Northeastern U.S. Weather

Yea, Tony, the long term statistics may not back this up but, anecdotally and from my (sometimes faulty) memory, it just seems like we don't get as much snow and cold weather, at least in southern to central New England as we used to and I've lived here for 60 plus years.
 
I have always concentrated my Northeast ski/snow analysis focus on upper New England. I have little doubt that the rain numbers are worse for lower New England, Catskills, etc. The CHANGE in rain vs. snow incidence vs. before 2000 is a different subject and I have not seen enough data to draw conclusions.

I have lived in SoCal for 60+ years and while the rain days in ski area numbers are low by NE standards the difference between the 1978-2000 and 2001-2024 numbers is significant.
