But weather patterns aren't a random coin flip... they are cyclical. Doesn't mean it will be a great winter next year but odds might be more in our favor now.
After all the snow that has fallen since the start of FEB, this Blizzard is sure going to put the icing on the cake for an epic FEB over the East Coast. My cousins sister lives in Boston and I would love to experience one of these Nor"Easter's!
