Winter Is FAR From Being Over: I have seen a lot of comments out there in the meteorology community in the last week or so saying that winter is already over here in Southern New England. These comments are extremely premature and downright incorrect as I do think that winter is very much far from being over.
It’s worth mentioning that here in Western & Central Mass, 75 percent of major winter storms during moderate to strong El Niño winters (like this winter) occur after January 20th.
In addition, the halfway point of winter in terms of snowfall is actually around February 8th during El Niño years.
This means that I’m not canceling winter at all!!
In fact, remember when I sent out my winter forecast back on October 31st that I said February was going to be our "big" month in terms of winter weather chances across Western and Central Mass. I still very much believe that. I also still think that snow totals across the area will end up being near average by the time everything is said and done.
The point is that we still have a VERY long ways to go and winter is very far from being over.
