Book Description
Excerpt from Climatological Data, New England, Vol. 63: January, 1951 The month opened, as did the three previous months, with a warm front passing over the Section, which, by the 4th raised the daytime temperatures to the 6o's in the Southern Division and to the 50's in the Northern Division, with thawing day and.night over all New England. The moderate snow cover in the interior highlands, which had permitted one weekend of winter sports was much reduced. In other parts of the Section the thin cover entirely disappeared on the 3d. The maxima of the 4th and 5th approximated the date records and at the Section Center exceeded them. On the night of the 7 - 8th there occurred the first general substantial snowstorm of the season, depositing 4 to 9 inches over much of the Section ex cept near the south coast. Hazardous driving conditions occasioned many skidding accidents-four deaths were attributed to storm causes. An extended mild period, devoid of storms, ensued for the next two weeks. The snow cover vanished from coastal and extreme southern areas, and shrank elsewhere except in northern Maine, where some stations had more than twenty inches on the ground in the middle of the month. Under the prevailing pressure patterns no Arctic air masses could intrude the Section and even the north ernmost stations had no sub-zero minima.
