    The start of winter in 2014 saw significant snowfalls in New England in December that continued well into March. It was a record year. Typically we do not get significant snow in southern new england (6" or more in a single fall) until mid to late December. This year we will see 60 degrees on xmas eve, which led to my comment. Of course we will probably see snow in February and early March, though some years we don't, and elevations over 2,500 feet will probably have snow. However, the long range forecast is not promising for much snow or even below freezing temperatures through mid January into February. Bad news for snowshoers and those who prefer winter conditions over mid July conditions.

    Just stating a fact. This past year was mild for the amount that it snowed in time, but not for the amount of snow that fell. There was a shorter season that dumped much of the snow in about 2 weeks. All of which was in February.

    You remember correctly. We didn't see any snow on the trail until the first of February.
