Imagine if all that rain had been snow

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.

This is the first time we have had two consecutive seasons without a 4" snowfall, so that's the big jump. This is kind of a silly chart since the progressions were that it took until 2012 to have a single year without 4", and then another 112 years to get to two.

Longest consecutive day streaks between n inches of snow:

n=1: 386 ending 12/15/1937 (the winter of 1936-1937 had 4" of snow on Nov 24, and no other day after had more than 1"). Current: 330 days, 5th place
n=2: 664 ending 1/8/1974. No day with >2" of snow between March '72 and Jan '74 (only year with two seasons). Current: 348 days, 5th place
n=3: 688 days ending 1/13/2013. Current 680, second place. Likely to overtake 2013.
n=4: 1020 days, current
n=5: 1054 days ending 12/25/1909. Current: 1020, 2nd. Will we have 5" within the next month?
n=6: 1772 days ending 12/11/1992, about 5 years. Current: 1020 (5th place)
n=9: 2241 days ending 2/17/1952, about 6 years. Current: 1047, 14th place.

That said, at higher snowfalls you get into big storms which may span two days and xmacis doesn't do well with that natively.

When there finally is a real snowfall - combine several years of everybody being out of practice with several years of being used to the police not giving a shit about traffic enforcement. Will be a REAL good day to stay home and especially to not be a pedestrian
