We often don't get any snow till after Christmas

"The ‘snow history’ of Boston, like any other thing about Boston, is interesting. Records since 1920 show that the earliest date of first snowfall (1" in a day) was Nov. 10, 1976 while the latest was Jan. 29, 1928. The mean date is Dec. 12. The earliest date for the last snowfall (1" in a day) was Nov. 24, 1936 and the latest was Apr. 28, 1987. The mean date is Mar. 20. The greatest seasonal snowfall was 107.6" in 1995-96 while the least was 8.2" in 1936-1937. The mean seasonal snowfall is 41.3". The most snow in 24 hours was recorded as 27" on Feb. 17-18, 2003. The average snow per month happens to be 12.8" for Feb. and 12" for Jan. The snowstorm climatology (1952 to 1992) for Boston shows that the average number of snowstorms (resulting in at least 1" snow) per season is 10.33, out of which six have resulted in snow in the range of 1" to 2.9"."

1936 was the record warm year in the continental United States, I think; I'm guessing that it didn't snow in Boston the rest of that winter.

And it was ALL AMERICA'S FAULT! If Stalin had been clever, he would have found a way to exploit that the way the global warming movement is doing today.
