Boston Smashes Monthly Snowfall Record: This Is What It Looks Like Right Now
For some it may have been the hottest year on record (if only with the use of seasonally-adjusted, well, seasons). For Bostonians, the past 30 day stretch has just smashed all-time monthly snowfall records.
Just another 15 inches of snow, and this will be the all-time highest snowfall season in Boston history:

What is causing all this atmospheric havoc is the latest Winter Storm to slam the Northeast: Neptune, which as the Weather Channel summarizes, "delivers a triple threat of snow, high winds and bitter wind chills to areas still struggling to recover from a series of major snowstorms virtually unprecedented in modern times."
Here are the key things you need to know about Winter Storm Neptune right now:
- Low pressure is offshore of coastal New England and is pulling northward toward Nova Scotia.
- Widespread wind damage occurred Saturday evening due to high winds along and behind the arctic front accompanying Winter Storm Neptune; structural damage has been reported in the Carolinas, and more than 200,000 customers lost power Saturday evening.
- Neptune has already brought up to 8 inches of snow to parts of Michigan. Lake-effect snow is lingering over parts of Upper Michigan and northwest Indiana, with winter storm warnings and advisories in effect.
- In the Northeast, blizzard warnings continue for parts of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine. These warnings include the Boston metropolitan area.
- Parts of Massachusetts have already seen up to 22 inches of new snow.
- High wind warnings continue from southern Connecticut to western North Carolina, including New York and Washington, D.C. Sunday.
Winter Storm Neptune's impact will be magnified by a large field of strong winds, even in areas outside the heaviest snow, and a sharp drop in temperatures that will lead to dangerously low wind chills in the wake of the storm.
This comes on the heels of an almost three-week snow siege that has smashed records in parts of New England, including Boston and Worcester. Much of that snow is still on the ground due to a prolonged cold snap, and that snow will compound the misery from this storm as Neptune's winds blow not only the new snow, but snow already on the ground.
The forecast timing and potential impacts are below the radar image. Check back with us at weather.com and The Weather Channel frequently as we update this forecast.
What is most odd is that for many in the Northeast and around the Great Lakes - one of America's primary economic hubs - the winter of 2015 has been far, far worse than the sporadic "Polar Vortex" of 2014. And yet, not a peep about how the "inclement" weather is about to result in an annualized $80 billion of lost economic output, which is what the weathermen, pardon, economists want the world to believe is what caused the economic swoon of Q1, 2015. That's ok, though: we have the West Coast port strike to blame for that in a few short weeks.

It's not "every snow storm." If you can read, it's record monthly snowfall.
But we were told our children would never see snow again due to global warming,lol.
My Bell Pepper plants are setting new fruit here in Sunny SoCal. The fruit trees are also starting to blossom.
It's'so f**king expensive to live under dictator Moonbeam, that I have to grow my own food. ;-)
I'm worried that mine will start blossoming in the next few weeks only to get smacked down by an April freeze.
Just got a couple of little limes off of my backyard dwarf tree in SoCaliland. Sliced up tangy with a little sea salt and a coldie.
Normal mild early spring in the SanJuan Islands/puget Sound...end of march...Its full on spring here...frogs, trees budding..Month and a half earlyer than EVER, and I think your numbers/charts are bullshit, grew up in Eastern Coonecticut, this old timer remembers lots of cold snowy day's with snow up to my teenage ass...
hope the govt-humping retarded fucks freeze to death up there.
Just imagine how much worse this would be without all the global whoreming. /s
little chilly here this morning. must be 60 degrees.
i can't understand how people like that weather enough to want to live there(or anywhere cold half the year) on purpose, but some do.
It is a winter...
You guys forget, warming causes cooling. That would make this weather catastrophic global warming.
It's CATASTROPHIC! WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!! FIRST YOUR GOING TO PUKE, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!!
RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!!
Just a test.

I don't mind snow blowing the driveways but the dogs need to go somewhere and it is a bitch making paths around my hilly yard. At my elderly parents' house they insist on paths to their bird feeders in addition to paths for their dog. Took about 4 hours this morning but I got it done before the wind picked up and the temperatures started falling. Broke the shifter on the snow blower and a shear pin. Ordered new belts to go with these other parts.
Long snow macbine manufacturers!
Now that is funny, a path to the birdfeeders, you know those birds have got to get the feeder somehow, bwahahahah. I'm feeling humorous today for some reason...
The cat made it !
They can use LEGS, ROFL.... americans...
Soldiers dying away from their families .... Charlie Manson gets conjugal visits .... thank you Governor Moonbeam !
We wintered some folks...
190 Celsius here . Respect they metric system .
The Ice Age Cometh.
Global Climate Change .... is resetting the climate extremes .... expect a colder than normal Ice Age !
How about embedded twitter pics next time?
Reality must fit my ideology, reality must fit my ideology.

But you skeptics are right if WUWT data is better than NASA.
Science requires that "skeptics" are correct until a proof is constructed and validated.
The collected data is not the problem; it is the "adjustment", "gap-filling", and "blending" of modeled and observed data that bugs me the most. Some of the work is so sloppy in the formation of the hypothesis that observed cooling is used to validate warming.
Well, that website linked to says, "This website is produced by the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine."
So obviously no bias there. Hence truth. Hence believable. Hence quotable. Hence fundable by those that have an agenda.
D'oh! One too many hences...
Hide the decline.

Been getting a bit nippy out there. Avid readers of the Q99x2 posts will know our position on the coming ice age. Currently I have a paper to prepare on how the English basically ripped themselves to pieces in the mid 1600s because of the Maunder Minimum.
Here is a link to John Casey and what he has to say about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQanWtkSDHE
My position on the coming Ice Age?
Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.
It's only news since it happened in the Northeast Bankster Corridor. Anywhere else and it's a non-event.
The reptilians in D.C. & W.S. have to jump back on their "heating pads" and it's news.
Hopefully, the heating pads will aggravate their pulsating hemorrhoids.
lol
Bloody funny right there, Cunny!
The western half of the US appears to be a bit warmer than expected while the eastern parts are a bit colder. On average, everything, therefore, is just right.
QED.
Came here for the shortsighted, mocking "Global Warming" comments by the typical ZHers as they type away in mom's basement.
Not disappointed.
Good for you, here's a lollypop!
If global warming wasn't such a scam.... if you support this horesehit, then maybe you should stop breathing. Afterall, you're existence contributes to it. Set yourself on fire and fuck off already.
Now THAT was a good retort UGrev!
And Al Gore's carbon footprint is what, again?
Algore doesn't just have a carbon footprint; he's gotten so big he now has a carbon buttprint.
Goes with being a butthead, I guess.
Gorey is a psychopathic zombie.
I have heard that line of reasoning many times about different situations. Typically goes like "killing yourself would help solve X Y or Z problem, so kill yourself". Goes for global warming, overpopulation, using too many resources, etc. Usual stuff.
The problem with that is that helping to solve a problem is not enough. One desires to solve a problem, not just help to solve it. No one will kill themselves to solve overpopulation.
Think about it as an optimzation problem... Your own life worsens a problem, but your life gives you a chance to fix it. If your contribution is potentially greater than the problems caused by yourself, then there is no incentive to commmit suicide.
Practical example: Overpopulation... What would it be more effective, to kill yourself or to become a camp guard? I mean, you kill two measly people, just two persons, and you contributed twice as much to solving the "human problem" as bare suicide would have done. Imagine a thousand!
See my point? Its all about balancing pros and cons.
OK I think I got it.
Go kill 2 people and bonus use a baseball bat and don't set them on fire.
Now we can mock you for being such a dumbshit to believe that nonsense. Thanks!
Nothing short sighted about mocking snow...Boston had almost as much snow in 1920.
Boston Strong grab your shovels. Time to go to work. Or maybe, the Guberment will come to your rescue. Just stay in your homes while DHS/NSA/FEMA/CIA/FBI...all come to your rescue!
Another liberal strong hold.. fuck them up the ass.
Right because finance, the markets, and coverage of it is just a huge bastion of liberal thought.
Right because LACK INTELLIGENCE of finance, the markets, and coverage of it is just a huge bastion of liberal thought.
There fixed it for ya! honkydodo
Go ask Krugman, he thinks we're not in debt enough, you moron!
Good to see the ZH cunts out in force, cheering on the suffering of other Americans from behind the comfort of their screens. Pussies - pretty much all of you.
As a veteran of many Maine winters I'll just say: it's not suffering, it's just life. You do what you need to do. If you can, and it's needed, you help your neighbors.
whatever you want to call it, it's disgusting to see the pubescent schadenfreude on display here.
"Gold, guns, and being selfish pricks." The ZH creed.
I'll take gold, guns, and being a selfish prick any day over fiat, disarmament and collectivism.
If you're disgusted, then simply fuck off.
P.S.: I believe it was Locke who demonstrated that all willful human action is inherently selfish. If you help your neighbor, then you value that over not helping your neighbor, thereby alleviating some personal unease. But never mind that, I'm sure you fancy yourself as an arbiter of what constitutes selfish and selfless behavior.
Nice that you paint me as some "arbiter of what consitute selfish." Laughing at collapsing buildings, economic hardship (for the thousands of hourly folks unable to get to their jobs), etc, isn't some selfish gene in action or even nihilism -- it's pure malice and it is celebrated here by the likes of yourself.
You guys decry what has happened to America, the artifice of fiat, the trashiness of pop culture but you don't think twice to spit on Americans you have never met just because of some bullshit grudge or another.
We used to help each other out because we were all we had. Now the self-described selfish pricks run the show -- from the oligarchs manipulating the system to their own ends to the individuals so full of bitterness and hate that they delight in anyone's misfortune.
I sure as hell wouldn't want you as a neighbor.
I admit that I wished hemerrhoids on reptilians, who I'd gladly spit on.
I lived in the rural northeast for nearly 30 years. All I know is that if you're not prepared for the winter there, then it's your problem. If you are properly prepared, then you take it in stride. My comments on this article have more to do with the disproportionate coverage northeast snow storms receive in the media. There is much worse hardship elsewhere in the world than that experienced when you can't download your new i-shit app because the CATV cable was downed by an ice-laden maple tree. It's winter; get over it, or move south.
Regardless of your opinion of ZH, it's no place for the sanctimonious.
Sure, there's a valid point to being prepared. But there's also the fact that this is an unprecedented series of storms and people who rely on public transport to get to their jobs are out their wages, nevermind business owners barely getting by losing what is now weeks of revenue. Did you laugh at New Orleans for being unprepared for Katrina because, hey, it's the south, hurricanes happen, be prepared?
I hate the system as much as the next guy but the gleeful cynicism on display here is indistinguishable from simple evil. Everyday folks not just turning their backs on each other but celebrating any hardship of their countrymen is an appetite for cruelty I can not fathom.
I know, I know.. "It's ZH; get over it or leave."
ever see the guy that walked 21 miles (one way) to work in snow, for years??? true story, they did a crowdfund and bought him a new car, and much more, quit whinning
You are making my point here by parroting the media and their proclaimations of "an unprecedented series of storms."
Do you remember what happened a mere three weeks ago with the storm of the millenium? Right! Downgraded to junk!
Every storm and every winter must be hyped as "unprecedented" in order to attract interest, and you're buying this crap and magnifying its gravity in the greater scheme of things. There's nothing new here, bro.
It's not about opinions, it's about simple quantity of snow. Go read this link (which doesn't include the foot that fell last night), look up "unprecedented" and then come back here and spew some more hate.
ttp://www.boston.com/news/weather/weather_wisdom/2015/02/the_great_snow_of_201...
Yawn ...
Anything can be labelled "unprecedented" depending on how the criteria are defined.
There's my "hate," brother.
As an aside, was this highly acclaimed comment of yours meant to be sarcastic? I'm having my doubts.
I guess one can't be against government mania but still give a shit enough about their fellow man to the extent of not openly celebrating their misfortune. Since you're now digging in my comment history for distraction I'll bail here.
I could care less about sympathy but actively cheering hardship shows just how ill this country has gotten.
And who would want a bunch of neighbors that don't question a police state like the coward Bostonians who obeyed unconstitutional orders, believed a bunch of lies, and then waved their flags like buffoons? You can have them.
You tell em.
As a former Yankee myself, this shit ain't nothin'. We live for this. When we were kids we called this kind of snow white gold. Name your price snow.
Even the cheap bastard pudgy 40-ish guys would cough up rather than shovel heart attack snow.
@Bastiat, Agreed. No place like home but I'm busy here restoring Boston.
It's working too, I have all the blue collar guys in Southie sayting "Pig Fuckah" with a Maine accent. Same on the South Shore.....
Holy projection, Batman!
So you must be one of those specially privileged and protected shit stains that would not even know what end of a shovel to use.
Suffering !? What the fuck would you know about it?
Hah, classic.. projection indeed. I've moved thousands of pounds of snow this last week. With a shovel.
Got a peer review on that?
Only peer reviewed and properly conforming claims are allowed.
This is fight club. You must be looking for the whining fucking maggot bleeding cunt club. We call it the huffpo. Now be gone with you and your bleeding cunt.
"this is fight club" lol.. Spoken with all the wrath of the unloved teenage boy.
Haha,
I hope you didn't pull out your neutering stitches shoveling those 'thousands of lbs. of snow", Sackless Sally.
oh yes, big balls you must have attacking someone over the internet. Jesus, I keep forgetting it's a weekend, the teenagers are at home and busily looking for places to vent their pubescent rage.
So now that you have confessed, you going to move the ball down the field or does ZH Lucy keep pulling the ball back from you Charlie?
Yes. I've been reading on Facebook about your sons from different mothers how their father runs rum up his ass and forces them to drink from it. It's very sad to hear their circumstance.
What do you have against pussy or pussies either the furry kind (that go meow) or the slot-C kind?
Your nonprofit tireless labors to advance progressivism by chastising those you feel aren't in your tribe?
You must sleep well at night ecowarrior.
Is that a computer-generated jibe? nonprofit ecowarrior? wtf?
I'll call out people celebrating other's misfortune any time I see it. If you've no problem with folks here happily posting "It's Boston, good, fuck them" then I'd ask how you sleep at night. Or is immorality also a sedative?
Of all the insanity that is regularly posted in the ZH comment section, that buches your panties?
You Better call upstairs to mom to put another can of Spaghetti-o's on. It's going to be a long day battlin' evil on the tubeZ, patriot.
You make a good point. This is, after all, echo-chamber troll-town where all you need to do get upvotes is to post another "fuck the fed" or something about "odumbo" and wait for your circle-jerk pals to swarm around and clickety-clickety their hive-mind affirmation.
Ever since Obama took office it's been one snow job after another.
NASA's map "2014: The Hottest Year Ever!" was all orange except for a blue spot over the USA. Global warming is like Obama's economic recovery -- it's always happening everywhere except where you happen to be.
The Hottest Year Ever...after seasonal adjustments and data adjustments and Previous Warming Period(s) adjustments. Hell these Global...fill in the blank...folks could get a great job at BLS.
Wait - am I supposed to care?
Snow diving?
Wicked retaahded.
Where is that dumbass Donald Trump to ask where is global warming. Winter being here does not mean there is no global warming. Global warming/cooling is signified by extremes, hot and cold.
Global Cooling?
nope.
Hmmm.
Global Warming?
nope
Hmmm.
CLIMATE CHANGE!
* Jon Lovitz voice*
"Yeah...Yeah, that's the ticket..."
it's called weather
Maybe warm Atlantic Ocean temperatures are contributing to the snowfall record:

They will live.
MoM seasonally adjusted snowfall better than expected !
So bullish coming monday.
I am starting to understand it it now.
What's the bigger hoax? Hope and change or global warming?
Hope and change. Global warming...not so much.
Pandering for upvotes?
Ooohhh speak of the the father of unloved children. You really shouldn't be doing that to your kids.
Wasn't there some nuclear power plant that just about melted down during the 1st big storm?
Beaches are packed in California. What is snow?

The earth has a fever. The center of the earth is very hot, several millions of degrees.
-Al Gore
N-E US winter weather != climate change. Middle europe having another quite mild winter; last "winter" winter took a rain check altogether...
OMG, SACRIFICE YOUR FIRSTBORN< CAPITAL< AND LIBERTY ASAP! SAVE THE PLANET!
Listen, B.S., yes, it is my personal (and professional) believe that the globe as a whole is warming. And it has absolutely nothing to do with Al Gore who is just a bloody politician trying to make a living off other people (like most politicians), in his case using heave taxation on this phenomenon. The case for a global warming though is much stronger than for a cooling IMHO. I'm aware this is not a very popular thing to say here for many ZHers, so be it, and it sure as hell ain't got shyte to do with saving the planet. I'm not worried about the planet the least. Humans, much more so. So hold your breath and stay cool! Over and out. Cheers.
@ Janus, How are you making out on the Cape?
Fuck Boston.
It couldn't have happened to a more disingenuous, puritanical, pseudo intellectual bunch of folks.
Hey, It's still better than...Detriot; San Francisco; Austin or NYC. Boston isn't so bad and bet you never ate at the North End. Lot's of nice places on the waterfront too and some good development over the last 5 years. Some of it may be a bit pricey but this place has been upwardly mobile. Definately world class and you should take the boat in at night and walk around, It's fucking beautiful, safe and classy. Let you in on a secret, check out the South Shore sometime. I'm from Maine and love both places. (never thought I'd say that).
Bullish for revisionist history.
Shoveling those rooves- roofs- whatever is going to make a lot of Basston roofing contractors very happy come spring.
Start from the peak down to the eaves or you'll be sorry, roof shovellers.
The next big ZH headline...in 1 to 2 weeks....
Insurance companies need bailout for structural damage caused by storms in Massachusetts. I shit you not.
Looks like a big plus for building materials. Short renewable energy.
God damn that Florida flat or weak sloped roof (engineering) for commercial buildings. What the fuck were they thinking.
Let alone flooded basements (and other related flood damage) when this shit melts.
http://www.accuweather.com/en/features/trend/snowstorms_blizzard_roof_co...
==========
I can tell you that a lot of damage has already occurred. They bailed out the banks/useless cars companies/cronies in the renewables business and themselves. They still find money to poke their noses in someone elses business AND wage fucking war where we have no place being in. Look at our crumbling infrastructure. Look at useless crony engineering and on and on... These asshats can't even get the simplest thing right.
I hope they enjoy their stay at the counrty club. They surely deserve it /S.
"Just another 15 inches of snow, and this will be the all-time highest snowfall season in Boston history:"
But that is nothing, compared to the last Ice Age.
One mile of ice over where I sit. Long Belize!
Global warming predicts this. It predicts lots of snow and cold winters. Of course it also predicts no snow and warm winters so it really can't lose.
Fucking weather reports? On Zerohedge? Seriously....?
Brian Williams says he's been stranded for three days in an igloo.
Brian Williams is reporting from the igloo that he saved a baby seal from a polar bear who was so desperate for food because of global warming. Back to you Tom.
severe variance in seasonal temperatures are a product of global warming.
