CAPE

I didn't get anywhere close to 19".  We had 2" in mid Dec. and 7" on Jan. 26.  Other than that I don't remember a single significant event.  Got some light snow either Christmas Eve or early Christmas morning and some flurries from the boxing day fiasco.  Got lots of cold wind that winter, though.  I'd like to have punted that winter clear into orbit.... much like this one.

lol yeah... but much worse was yet to follow. I cant recall all the individual events, I would have to go back and dig. But inland areas of the MA got jobbed for sure. Here it was cold with pretty average snowfall. The Boxing day storm was disappointing even tho I did get some decent snow, but literally a 10 minute drive east and there was a foot, and coastal DE had 15".

Actually, we had a pretty -NAO in '10-11 and the winter still sucked.  

 

Only index that matters for us is TPCS.  In its semi-decadal relaxation period we have a chance to score.

Yes it was, and I actually did ok over here that winter. Had 19" or so which is about climo avg here. I got some decent scraps on the western edge of the Boxing Day storm, 5" or a bit better.

-NAO became extinct after Feb 2010.

lol. this sucks. Pinnacle of desperation. Let it go.

This winter sucks, which is no doubt the reason why this thread was started.

LOL

The more I look back on this storm the more I appreciate it. Definitely overshadowed by what happened in February that year or else it would probably be remembered differently. This storm had everything going for it. Great track with no mixing concerns and perfect temps. Also long duration with some winds. Can't ask for much more.

It wasn't a true blizzard, but given it was mid/late Dec. it was an awesome storm. I mean c'mon 20+ inches! That front end mega band gave me 6 inches in 2 hours. Great stuff.

Nice house CAPE.

 

And, mapgirl, nice photoshopped scenery.

 

Thanks. Yours is very cool as well. Is it a log home?

Dug up a couple photos from this event. In terms of snowfall that winter was truly Epic. Never see that again.

They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Nope. Once in a lifetime. Amazing and surreal winter. Near starvation since has produced rampant weenie-ism.

What I remember is that heavy snow band that developed on the front end here. Was supposed to be 1-2 inches by morning(I was planning to travel based on that) but the first 3 hours of the storm produced 6 inches of snow by 7 am...so I stayed home.
