Why weather averages won't work anymore

If you have lived in the Northeast in the US you probably have noticed Boston has recieved a large quanity of snow.

With the passing of yet another snow storm, Boston's has a new record for the SNOWIEST MONTH ON RECORD. Is this January really that famous to be remembered.

How far do you have to go back to see the previous titleholder?

Try February 2003!

Meterology has averages, but no longer will I abide by them.

I'll give you one last example. April 2004 was the rainest month in a CENTURY.

Believe in averages? I think not...

It seems that big blizzards are the norm rather than the exception. How quickly we forget.
