The most snow since 1872


This story was written by the Associated Press.  I saw a link on Twitter moments ago,, posted by The Blaze.  I clicked on the Twitter link, and saw the full story.

The City of Boston has now had the most snowfall in one winter since 1872.

Not 1972.  A whole century of weather-related records has just been broken.

This is the complete story.  The article on The Blaze, dated today, also published an uninteresting photo.  I won't repeat their mistake.
Boston’s miserable winter is now also its snowiest season going back to 1872.

The official measurement of 108.6 inches at Logan International Airport Sunday night topped a season record of 107.9 inches set in 1995-96.

The final 2.9 inches came in a snowstorm that was relatively tame after a record-setting monthly snowfall of 64.9 inches in February.

The worst previous single month was January 2005 when 43.3 inches fell.

This official winter snowfall, measured from December through February this year, was 99.4 inches.  That was the snowiest for the winter period, beating 91.5 inches in 1993-94.

The season snowfall record is measured from July 1 through June 30, and takes in autumn and spring.

Forecasters note snow can still mount up this year. March 1993 had 38.9 inches, and March 1916 had 33.
Subscribers to The Blaze can add their own comments to articles that appear on the website.  I liked the first comment that was made, so I'll repeat it.

"Save us, AlGore!"
