that's about 1/2 what we got in that epic 2014-15 winter. if it's spread out nice & evenly throughout the "winter" from November - April, I'd be glad. if we get it all in just a cpl weeks in Feb, that would interesting 
I liked last winter (2018-19), didn't have to rake my roof once! Wunderground says last year Boston had an exceptionally snowless winter with only 27.4” accumulating, far short of its seasonal average of 43.8”, though a long way from its record low seasonal snowfall of just 9.0” in 1936-1937.

I remember lots of rain and wind from last year, true, not much snow
oh please, let it snow just 9 inches this winter, that would be just fine with me

I got the winter tires on yesterday. I'm seriously considering leaving them on permanently and getting a new, summer only, bike next spring. No idea though what I'm getting

Well, at least there's x-country skiing and snowshoeing. That reminds me that one of the reasons I increased my cycling, was to keep in shape for skiing.

Weather Channel predicted quite a lot of "snow shower" events that turned out to be rain
