THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2022 Page 5 That would be higher than 2018 (51.0 inches), 2017 (50.9 inches), 2016 (41.2 inches) and 2014 (50.2 inches). The only mark of the past 1012 years of snowfall totals that seems out of reach for this year's total, which could easily be 7090 inches, would appear to be 2015, when 108.6 inches of snow fell during a whopping 21 days of snowfall events. At this point, however, "NevKnox said that state-of-the-art forecasts from various sources are highly accurate; there is always the possibility of an unexpected, unforeseen shift in a weather pattern. As weather mavens in this area can attest, that is why most of the media-driven weather forecasts often "hedge their bets" by off ering explanations of different "models" of what could potentially happen, if certain variables came to light. Already this year, the greater Boston area's snowfall been more than double the previous two year's full season snowfalls. So far, 48.1 inches of snow has fallen this winter, surpassing the very light winter snowfall totals of the past three years — 2021 (21.8 inches), 2020 (21.6 inches), 2019 (38.7 inches)— and close to being more than four of the next fi ve years before that. The Blizzard of 2022, on January 29-30, was about half of that total for this year, a 23.8-inch deluge of snow. After today's snowfall, forecast to be between 8-12 inches in greater Boston, this year's total would be 56-60 inches. er say never" has to be the mantra, as another blizzard day of 20-plus inches of snow could jack up the totals and as we all well know, we are far from out of the woods, even when March arrives. It is a rare year when no snow falls in March at all around greater Boston. Spring season offi - cially begins on Sunday, March 20— three weeks away this weekend— but that calendar date means nothing to the dynamic duo of neither Mother Nature or 'Ole' Man Winter. They will each change seasons when they are good and ready, calendar or no calendar, and not before. Happy shoveling and plowing this weekend, everyone.
