and we should be aware and concerned. As we face what is certain to be real changes in our weather we need the best, most complete, and academic sources possible.

Replying to my own post. I have not shame.

Heard an interview yesterday on NPR with a scientist from the Goddard Institute who echoed all the same concerns as the article above.
Doesn't look like we can do a lot to prevent it.
We can, to some degree, prepare for it says the guy from Goddard. We should.

I have grandchildren that I care about.

But this sticking weather we have been having is depressing! 61 degrees F at my place today. I have an acquaintance in Boston who gets to play in the snow all day. (Plays because he can't get to work). Some people just get all the luck.

Quote:Record-breaking heat on the North Coast in January and early February, including last Saturday’s scorcher of 80 degrees in Santa Rosa that obliterated the previous record for the date and tied the city with one in Texas as the hottest places in the 48 contiguous United States, has resulted in the unprecedented transformation of some vineyards.

Weather forecasters believe the cold air will help break more than 100 daily record lows, NBC News reports.
