You have to cut me some slack for growing up by the shore where blizzards compete with nor'easters and hurricanes for rankings on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle W Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 there was a storm when I was about 12 years old that had winds strong enough to blow about 100 Spalding balls that were lost on the roof of the school up the block from my house...Not only were they blown off the roof but were stuck in the cyclone fence that was around the yard...It was like Christmas morning because I picked about 25 good balls to play with...It was like picking apples off a tree...Stickball was the main game that we played at the time and most of those balls were hit back on the roof or split in half...There was a thunder storm in June 1962 that caused flooding and a sink hole near my block...1967 there was a thunder storm deluge that caused flooding on 10th Ave...I remember driving thru it and the water was about two to three feet high...November 11th, 1990's wind storm...60mph gust almost blew my weather box off the roof...2003's tornado and hail on Staten Island...2007's F2 tornado that hit Staten Island and Brooklyn not far from where I used to live...There are other strong frontal passages and thunder storms that did more damage than the blizzards and hurricanes imby at the time...

tamarack Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Using unc's "segregation" strategy: TCs 1. Hazel, 1954 - wind (NNJ) 2. Doria, 1971 - wind, rain (NNJ) 3. Bob, 1991 - wind, rain (C.Maine) 4. Donna, 1960 - wind (NNJ) 5. Belle, 1976 - rain (N.Maine) 6. Connie/Diane, 1955 - rain (NNJ) 7. Irene, 2011 - rain (W.Maine) 8. Floyd, 1999 - rain, some wind (W.Maine) 9. Edna, 1954 - wind (NNJ) 10. Agnes, 1972 - rain (NNJ) Snowstorms 1. April 7-8, 1982 - blizzard, best positive bust ever (N.Maine) 2. Feb 3-4, 1961 - 2' snow atop 2' snowpack (NNJ) 3. Mar 14-15, 1984 - 26.5" atop 42" snowpack (N.Maine) 4. Feb. 22-23, 2009 - 9" in 2:45, 18" in 7:30, 24.5" total (W.Maine) 5. Mar 1956 - surprise 2-ft powder (NNJ) 6. Dec 6-7, 2003 - 2 ft snow with winds (W.Maine) 7. Dec 24, 1966 - thundersnow (NNJ) 8. Dec 12-13, 1960 - 18" cold powder for NJ deer opener (NNJ) 9. Mar 30-31, 2001 - 19" brings 3/31 pack to 48" (W.Maine) 10. Jan 19-20, 1961 - 20" at temps near 10 (NNJ) Jan 2015 would be on the list, perhaps top 5, if I'd been home to see it - 20 blizzard-borne inches at single-digit temps. Other events 1. Jan 8,9, 1998 - ice storm (C.Maine) This would be #1 on a combo list. 2. Jan 8,9, 1953 - ice storm (NNJ) Probably the genesis of my interest in wx and trees. 3. Nov. 1950 - Apps gale (NNJ) Earliest wx memory, perhaps strongest winds expereienced (unless it's #4, below) 4. Dec. 1962 - New Year's Eve frigid gales (NNJ) Tree-toppling, pipe-freezing, window-smashing subzero NW winds. 5. Jan. 17-18, 1982 - Frigid winds (N.Maine) WCI at -101 [old scale. -70s on new] Temp -34 with winds 30-35. 6. Dec 25, 1980 - cold Christmas (N.Maine) Afternoon high -16 with winds 30G45 7. Aug 30, 2007 - treekiller hailstorm (W.Maine) Defoliated trees on 7,000 acres, partially debarking some. 8. Jan 2004 - Cold (W.Maine) Afternoon highs 14, 15 were -11 and -8. 9. Mar 2012 - Record heat (W.Maine) - Farmington's 3 warmest March days in 123 yr records. 10. Dec 1989 - Record cold (C.Maine) Possibly the largest monthly temp anomaly ever for many New England sites.
