Jeremy Reiner reports it's been 1,019 days since the last time Boston has seen six or more inches of snow in a single day, the fifth longest such streak since 1891.

... (on Reddit) we haven't even gotten 4" of snow in that time. By far the longest streak without 4" since record keeping started.

I know times have changed a lot since 1891, but I doubt there was any snow (let alone 4+ inches) during the summer even then.

On a rational, environmental level, I'm depressed as I know it's just an indication of how much humans have fucked things up and things are only getting worse.

But on a personal, let-it-all-burn level, I'm delighted because I hate snow (in Boston) would be happy if another flake never graced the city streets again.

I moved to Florida to get away from the snow, so of course it just stopped snowing up there!

…. snow. Take away the wind. Both are on my holiday wish list.
