Hey wait a minute! I was right!

In my last blog entry, on February 9th, I indicated that I thought that we had broken the back of winter, and that we had seen the last of the really cold air for the season. Well waddya know? I was right!

While February did produce over 15 inches of snow at Bradley Airport, there were no monster storms, nor was the cold as deep or unrelenting as we had seen in January. In fact, the winter had effectively ended once the upper level pattern shifted as it did last month.

And even though March began on the chilly side, temperatures have reached the mid-50s on a number of occasions, and just about all the precipitation for the month so far has been rain. And there doesn't seem to be any really cold air around that might bring a return of Old Man Winter.

I do, however, remember a few Yankee Stadium opening days, that were played in snow, and this IS New England, so let's not rule anything out just yet.
