Hey, chaoticmoth...question for you!

[jon_chaisson]

So one of the writing projects I'm working on takes place in the wintertime, part of it in snowy New England, but part of it further south, probably around where you are. So my question is, what's the coldest it would get down there during the first half of winter?

Of course, I'm taking a few liberties as this takes place a good distance in the future, but I'd just like to make it somewhat believeable. Put it this way--if Massachusetts was in the mid to low 20s with a bit of snow, what would your neighborhood be like?

Thanks ahead of time! :)

Mid December it would probably be in the 40's or 50's for a high, 30's at night for a low. The past couple of years have been fairly warm, so if you are going into the future you can throw global warming in there and make it pretty much whatever temp you want. :)

A good resource might be the weather underground website at least for temps, I don't know if they do precipitation on the historical data, though I imagine they would.

Thanks!

I figure by the time (pun intended) this story rolls around, we'll have somehow dealt with global warming. Not sure how...but it won't be as bad as "they" say it will be. ;)

Besides, I don't want to write a gloom-and-doom "planet is going to hell in a handbasket" science fiction book. I'll leave that to the others. ;)
