The score so far

Posted Monday, February 15, 2010, at 4:57 PM

We seem to be trapped in a weather pattern featuring below-average temperatures and a never-ending train of weather systems. Except for the big snow on Jan. 29, we've only received minor accumulations from the rest of the systems. The storms have either been weaker than expected, or tracked too far to the north or south.

Here's the breakdown:

Name Date Approx. snowfall at Cape

Akira Jan. 6 1½ inches

Bumblebee Man Jan. 29 7½ inches

Comic Book Guy Feb. 5 ½ inch

Disco Stu Feb. 8 1 inch

Eddie Feb. 14 ½ inch

The pattern is expected to continue this week with a brief warm-up on Thursday followed by another system Friday and again on Sunday. At this point both weathermakers appear to be fairly weak systems that could bring rain or snow. If they do develop into anything, the next names on the list are "Fat Tony" and "Groundskeeper Willie".

  • This is helpful and funny at the same time! Thanks, I've been wondering about the totals, since I neglected to keep track. Keep it up!
