SNE gets NCP all the time in the winter and two big NCP events in mid-winter is par for the course everywhere in New England. Weather outlook not being favorable right now seems to be a result of the La Nina pattern, but take a look at the
Mansfield Stake. The Stake has been above average almost every day of the season going back to November 3rd, even taking into account the last rain/freeze event.
This winter has been extremely generous considering an unfavorable La Nina pattern doing its best to ruin the party. As previously mentioned, Northern Vermont is 100% open right now due to three feet of new snow in the past two weeks. I know it is not white down in SNE, but that is not where it counts (speaking as a former MA resident and having been there). Here in Plymouth, we still have above average snow depth. We might have to pay a little now due to our above average November and December. I believe powderfreak is fond of saying that Mother Nature loves her averages. No doom and gloom here, we take the hit, look forward to the next storm, and make the best of things.
