When Nate Silver, the stats-driven founder and editor-in-chief of FiveThirtyEight, says Boston is “probably gonna get more snow,” well, Boston is probably gonna get more snow.

Silver posted the above tweet shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday morning, including a link to FiveThirtyEight’s predictably brainy piece, “Has the Snow Finally Stopped?” History tells us that it hasn’t.

“In more than 50 percent of winters, Boston, New York and Philadelphia saw a last snowfall after March 9,” writes FiveThirtyEight’s Harry Enten. “In fact, 25 percent of the time in all three cities, it occurred at the end of March or even later.”

What that means is, Boston, a city 2 inches away from breaking its all-time measured snowfall record for a single winter, Enten writes, “still has plenty of time” to get in the way of another winter storm – or at least a passing squall.

According to Boston Snow Stats, the city has received 105.7 inches of snow this winter. The Hub’s snowiest winter (107.9 inches) remains 1995-96.

And whaddaya* know? There’s snow in Boston’s weekend forecast.
